Of course, black lives matter

But Black Lives Matter doesn't, except as a threat to the rule of law. David Horowitz explains.
The power of Black Lives Matter stemmed from its exploitation of the ideology of oppression – Identity Politics – a ready-made indictment looking for a crime. Black Lives Matter was at the center of a very large network, including hundreds of leftist organizations sharing the same vision. Among them: The Freedom Road Socialist Organization, Dream Defenders, Hands Up United, Black Left Unity Network, Black Workers for Justice, Black Alliance for Just Immigration, Right to the City Alliance, School of Unity and Liberation, Dignity and Power Now, Grassroots Global Justice Alliance, Causa Justa/Just Cause, Organization for Black Struggle, Communist Party USA, Showing Up for Racial Justice, and others.

Many of these organizations are funded by America’s largest corporations and philanthropies, including the Ben & Jerry Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Margaret Casey Foundation, the Nathan Cummings Foundation, and George Soros’s Open Society Institute.
Ah, yes, of course, our old friends: the Marxist ice cream magnates and the unofficial Hitler youth who spent his childhood years tagging Jewish furniture for resale. Scum.

I have friends and relatives are fully into the white guilt/check-your-privilege shtick, enragingly so. But they have drank deeply of the Kool-Aid, alas.

But I tell them that Black Lives Matter -- as an organization -- I will not support.

I do support the concept that black lives matter, but as a small part of the concept that All Live Matter. But please note the capitalization. This also matters.

BLM has become a protection racket (if it wasn't always). So many corporations have fallen for the trap, I've run out of idiots to personally boycott.

The latest rube was Petco. A mass email from their CEO implored all their customers to actively support BLM. I replied that I would never do business with such a spineless organization that would beg its customers to join their "please don't loot us" groveling.

(I'm sure no one will ever read it, but it did feel good to hit "send".)

Somebody probably saw it (and, who knows, maybe even quietly agreed with it).

In 2008, candidate Obama stated, "...We are five days away from fundamentally transforming America." That meant from the foundation up. I believe the recent "protests" are a part of that agenda.

No amount of placation will ever be enough. BLM is a part of the ultimate goal of a Utopian society as outlined by Saul Alinsky. BLM may not know it, but they are useful tools to that goal.

Spiny, thanks for the info on Petco. It's hard to boycott every company that has aligned with this nonsense. Remember the China boycott when many said they would no longer buy Chinese goods?
