Is "parents" supposed to include fathers? Does "parents" not include mothers so it needs to be called out separately? That is very strange wording. Genuinely curious?
It's because so many black fathers skip out on their families and BLM wants those absent fathers to swell their ranks, so they try to make them feel welcome by writing bullshit like that in their mission statement.
It means women who are married and possibly the occasional man. They knew that if they put the word "fathers" in that black men would just laugh and be like "nah I'm good".
I grew up poor so I been friends with a lotta people, and one thing black dudes always told me is that I should never date a black girl. White girls have food in their fridge and their momma treats you nicely, black girls be havin tampons layin on the floor, no food in the fridge and their momma yellin bout "Why you bringin these broke ass mfs to my house?"
I've heard it theorized that overall declining crime rates are a result of readily available abortions in minority communities. That there are far fewer people in the crime-committing demographics as a result. An alarming concept, but perhaps correct.
I believe you but they have no strategy. They don't even have a strategy to bring about the change they are protesting for. You give them way too much credit.
My really good friend is a coordinator for Big Brothers Big Sisters, and she can’t get barely any black men to step up and become a mentor, despite constant community outreach events.
Most of the kids in the program are black. Some have requested black mentors but they just don’t want to do it.
It’s still a major problem, despite how many pictures of black families you see.
That sucks, man. Need more people like Brandon Tatum. Correct me if I'm wrong but he genuinely does seem to care about the virtues of a nuclear family. He's spoke at length about how he idolizes hisfather for being there, through thick or thin.
I read up on it - it is filled with generic Social Justice Warrior garbage. Let me comment on that.
Our intention from the very beginning was to connect Black people from all over the world
Aka: Globalist nature, import Africa and 3rd world culture.
who have a shared desire for justice to act together in their communities
"Justice" as in "Social Justice", as in collectivist justice like stripping Jews of their property and mass murdering them. Or collectivist justice like stripping farmers with even a shred of autonomy of everything and putting them into gulags to work themselves to death.
Enraged by the death of Trayvon Martin
Oh yes, "enraged" truly highlights the objectivity, universality and sanity of the movement. Also: The first diddn' do nuffin?
state-sanctioned violence and anti-Black racism
Stated multiple time without any evidence. I could claim anti-white racism based on some anecdotal data. I could claim ANYTHING with selective data. I could claim anti-male golden retriever racism easily too.
won critical legislation to benefit Black lives
Aka furthered socialism, which was the very type of politics that degraded black culture so much (including all cultures).
Every day, we recommit to healing ourselves and each other, and to co-creating alongside comrades, allies, and family a culture where each person feels seen, heard, and supported.
Oh-oh... the nasty c-word. Quite disconcerting...
We are unapologetically Black in our positioning
Aka racist? What is a "black positioning" even? What if blacks disagree? Are they not black? Ah I see... they become race traitors, because you hold monopoly over the definition of what is "black" or not.
We are guided by the fact that all Black lives matter, regardless of actual or perceived sexual identity, gender identity, gender expression, economic status, ability, disability, religious beliefs or disbeliefs, immigration status, or location.
Oh boy, here we enter HEAVY communism territory. We got a huge list of collectives/identities, the typical gender bending stuff, atheism and of course illegal immigration support (aka 3rd world mass immigration).
We are self-reflexive and do the work required to dismantle cisgender privilege and uplift Black trans folk, especially Black trans women who continue to be disproportionately impacted by trans-antagonistic violence.
And more of that crap. Typical ideologically possessed terminology. Appeals to NPCs.
We build a space that affirms Black women and is free from sexism, misogyny, and environments in which men are centered.
And we entered the domain of demonizing black men. Well, that was quick.
We practice empathy. We engage comrades with the intent to learn about and connect with their contexts.
The bad c-word again. And "intent to learn" = brainwash into neo-Marxism. And "and connect with their contexts" = deprive them of their senses to perceive reality, and to live in a dream world of collectivist oppression Olympics where everything is about race, gender and identity, and where reason and logic do not matter, only power.
We make our spaces family-friendly
Aka: Even more welfare programs.
We dismantle the patriarchal practice that requires mothers to work “double shifts” so that they can mother in private even as they participate in public justice work.
Patriarchal practice? Wtf? Patriarchal practice would be to have mothers being subservient to their husbands in terms of decision making - and at least being in a firm relationship. Black relationships are predominantly matriarchal, if anything. Especially given how they just talked about single mothers, highlighting it's a significantly large group.
And what the hell is "justice work"? Do single black mothers somehow qualify as judges, lawyers or legislators?
We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families
Ah yeah, the terrible nuclear family structure that seems to work out best for everybody - statistically and self-evidently. Let's just make everybody a degenerate by default.
We foster a queer‐affirming network.
Ugh.
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).
This is the shit leftists are programmed with. Unbelievable. I was left-leaning, but garbage like that never reached me. And I thought I was bad off.
We cultivate an intergenerational and communal network free from ageism
Did they forget about the whole black-people thing? This is just pure neo-Marxism now. Also: Intergenerational and communal network: Global work towards communism with emphasis on long-term effect, the subversion of Western Culture - aka government education system & media.
We embody and practice justice, liberation, and peace in our engagements with one another.
God could you imagine if we wrote a charter that said our goal was to unite white people from all over the world. Racism only applies to whites and is therefore a fake issue.
Did they completely avoid use of the word "father"? Wonder why they would do that...
Yup, mothers and parents
Is "parents" supposed to include fathers? Does "parents" not include mothers so it needs to be called out separately? That is very strange wording. Genuinely curious?
They don’t want fathers involved. After fifty years of LBJ policies supporting single mother families, fathers are an alien concept.
'Fathers' is racist because most black people don't have them.
^I know this sounds racist, but it's honestly 72%. I'm not saying that as an attack, it's a tragedy that must be resolved.
Too bad they don't want the tax payers involvement.
Brave new world.
It's because so many black fathers skip out on their families and BLM wants those absent fathers to swell their ranks, so they try to make them feel welcome by writing bullshit like that in their mission statement.
It means women who are married and possibly the occasional man. They knew that if they put the word "fathers" in that black men would just laugh and be like "nah I'm good".
I mean, where do fathers exist in the average black family structure?
Either dead, roaming to knock up another slut, or part of a gang.
Or in prison...
For breaking the law.
They're never at back-to-school night. Speaking from experience.
Hell my nephew's father wasn't even there for the birth.
Under the knee of a cop in a fentanyl-induced haze, apparently.
It's the welfare state not the color of their skin.
It's the culture, created and enabled by the welfare state. Democrats did this.
Yup
black women can be based
but yeah unfortunately many of them are gone but this isnt exclusive to black women
I grew up poor so I been friends with a lotta people, and one thing black dudes always told me is that I should never date a black girl. White girls have food in their fridge and their momma treats you nicely, black girls be havin tampons layin on the floor, no food in the fridge and their momma yellin bout "Why you bringin these broke ass mfs to my house?"
It's almost like there is a glaringly obvious solution to their problem....
That would require the black community to solve its own problems, and das rayciss.
It's funny, because that's precisely what Malcolm X and MLK advocated for, which is now apparently racist and white supremacist thinking.
well evolution showed it was possible, a long long time ago
r/K
Planned Parenthood?

City life isn't good for blacks either. African people are made for wide open spaces supposedly. Makes sense.
My really good friend is a coordinator for Big Brothers Big Sisters, and she can’t get barely any black men to step up and become a mentor, despite constant community outreach events. Most of the kids in the program are black. Some have requested black mentors but they just don’t want to do it. It’s still a major problem, despite how many pictures of black families you see.
You get more of what you fund. Fund poverty, more poverty. Fund food stamps, more people on food stamps. Simple feedback loop.
It's time to admit defeat and sue for peace in the war on poverty. Poverty won.
That sucks, man. Need more people like Brandon Tatum. Correct me if I'm wrong but he genuinely does seem to care about the virtues of a nuclear family. He's spoke at length about how he idolizes hisfather for being there, through thick or thin.

Yeah, no. False.
I was under the impression that the black community was the most anti-LGBT community in the US? I wonder if they know that section of the BLM creed.
They absolutely do not read the creed. Same as all these people donating to them.
Hey, it's "Black Lives Matter." Who would possibly oppose that? They must be a force for good with a name like that. Just like antifa.
Thanks mate. This is (your quality) why I scroll down the comments section!
Well disassembled. This needs to be its own post.
God could you imagine if we wrote a charter that said our goal was to unite white people from all over the world. Racism only applies to whites and is therefore a fake issue.
Thank you for dissecting this and explaining it
I guess fathers are sexist or something.
I'm really starting to hate these people.
