Guess what? BLM’s “official” website has just decided they want to repeat the nonsense talking points you only see from MAGA, and claim people didn’t vote for Harris, and created discord. They demand an informal phone call where people can phone in. Yeah, they’ll probably get it. But the thing is, they just decided they care more about this than Black Lives. They just basically killed the movement, as they are now the group that is actively trying to harm the first black woman to run for office. All the while, the chaos they create just makes it easier for Trump to win. Literally the only people agreeing with them are openly MAGA. The one group who will not support them. The ones who called them hooligans and supports shooting them. It’s fucking insane, and I’m pissed the fuck off. I normally try not to get to this level, but FUCK. What selfish assholes, who just wanted to create a splash regardless of who it would hurt. Fuck them. ---

And, yes, as all the Dems tell them, people voted for Harris when they voted for Biden/Harris. And an informal phone call obviously won’t accomplish anything. It’s clearly just about getting themselves in the news and asserting power. Which I might be okay with if they didn’t risk everything for it, and condemn the BLM movement as a whole. There isn’t any side left to support them–financially or otherwise. ---

Precisely whom is behind “[blacklivesmatter.com](http://blacklivesmatter.com)”? BLM is a movement, not any single specific organization, and the fact that this particular group (whomever they are) was the quickest to register a domain name doesn’t mean that they speak for the whole movement. ---

No, [BlackLivesMatter.com](http://BlackLivesMatter.com) is associated with something called the Black Lives Matter Foundation, which is totally separate from the BLM Movement and the foundation you named. ---
