Former BLM activist goes scorched earth on ‘scam’ group, insists systemic racism in US isn’t real
NY Post ^ | 5/14/26 | Patrick Reilly

A former Black Lives Matter activist-turned conservative influencer blasted the social justice organization as a “scam” — and insisted that Democrats are the party of “racism and violence.”

Xaviaer DuRousseau, 29, revealed that did a complete 180 from his liberal upbringing during the 2020 George Floyd riots as he realized that the movement was a money-grab and that he was indoctrinated.

“Once I started looking at the conservative side of the argument, I started realizing, oh, wait, socialism has literally never worked. BLM has always been a scam, and the Democratic Party has always been the party of racism and violence,” DuRousseau said on former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines’ podcast Wednesday.

“I have just been drinking the Kool-Aid because this was the indoctrination that was put upon me from the age of a little child,” the PragerU influencer added.

DuRousseau, a former student activist who voted for Bernie Sanders and helped organize BLM demonstrations during the summer of 2020, said things changed after George Floyd’s death when the group and protests exploded nationally.

“After George Floyd’s death … I just started seeing people exploiting the movement so much and I started realizing how performative a lot of the activism was,” he told Gaines.

“And it was like these white Antifa members saying that they were stealing all of these shoes and TVs in the name of justice for reparations,” he continued. “It’s like there’s so many layers of why this just wasn’t making sense to me.”

The entire modern “civil rights” movement is all one big giant scam. We are ending it all. Merit is going to be all that matters.

“systemic racism in US isn’t real”

No sht Sherlock......the accusation that White people are inherently racist is no doubt THE biggest falsehood ever perpetrated on this country.

With covid shots being safe and effective running second.

One down. A few more to go.


And this illustrates why we each need to engage just one person around us.

We have to know what conservatism is to sell it. Print this out. hang it on your wall. Mark it up with an old fashioned pencil and give to others. read it every day, after you read you Bible.

I am glad that this guy is making the arguments that he is making but focus on the message, not the man. We have seen way too many times that these “influencers” build up a brand by taking conservative positions and then go off the deep end or turn out to be doing it for $$$$$$. Then the base feels betrayed. This is where the Dems have an advantage. We talk about how easy it is for the Dems to throw people under the bus. Its because the Dems are focused on the agenda. When Kamala is useful, use her. Once she isn’t, get rid of her. Same with Bill Clinton. So its great that this guy “sees the light” and is “going scorched earth” on BLM, but focus on the message, not the man.

Black Lives Matter is a subversive organization dedicated to the elimination of what was America. All of BLM and every single person associated with the faux organization are defacto American enemies that are a greater danger than China or Russia or Iran.

Whining about race when the whole of BLM is totally racist is a travesty. BLM must be obliterated

——1 Timothy 6:10——

Is there really any such Bible verse?

“Is there really any such Bible verse?”... A very well known verse.

“For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil...”

It’s utterly amazing that liberals can’t see this new age civil rights push is a grift. Are they that stoned? Or just that stupid?

My cynical side says this grifter is setting himself up again to grift. Get ready for a new podcast, book, or a career in television punditry
