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.

bull$#%&!@* I spent over 40 yrs. working and supporting people on welfare by payroll taxes, do you even know of that concept.
Dude, I haven’t really read the other comments. I’m actually in the process of deleting a lot of these sites because they’ve devolved into insults, hating on each other etc. I’m really bummed it’s come to this…organizations like BLM, “new” Black Panthers, racist white organizations etc etc have taken over the narrative and caused evermore polarization, segregation, resentment and yes, hate. It really seems we are regressing and going backwards. Whites hating on Blacks, Blacks hating on Whites..blanket statements and sweeping generalizations on both sides. I’m guilty of getting pulled into it. We need less shouting and more dialogue. Where are we heading? It doesn’t look good.
Nailed it on all accounts Holmes. Do yourself a favor and don’t read them. It’s just despair after that. It might be time for me to quit FB for a while. What in the hell is happening to us?
Thank GOD ALMIGHTY!!!
Sorry sweetie but this country is not 400 years old and so therefore you have not been a slave for that long and YOU have never been a slave
You need to learn a little history before you spout off about what “your” people are due.
If this country is so bad go back to Africa where your ancestors were stolen by Black Muslim slave traders and brought to many countries besides the USA and one of the first slave owners in this country was Black. Check it out!!
Sorry everything I have is mine! I earned it and none of it was given to me by anyone else except my mother who taught me to work hard for everything I wanted! Sorry you are so sick but I am also sick of these idiots that don’t want to work
Donald Trump’s Common Sense is just too common for Demo liberals and Republican Rinos. I want to vote for a President who is down to earth with the people and who loves America. GO TRUMP!!
That was stupid when Obama said it and it is even more stupid that you repeat this c**p
I should get money just to look at you
It’s fuckin’ sad. I’ve contemplated deleting FB too, but it’s a good way to keep up with Family and friends like you as well. It’s not that I don’t care about politics, it’s just it seems that Social Media amplifies the WORST aspects of it. It’s easy to get caught up in debates that always go nowhere. I value you and your opinion and I count you as a real friend. I’ll be unliking this site among others. I’m tired of all the b******t showing up in my feed. I’m not going to even bother reading other comments on this thread, I’ll take your word on it that there are some fucked up$#%&!@*and I have no interest in getting pissed at ignorance. Stay down homie.
