What have they done? They just cause confusion and dont address any issues. Never have a plan of action.

which is why I've never taken that hashtag stuff serious. Until they sit down somewhere and start making plans & executing actions to uplift black people economically I have no time for it.

well, damn... and that's not from some nominal member, that's the founder. that statement is just an extension of the latent hate a segment of black women from the 90s to now have harbored toward black men for our perceived "privilege"


i'm realizing this fear and disdain of black male LEADERSHIP definitely transcends race and gender :wow:


the fact that black males are the most traditionally masculine is alienating to a lot of people, so we get these back-handed critiques.




so the inherent flaw of the black power movement, amidst all the powerful work/leadership they provided in marginalized communties wasn't COINTELPRO, mass incarceration of black males or the influx of crack, but the inability to "center" all these aforementioned groups? :what:

in between all that, we had the time to primarily responsible for oppressing and silencing all these groups all this time, huh? :francis:

i feel like malcolm, huey x, garvey, etc. would've been torn to shreds heavily in critique by this group based on this rationale

this is some dubious shyt.


thing is, BLM already has the blessing of white liberals everywhere, so they're going to dominate the black culture discourse... the "buy black, love black" rhetoric is gonna be relegated to the internet, because productive black movements that are perceived as "divisive" aren't allowed to gain traction in america without push back.


black men need to continue to make power moves nonetheless, cuz the hate is coming from all avenues, even for things we aren't respoinsible for :dwillhuh:
Repped.

The growing anti black male resentment in society is disturbing.

People are now projecting any and every negative quality imaginable on us.

Last night i had to give a stern talking to a black woman on tumblr who felt the need to assign one black man's negative comments towards black women on twitter to ALL black men. I told her she is using the same horrible logic racists use to dehumanize us as justification for her hatred of black men. I bet I will get no response


This is not good at all.

"[Black Lives Matter] goes beyond the narrow nationalism that can be prevalent within Black communities, which merely call on Black people to love Black, live Black and buy Black, keeping straight cis Black men in the front of the movement while our sisters, queer and trans and disabled folk take up roles in the background or not at all."

Oh hell nah :what:
:dahell:

I actually had to go to their site and read this.

This whole movement is so fugazi :mindblown:

I'm kind of confused. How can you say black lives matter, but give off the perception that you don't want to pro create with black men :jbhmm:

And most of these "woke" girls with natural hair have a white boy at home. Man I get more and more disillusioned each day.

TBH BLM has too much exposure in the media to actually be good for black people. That should have been red flag number one.

In a move that illustrates the intersectionality of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement and the work of activists who advocate for LGBTQI rights, the San Francisco Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Pride Celebration Committee has named BLM as one of its grand marshals for the 2016 pride parade.

The 46th annual San Francisco Pride Parade is scheduled for June 26, and this year’s theme is “For Racial and Economic Justice.” SFist reports that the parade typically has about 13 grand marshals each year. Black Lives Matter will serve as the organizational grand marshal; co-founder Alicia Garza was a grand marshal in 2015. It’s an honor that closely aligns with the mission of the organization, which includes the following passage:

[Black Lives Matter] goes beyond the narrow nationalism that can be prevalent within Black communities, which merely call on Black people to love Black, live Black and buy Black, keeping straight cis Black men in the front of the movement while our sisters, queer and trans and disabled folk take up roles in the background or not at all.

Black Lives Matter affirms the lives of Black queer and trans folks, disabled folks, black-undocumented folks, folks with records, women and all Black lives along the gender spectrum. It centers those that have been marginalized within Black liberation movements. It is a tactic to (re)build the Black liberation movement.

The group also announced two other grand marshals, both of whom are people of color. Larry Yang, who has helped to create several LGBTQI meditation groups in the Bay Area, will be the community grand marshal. And Janetta Johnson, executive director of the Transgender Gender Variant and Intersex Justice Project, is the member’s choice for community grand marshal.
