BTW...
“Whether they do it knowingly as Marxists or unknowingly as Useful Idiots, the result is the same.”

This is true. These Useful Idiots have rarely visited the BLM site, and even fewer are aware of their mission statement. I have often pointed it out and they perform all manner of contortions to explain away what “they really mean” despite the clear verbiage.

But I have a different take on what Mr Beatty repeatedly states. To justify BLM rather than ALM, you have to accept the premise “that black people’s lives are relatively undervalued in the US“ in recent history. I don’t. At least not ant more than any other life. Rather, BLM “trained Marxists” need the cover the uninitiated Useful Idiots provide. Having their catchphrase replaced or altered separates the true BLM from those that possibly might be of purer heart.

Yes.

To the Marxists at Black Lives Matter, black grievance is a tool for Marxist ends.

They no doubt believe they are killing two birds with one stone, serving two masters for the price of one, Marx and the war against the country that once enslaved them, but in reality, they are only serving one master, and one master alone.

Marx and his ideological progeny.

While I mildly object to the verbiage, (I find the English language is replete with a far more effectual array of choices than the cruder sort exercised here; and you as an author, I feel, would of all people be well equipped to decisively employ it), I heartily agree with your overall highlight of Obama’s falsehoods.

You say crude, I say pithy.

Every famous biracial person in America identifies as black.

A very inconvenient fact to reconcile with the leftist mantra of systemic racism.

We may, in fact, have systemic racism, but against the paleface.

Oh, and to further brighten your day, BLM is a 501(c)(3).

The problem with all lives matter is the realization that the lives of a handful of black criminals really don’t matter and are in fact harmful and detrimental to America.

A living America is much more important than the deaths of a few black perpetual criminals

Oh, I knew that, which as you point out irritates me even further.

Which is another point that makes me madder than hell as you expected it might-the involvement of non-profits such as churches in political activity. I live near a "church" that looks like this and has for the last five or six years:

It makes me hopping mad they can do this and be tax exempt. I drove by it recently, and there were young, high school age girls jumping up and down with car wash signs, looking for all the world as if they were raising money for a cheerleading squad or a softball team, but it was to raise money for Black Lives Matter.

Insanity. Those tax-exempt laws should be overhauled.

How about the ivies with tax-exempt status, sitting on millions in endowments that they wouldn’t dream of wasting on hiring competent faculty. They don’t have to with the Saudis funding the Death to the Great Satan departments. Gawd only knows what China is buying and how much. Given four more years, President Trump would ferret out that filth.

You may be right. In the future I'll try not to use the term "Obama".
