U.S. embassies and consulates worldwide displayed the flag of Black Lives Matter — an organization founded by a self-avowed “trained Marxist” — on Tuesday to mark the one-year anniversary of the death of George Floyd, who died while in police custody in Minneapolis, Minnesota last May.
The U.S. State Department authorized the BLM flag’s display at all U.S. “Diplomatic and Consular posts” on May 25 through a leaked memo published by Human Events.
“The Department supports the use of the term ‘Black Lives Matter’ in messaging content, speeches, and other diplomatic engagements with foreign audiences to advance racial equity and access to justice on May 25 and beyond. We encourage posts to focus on the need to eliminate systemic racism."
“This cable constitutes a blanket written authorization for calendar year 2021 from the Under Secretary for Management to display the BLM flag on the external-facing flagpole to any Chiefs of Mission who determine such a display is appropriate.”
The U.S. Embassy in Sarajevo heeded the call and unfurled a large BLM flag over the front of its building.
The U.S. Embassy in Athens draped the BLM flag across the front of its building on so that it completely covered the embassy’s official seal.
The Embassy in Madrid, Spain hung a large BLM flag from the building’s roof which cascaded down the front of the embassy.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken shared a video in which he echoed sentiments expressed in the leaked BLM flag memo.
“For the United States to be a credible force for human rights around the world, we have to face the realities of racism and hatred here at home. We can’t sweep our shortcomings under the rug or pretend they don’t exist. We need to face them openly and honestly. Even if that’s ugly.”

Give them a few more years … what else can they add to that one ?
Thank you senile, demented Jackass Joe and his Indian Ho. The Svengali regime teeters on....What a disgrace. We are the laughing stock of the world....
BLM is a terrorist organization used to launder money for the DNC. Everyone who supports them should tried for treason.
Disgusting.
Never bow and scrape to Marxist or those they’ve trained.
"Nahhhhhh!"
So now burn, loot, murder is the official gestapo....
May God damn the people who are pushing and enabling this.
Astonishing. Marxist banners at embassies world wide.
A blast from the past.
It must truly suck for Americans working in our State Department.
They are an international bad joke.
Of course, there are many lesbians, and worse in the State Department who don’t get the joke.
“For the United States to be a credible force for human rights around the world, we have to face the realities of racism and hatred here at home. We can’t sweep our shortcomings under the rug or pretend they don’t exist. We need to face them openly and honestly. Even if that’s ugly.”"
And yet there are several hundred political prisoners which have been in solitary confinement and possibly worse post January 6.
Then all the children gathered in the streets to celebrate and sing traditional African songs, passed down by oral tradition.
