Black Lives Matter has been criticized since its inception for its lack of clear policy goals. Instead, they’ve resorted to violence, vandalism, and chaos to make their point — as unclear as that may have been.
In the aftermath of the Dallas police massacre in 2016, two policies emerged from the controversial protest group. They want to totally disarm, demilitarize, defund, and disband the police, and they want reparations from white Americans.
One Black Lives matter organizer advocated for the latter policy point in an essay published in Wear Your Voice Magazine. In the piece, she demanded “housing, transportation, food, clothes, free space for meetings and work space; we need laptops, cell phones, encrypted systems for communication, solar power and LAND. ”
Why those systems of communications need to be encrypted is anyone’s guess — but it seems fairly obvious.

How about fuc you an free trip back to Africa for your liberal kind
You are out of your mind. There is no person alive today that owes you a thing. How about tracing your roots back to the African clan that sold your ancestors into slavery. Go after them.
This country was created by legitimate means by war against the English King. By the blood of soldiers who fought for independence. Blood sweet and tear of millions of people not just slaves. Less than 10% of Americans owed slaves. The upper crust elitists with the large plantations. So you thinking that every American owes you something just proves you are delusional.
Finally those founding documents are the bases by which this country was founded have been and always will be the core of our country. They are fair and the changes made to them in the past 200+ years have only improved and defined what needs to happen in this country. The only time this country has every been in trouble is when people try to destroy it.
As for those historical monuments you are destroying you are hurting yourself and every young child who will be deprived of the history you are trying to systematically remove and sanitize till it does not even represent the truth but only your view. I don’t know what school you attended but I learned that George Washington owned slaves by second grade. Maybe your kids have been learning the sanitized version of history the softer gentler version that liberal have pushed thru their agenda. Those statues and monuments are protected among The antiquities act and should be.
So this Marxist agenda of yours has no value. You see I know my roots well. We came from this country from Ireland England and France. We have never owed or had a slave instead we had families of 8 to 10 children worked on small farms from dawn to night. We worked in coal minds and field. No one gave us a damn thing. I and my people owe you just that.
This is very interesting. The taking down of the monuments is really not the objective. It’s the rewriting of future. It’s the reparations. It’s money for nothing. No one is still alive that was a slave in the United States. No one deserves my hard worked for money. I am tired of the whining. I will help you find work. I will help you better yourself just as I have done. But I refuse to give anyone money for this It’s really insane. I really am feeling like I am living in be twilight zone No one living today in this country can not make things better with hard work. They have to work at it and maybe that’s the issue. People don’t want to work since many have been living off the country. But someone pays for the welfare. Oh that’s right the hard working tax payers.
How about you all just go back from where your from! Live there instead!
You want to go that route then non of it is yours eather, the Indians were first..what about those selling blacks into slavery? What about the first slave owner who was actually black? What about the fact that the Dems we’re the slave owners, voted and fought to to keep them, started the KKK to kill freed slaves, voted against blacks voting, they let blacks die in the streets in cities run by them like Chicago without doing anything about or even naming the dead, they slaughter millions blacks with abortion, they keep enslaving blacksby keeping then down instead of giving them jobs and a way to succeed…what about the facts that not all blacks we’re slaves, slaves came in all colors, not all whites owned slaves, we are not responsible for the sin of our fathers, thousands died freeing the slaves…instead of going backwards how about ending slavery around the world? It goes on today, what about them?…it’s not going to happen nor should it…
