BLM or BLGN
from XI8: THE PINK ROOM
BLM
If no one is going to say it, I will. Black Lives Matter is just another means to propagandize the black life more than actually helping a black life. I already know a majority of you reading this article will either go against my statement or want to hear more, so here the facts.

Over the last year the Black Lives Matter movement has proved to be more of a business than a movement. Wordly marches have happened on account of actual black people losing their lives and yet BLM or should we say BLMGN has yet to create 0 legal changes in the system that control or even minimize the behaviors of law enforcement initiated by BLM or compensated scorned families as retribution. They represent righteous treatment of black people by the hands of the law through protest but are not actually helping to redirect the violence and poverty line that could help decrease black on black crimes, hunger and even police brutality. With all of the traction and followers still there has been no concrete contract or plan that has the intentions of protecting black lives or the rights of black lives.
The black lives matter movement has received $90,000,000 in funds that have not been distributed towards black people or black families or black lives at all. At first these were just rumors until I did my own research. Scattering through the internet and articles brought me upon a random white woman on the internet who nicely exposes a website that allows one to follow all monetary reports that have to do with political donations and expenses. Now, this website led me to find the financial expenditures for ACT BLUE. Who the hell is Act Blue you ask? Well, if you go to the website blacklivesmatter.com and then press donate there are terms and conditions. These terms and conditions tell the donors who their money is streaming through. So Act Blue is a third party charity carrier for political campaigns. Facts, saying the slogan “Black Lives Matter” is the perfect hashtag that doesn’t take too much time in your day to write but also shows there is some grief in your heart. The saying black lives matter has proved to be just that, a saying which has become a trend. With all of the movements around the world for black lives, black lives continue to suffer daily. From community poverty to police
BLMGN
shootings that haunt the black community these things are still happening everyday and honestly nothing has changed. Zero legislation has been put in place to protect the rights of black people, no laws have been passed and settlements for black lives are being passed out like hot cakes.
Everyday black people are forced to see the letters BLM all over the world yet treated in the opposite manner. We are forced to be reminded that black life is not revered at all. We see it through art, marches and just seeing plain old racism and discrimination happening in everyday life. We see these things all over the world and yet nothing but the minds of some people are shifting.
The BLMGN movement has become a worldwide trend so why hasn’t there been a black agenda presented to congress or even the Mayor. There has not been one black life changed from the support of black lives matter movement and no black agenda created. If you dive deep behind any movement you will come to understand that an effective movement has a multi-tier of things happening simultaneously. As we witnessed in the civil rights movement from the 60’s and 70’s everyone played a different part that powered towards one cause. The church shared information for people to connect to politicians that were aligned on the issue at hand. Those leaders were bringing out the masses to show support behind a new mindset and a new legislation and justice was served.
Now that the black community is looking for a way out so to speak, it is time for the tiers to be organized. We all need to play our part toward a common goal. If we do that, we win and when we win the world wins. Collaborating the world’s trauma under the slogan, black lives matter only buries the issue of black lives not mattering. The black conversation gets redirected and eventually never heard.
Black Lives Matter Global Network raised $90 million after Geoge Floyd uprisings. Recently it was revealed that Patrisse Cullors, co-founder of Black Lives Matter Global Network has purchased multiple million dollar homes in addition to her and her wife’s other owned ranches and properties. This raises questions from the community and from the families of the victims that made face for the BLMGN Community such as George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and many other police brutality victims.
