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.

What bothers me about these people that think they deserve reparations is their going after the wrong country. They need to go after England, Spain and France and their own tribes in Africa. Those are the countries that caught the slave and brought them to the Americas. America wasn’t even a country when slavery came to it’s shores. First and foremost go to Africa and ask the chiefs there why their forefathers sold their people and other tribes men they were using as slaves. That’s the origin.
And secondly. Today a black person that grew up in the US in nowhere near entitled to reparations. They are so far removed from any personal damages.
The truth is they are after tearing apart our founding documents.
Nothing we have is yours.
