A Black Lives Matter chapter founder in Minnesota has resigned, claiming that the organization isn’t concerned about helping black communities or helping improve the education quality in Minneapolis, according to a video published last week.
Rashard Turner, the founder of a Black Lives Matter chapter in neighboring St. Paul, said he started the branch in 2015 but became disillusioned roughly a year after becoming “an insider” within the left-wing organization, according to a video released by TakeCharge—a group that rejects various provisions promoted by Black Lives Matter, including critical race theory-linked claims that the United States is inherently racist.
“After a year on the inside, I learned they had little concern for rebuilding black families, and they cared even less about improving the quality of education for students in Minneapolis,” Turner said in the video.
“That was made clear when they publicly denounced charter schools alongside the teachers union. I was an insider in Black Lives Matter. And I learned the ugly truth. The moratorium on charter schools does not support rebuilding the black family. But it does create barriers to a better education for black children. I resigned from Black Lives Matter after a year and a half. But I didn’t quit working to improve black lives and access to a great education.”

No. He said he resigned in about mid-2016 or so.
He started in 2015, saw the light, then resigned ‘a year and a half later’. At least he was honest with himself about the corruption and didn’t just start asking for his own piece of the pie. That’s what usually happens in these top heavy non profits.
How do you learn the ugly truth when you were to stupid to see it in the first place.
Cults make a great stupid filter.
They seem to keep cleaning up their website with regard to the most offensive and obviously Marxist stuff; but what’s left is pretty egregious.
Bump
If he were really stupid, he would NOT have left BLM.
I don’t believe anything these commies say.
Useful idiots are so easily manipulated.
Worse than a cult. I don’t remember the Jim Jones cult burning, looting and murdering save one congressman and their own members.
I’ll drink to that!
Economics, taxes, foreign policy, infrastructure, education, have all been issues that Americans generally prioritize as concerns when polled. Since when did skin pigmentation and what should be the proper pronoun for a man in a dress, and which stereotyped identity group is the latest imagined victim of our system become overarching concerns force fed by the media on the American population as a replacement for the real issues facing this country. Are we now only polling academe, the media, congressional Democrats and the victim industry for issues of the day?

Better late then never. When someone tells you they are marxist, believe them. Marxism is evil.
