Brehs, have you actually been to the BLM website?? I just read through it for the first time and it was
http://blacklivesmatter.com/guiding-principles/
A handful of the principles:
Queer Affirming:
We are committed to fostering a queer‐affirming network. When we gather, we do so with the intention of freeing ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking or, rather, the belief that all in the world are heterosexual unless s/he or they disclose otherwise.
Black Family:
We are committed to making our spaces family-friendly and enable parents to fully participate with their children. W
e are committed to dismantling the patriarchal practice that requires mothers to work “double shifts” that require them to mother in private even as they participate in justice work.
Transgender Affirming:
We are committed to embracing and making space for trans brothers and sisters to participate and lead.
We are committed to being self-reflexive and doing the work required to dismantle cis-gender privilege and uplift Black trans folk, especially Black trans women who continue to be disproportionately impacted by trans-antagonistic violence.
Black Villages:
We are committed to disrupting the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, and especially “our” children to the degree that mothers, parents and children are comfortable.
WTF does this shyt have to do with helping the black community?!?!
