Wow. They’re not even trying to hide it. But let these undercover CACs and c00ns on here tell it “there’s no agenda to erase black men.”
This RollingStone BLM front cover has divided opinions. Thoughts?

You are saying that the organization is getting the money from Soros but the movement doesn't have centralized leadership so they wouldn't (or really can't) take money like that.

I am saying that me for example saying "Black Lives Matter" would not make me a Soros acolyte.
Goal overlap is pretty common.
Plenty of people vote for a party candidate when they are not "members" of a party. Plenty (the majority I guess) vote for people with whom they do not agree 100%. I'd wager that that is the case for the vast majority of people. Plenty of people work together with people for a common goal even if ideologically they are not entirely on the same page.
Most brehs on here have a problem with the institution of US policing but most would call the police should the right circumstances arise - for example a car accident. A breh then calling the police is NOT subscribing to the KKK origins of the police force. It is done on the basis of common purpose.
To try to discredit multi-faceted and multi-regional goals on the basis of an organization whose platform has been to a large extent co-opted and synergized is missing the point.
People shouting "BLM" in London or Sydney do not want to see "BLM-USA" take over the world. They are calling for justice.
That "BLM" cry is the condensed vangard of the message of civil rights luminaries ranging back decades if not longer, wrapped up in a high-profile soundbite. They are also 'No Justice, No Peace" demos but the press prefer not to categorize them like that.
EDIT: Confusing the org with the movement with the slogan based - due to media conflation of the 3, is similar to how in the early days some could not understand that "coronavirus" did not mean coronavirus (the family of viruses) in a literal sense. A new colloquial meaning for coronavirus (meaning covid19) was coined on the fly during 2020 and it does NOT mean exactly what the old definition does.
This principle was succinctly put into words by CP today
"
As people will have seen from our first home game, we have placed banners over our seated areas at Selhurst Park that read: BLACK LIVES MATTER.
We stand proudly alongside members of the BAME community, our players and employees, and behind the ideals and ethos of “black lives matter”. However, we would like to make clear that we do not endorse any pressure group or body that carries the same term in its name, and we strongly believe that organisations should not use this important force for change and positivity to push their own political agendas.
We want to be part of a world that is fair, inclusive and open to all. As an organisation, we recognise that we need to do more, and we will do more to contribute towards this goal.

And I guess Pac had an agenda to erase black men when he made Brenda's Got a Baby?Wow. They’re not even trying to hide it. But let these undercover CACs and c00ns on here tell it “there’s no agenda to erase black men.”

We've reached a point where people are genuinely saying it's a negative image to see a black woman and child lead the March over the death of their black men.

I wonder what the people in this thread who berated me over this topic, have to say about the recent petition on Kaepernick’s book cover? I won’t hold my breath.
