For as good as the BLM movement has been, everything I’ve seen of the BLM organization paints it as incredibly corrupt. It seems like it was almost immediately hijacked by some of the worst people.
Oh absolutely. BLM started as and still should be a decentralized movement. Most of the people I’ve seen trying to label themselves “leaders” in the movement have either been useless liberals or outright narcissists/greedy people trying to get into the spotlight. The usual “positions of power attract the worst people” kind of deal.
I just made a similar post. It’s great to see people agree.
Keep it simple. The concept of Black Lives Matter is important. It’s easy to understand, easy to agree with, and it should be uncontroversial.
As with any good ideas, there will opportunists trying to make a buck, and even plants like this guy working to give BLM a bad name.

Hes looking for that sweet dumbass money.
Trump is still at it, so that stone must still have some blood left.
Lots and lots apparently.
There’s a massive machine behind making sure blood continues to be pumped into that stone.

Uncle Ruckus Caucus?
I doubt Mark Fisher will acknowledge the substantial check Trump gave him for that endorsement.
Hell yeah. While he was putting out pieces like this, few people paid him any mind, and he probably felt like he was screaming into the void (lord knows, we all do). Now he’ll get instantly catapulted to stardom, he’ll be invited for interviews on Fox News at least weekly for the next 12 months, and he’ll be invited to speak at the 2024 GOP Convention. We all know exactly what he’s doing and why he’s doing it.

According to an interview Fisher did with The Epoch Times in October 2023, he was a co-founder of BLM’s Rhode Island chapter but had stepped down from his leadership role to form his own group called Black Lives Matter Incorporated. The timing around when he left BLM’s Rhode Island network to form this new group was unclear. BLM Incorporated, according to The Epoch Times, appears to focus on entrepreneurship education and financial empowerment for Black people, and says it is not affiliated with any political party.
Grifter.
So a very misleading headline.
It’s not a surprise… No real person I knew of any race supported the organization.
BLM as a phrase though and as movement beyond the politics was something else entirely. I felt like it encompassed everyone that wasn’t authoritarian. Any color and class any orientation… It was humanity vs evil.
Villains often make charities and organizations. Never trust that stuff. It’s part of the American game.
