In perhaps one of the greatest messaging coups of all time, the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (BLMGNF) – an international effort funded by some of the most powerful and wealthy leftists admittedly steeped in the Marxist playbook – took the true statement that black lives matter and used it to create chaos and destroy the livelihoods of the very people it was professing to help.
In our final chapter, “BLM: Washington, DC – The Myth Behind The Movement,” we examine the protests in DC and the dawning realization that the aftermath of George Floyd’s death was, at its heart, a missed opportunity. While the BLM national organization raised millions of dollars, the local chapters – and other community organizations already working on similar community efforts – saw little to none of the money raised. Instead, BLM engaged in fraud, misdirection, and political activism rather than addressing societal problems. It ultimately led to their reputational demise and extreme discord and damage in the nation’s capital.
BLM Aftermath: Houston
In Chapter 4, “BLM: Houston” we examine what happens when a city refuses to bend to the will of the activists who descend on their city and choose to deny them the chaos they seek. Houston, birthplace of George Floyd, held two funerals – one led by Rev. Al Sharpton – but managed to keep the rioting at bay. “BLM: Houston” examines why that city was successful in maintaining peace during the tumultuous summer of 2020 – and why it can serve as a lesson to the rest of the country.
BLM Aftermath: Atlanta - Bullying Black Businesses
In BLM: Aftermath – Chapter 1, we explored the consequences of the protests and riots following the murder of George Floyd from the perspective of those living in Floyd’s Minneapolis neighborhood. In BLM: Chapter 2 – Cleveland, we looked at what the 2020 demonstrations did to a city already familiar with economic devastation resulting from racial tension through the implementation of a policy of public safety oversight by a community-led oversight board, leading to a police exodus and rising crime. In the newest installment, BLM: Chapter 3 – Atlanta, we interview business owners and Atlanta residents who recall the damage done to the black economic sector in the city when tensions led to a fight over voting legislation and the subsequent removal of MLB’s All-Star game.
Black Lives Matter, Inc: Cleveland
In BLM: Chapter 2 – Cleveland, we look at what the 2020 demonstrations did to a city already familiar with economic devastation resulting from racial tension. In the wake of the protests, Cleveland voters implemented a policy of public safety oversight by a community-led board (over the objections of the city’s African American mayor and police chief), a situation that has led to an anemic police force and rising crime in the city.
Black Lives Matter, Inc: Minneapolis Shakedown
In a new video series, sponsored by Capital Research Center and filmed and produced by No Filters Media, we look at Minneapolis one year after the protests following the death of George Floyd. Did Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (BLMGNF) help the people in the very neighborhood where Floyd died? Watch the first in the BLM Aftermath series and decide for yourselves.
