I only just looked into BLM when I saw a few comments about what they truly want. I didn't bother with BLM to begin with, but I am now actively against them after reading this. I encourage you all to share this (and the website link) to anyone who supports or thinks of supporting them under the guise of "equality" or "racial justice." It is anything but.

• 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.

• We make space for transgender brothers and sisters to participate and lead. (LOL)

• 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. (Oh no, mentally ill people are treated poorly. What a crime.)

• We build a space that affirms Black women and is free from sexism, misogyny, and environments in which men are centered.

• We make our spaces family-friendly and enable parents to fully participate with their children. 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. (This isn't patriarchy, it is something both men and women do to provide, and an unfortunate problem families face in the country. This is just another way to blame men for something we didn't do.)

• We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable.

• We foster 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). (This has nothing to do with racial justice at all.)

Be anti-liberal. Be anti-BLM. It doesn't make you racist or misogynist or anything else liberals call us when we disagree.
