It is ironic that BLM, which has as its founding core the destruction of white culture, comes from the theories of dead old pasty German men (Frankfurt School), with the Italian Gramsci thrown in the mix. For those who don’t know, when Marxism 1.0 didn’t arrive because the harsh economic conditions of industrialisation sorted themselves out, they pivoted to culture. It was the culture that needed to be overturned. This is why it is so bourgeois, with it taking hold in universities but not in factories. I was listening to a sister (nun) who said that Joseph, Mary and Jesus exemplified the perfect family and one should pray for all families to use them as a model. Listening to this, it hit me why Marxists want to destroy the family. If the nuclear family is deemed the foundation, you destroy that foundation by destroying it. A nuclear family is an unearned privilege. And you need to destroy the concept of women, because women are the foundation of the family. If there is no unique divinity for women, then mere words create the social construction. Ironically, as Luxury Beliefs author Rob Henderson writes, the bourgeoisie strive for intact families as they instinctively know it is the best way for wealth and stability. They seemingly outsource their guilt to others - sort of like outsourcing housekeeping, gardening, etc.
During "covid" a friend and I lampooned both BLM and the fake pandemic with "BSM" which stood for Black Sheep Matter. We were constantly thinking of ways to resist what felt exactly like the Invasion of the Body Snatchers (all the Karens shrieking about masks etc).
This 1000%! Thank you, Adam! BLM is irrelevant these days and has lost mainstream support from the vast majority of Americans including black Americans. But they are still around I'll be it to a lesser extent. BLM Minnesota giving a press conference about Renee Good-a white lesbian-seems positively bizarre until you realize what they really are all about. The are Communists agitators and black separatists who don't really care about black people, but more so leftist ideology and pushing their agenda. BLM never said a word about the two young black men killed in CHOP in Seattle by Antifa. BLM never said a peep about black St. Louis former police chief David Dorn was killed in a home invasion. BLM has said nothing about black Jews facing antisemitism here in America, black Israelis who face death everyday fighting in the IDF against Hamas or who hide in bomb shelters as Iran and their proxies rain down rockets on them, they've said nothing about Afro-Palestinians who live under the Arab Jim Crow in Gaza, or the Islamic Slave Trade. If they truly were a civil rights organization, they would speak out for all black people not just in select cases. Only some black lives matter to BLM and only when it's politically convenient. Let us be clear, Black Lives Matter are a dangerous Marxist hate group that hates the United States of America and all we stand for and seek to dismantle it. They hate white people, Asians and Jews who seek to get rid of liberal democracy, capitalism, pluralism, free speech, religious freedom, the rule of law, English Common Law, Judeo-Christian values, the nuclear family, the institution of marriage, and monogamy and want to bring back racial segregation, rollback the progress Dr. King and the Civil Rights Movement made and prevent the beloved community Dr. King dreamed of coming into being.
They use the terrible oppression and injustices black people suffered in the past to try and force their ideology on the nation. For them neither our institutions nor the country can be reformed as they are sick with the disease of structural, institutional, foundational whatever you want to call it, racism. It doesn't matter if one isn't racist, as a white person you benefit from white supremacy. If you are a person of color who disagree with them, you're a c**n, a house n****** or a race traitor who is white-adjacent and an agent of white supremacy. When Americans see these radical black activists on stage stomping their feet, shouting angrily and cussing out the audience they think that they must be a representation of the broader black community in America which they most certainly are not. They are excellent at propaganda, PR and marketing I'll give them that. It's so effective because as Adam points out, there is a grain of truth in it. Black people were treated horribly in the past in America and racism to some extent, still exists today. But their solution to this is the wrong one. Their solution is things like reparations for slavery, quotas, set-asides, collectivizing land, gulags, redistribution of wealth, mass executions, tearing up the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and reinstituting separate public accommodations for whites and blacks. I have a better solution: equal opportunity for everyone. Reparations for slavery in particular is a horrible idea, it would only make worse the political and racial divisions that exist in our society. Better ways to help black Americans would be better education, better healthcare, criminal justice reform, police reform, ending the War on Drugs, passing the John Lewis Voting Right Act, and investing in the inner cities.
I was shocked to read their platform. It’s always such deceptive nonsense. I don’t think that most people saying “Black Lives Matter” understood that they were supporting the destruction of black families.
They use women expendably in their movement as fodder also bc they don't GAS about their lives. Another excellent book 1st hand knowledge in the early days of using blacks in communist movement is, "Color, communism and Common Sense" by Manning Johnson, A Black American Communist who became disillusioned & penned this cautionary tale of the perils of his experience. ~ https://www.amazon.com/Color-Communism-Common-Manning-Johnson/dp/1258775050
"communistic symbolism, like the raised fist in the air, is in fact Black in nature because we saw some dudes in afros doing it on old film."
I saw it live and in-person, Mr. Coleman. Being young and disaffected, I joined an organization that held a united front with the Panthers on certain issues. It required a few years to mature enough that the inherently totalitarian nature of socialism became too obvious for the "democratic" rhetoric of the socialists to be accepted as anything but manipulative propaganda.
During that period, I was schooled the strategies and tactics of the revolutionist left. When I say that I have observed the "long march through American institutions for nearly six decades, I mean that literally.
Your analysis of provocateurism is entirely accurate. When you observe how those unfamiliar with the strategies and tactics of the murderous left, are easily swayed by their deceit, you are spot-on. I would assert that the observed receptivity, however, is not a natural outcome of honest ignorance or unfamiliarity; the vulnerability has been incrementally induced over half of a century.
I say this, because I was a street proselytizer in the nineteen-seventies, on street corners in one of the most "liberal" of American cities. Those were a time of caution, and the radical totalitarians taught their "street preachers" to be agreeable. My point is that commonsensical rejoinders were the most common interaction I experienced. That city was multicultural, and that common sense was evinced by people of all complexions and ethnic heritages.
Over the last decade, we saw the long march reach its goal. Starting in the universities, the violence began to spread outward. Now, we have a proxy for the international proletariat in residence within the USA, in critical-mass numbers. This, too, was by design; they don't call it an "international" for no reason.
We are in the throes of a counterrevolution. It'll get worse before it gets better, assuming the apparatchiki have not created more than simply an imprimatur of inevitability. It is at the point of civil police forces being compromised in major cities, and we just witnessed attempts to suborn the military.
Our high-trust society has experienced its insouciant heedlessness weaponized against its very foundations. However apocryphal the quotation attributed to Ivan Illich, "they will sell us the rope with which we shall hang them," has indeed occurred.
I view it like God told the prophet Samuel - that it's tempting to think we can argue people out of it, reason with their hatred, but they hate God... it's hard to use the good to convince them to about face when they hate the Good. But then I read the life of Roman Braga and I learn there is a humility and a prayer that makes faith endure. Let them taste the consequences of hating everything good... and pray that God preserves your life in peace. Consequences are precious, and bring repentance.
Well said Adam. That is very eye opening journalism, and worrying. We have a great thing going here in the U.S., and there seems to be no shortage of people that want to tear it down. I guess as you suggested, all we can do is be vigilant, and critical thinkers, to not allow these movement to creep further into our society.
“Communists in blackface.” Beautiful. Not everyone could or would be willing to say that. You did. Props to you Adam for that. You’re absolutely correct. They are communists and care nothing about black Americans except to use as convenient props to push their socialist/communist authoritarian and controlling agenda.
Sorry, I got lost in the strawmen, ad hominem, overgeneralizations, deflections, and red herrings, so I'm not sure what you're saying here. You started out asking about Black Panthers as if you read only the title, so I asked if you'd actually read the piece itself, and I'm still unsure that you did. Have a good afternoon.

Entirely and utterly true.

This is perfectly written. Great job.

Thanks for yet another insightful essay.

And a great scam money grab
Whoa, ho, ho, ho, ho! Good one!
I couldn’t help but think of Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man while reading your very insightful article.
Well said Adam. That is very eye opening journalism, and worrying. We have a great thing going here in the U.S., and there seems to be no shortage of people that want to tear it down. I guess as you suggested, all we can do is be vigilant, and critical thinkers, to not allow these movement to creep further into our society.
Bless you man. I love this. Thank you for doing this work.
“Communists in blackface.” Beautiful. Not everyone could or would be willing to say that. You did. Props to you Adam for that. You’re absolutely correct. They are communists and care nothing about black Americans except to use as convenient props to push their socialist/communist authoritarian and controlling agenda.
Incredible article. Standing for the truth starts with spotting the lies!
Black Panther Party are commies too. Not a fan.
But you're bad faith anyways.
Did you read the column?
Sorry, I got lost in the strawmen, ad hominem, overgeneralizations, deflections, and red herrings, so I'm not sure what you're saying here. You started out asking about Black Panthers as if you read only the title, so I asked if you'd actually read the piece itself, and I'm still unsure that you did. Have a good afternoon.
