Mr. McLaughlin’s column last week stated that the BLM movement was anti-capitalism and inherently Marxist. I don’t think they are either. I think they just don’t want to get shot.
Lorinda, While you have the absolute right to think anything you want, you do have an obligation to yourself to be as informed as possible before you share those opinions publicly. Believing something is so, doesn’t necessarily make it so.
The fact is the BLM organization is unabashedly Marxist in its belief system and orientation. As such they are in fact anti-capitalism. This information is easily accessible to those curious to find it.
Also, try to conflate being native American, with immigration and then slavery into a, “full equity” argument is a bit muddled.
If you are trying to say the Black Americans don’t have “full equality”, that is just legally and factually incorrect. If this were so, how is that we had a Black President for 2 terms, Black Congressman and women, Black Senators, Black Mayors, Black DA’s, Black Police Chiefs, etc.
In the private sector, there are very successful Black business owners and entrepreneurs. We have a plethora of millionaire Black athletes and movie stars.
I suggest before you fall into the intellectually lazy trap of hyperbola, try to be a little more circumspect and objective in your formation of thought and critical analysis.
Linda, no one wants to get shot. The BLM movement was never about that. It was started by Marxists that wanted a jumping off place to divide us. My Great Great grandfather fought with black troops to free them. His brother died in Beaufort N.C withe the 26th us colored infantry fighting where col Gould Shaw was in the 54th. The black soldiers monument to those who fought to free the slaves was defaced by BLM protesters, Both of my ancestors names are there and the BLM morons are totally oblivious. They are mostly sheep. We owe the Marxist BLM founders nothing. They were not there for the fight. We were.
