In left-wing Hollywood, even sharing a negative article about Black Lives Matter is now enough to get you cancelled.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association – which organizes the annual Golden Globes awards — has expelled one of its long-standing members after he emailed colleagues an article from a conservative publication that described Black Lives Matter as “a racist hate movement.”
Philip Berk is an eight-term past president of the Globes organization and a 44-year member. “Effective immediately, Phil Berk is no longer a member of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association,” the HFPA’s board said in a statement.
This comes after the LA Times reported on a leaked email from Berk sharing the article, which described BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors as a “self-proclaimed ‘trained Marxist.’”
The Times identified the article as coming from Frontpage, the news site run by the David Horowitz Freedom Center. “BLM Goes Hollywood,” analyzed the increasingly close ties between BLM leaders and the entertainment industry, which has showered them with lucrative production deals.
The article criticized BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors for her recent real estate acquisitions, including the purchase of a $1.4-million abode in Topanga Canyon a year after “race rioters burned buildings and terrorized communities.”
Summarizing the article, the L.A. Times omitted supporting evidence that would have backed Frontpage’s claim that Cullors is a “trained Marxist.”
As Breitbart News reported, Cullors spoke about her background in a 2015 interview with Real News Network.
“Myself and Alicia [Garza] in particular are trained organizers,” Cullors said in the interview. “We are trained Marxists. We are super-versed on, sort of, ideological theories.”
Alicia Garza is another co-founder of the BLM movement.

They’re turning on themselves.
“Freedom of speech”.
I’m old enough to remember it.
No free speech or thought. Thought crimes. Borg.
The truth hurts.
It is a racist hate movement that currently gets to dictate the direction this country is going in.
Another reason not to watch.
In our current society, truth is the enemy and logic is a menace.
When Cullors was called out for the Beverly Hills mansion didn’t she say something to the effect I’m still a Marxist but just bought the house for the family?

Another quaint old saying was “I do not agree with what you have to say, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it.”
The fascist left has replaced that last saying with “I do not agree with what you have to say. So I will ruin you, your reputation, and your career.”
Hollywood doesn’t deal in reality.
The truth hurts.
Well, this guy doesn’t exactly sound like ‘one of them’
ideologically.
I think he gets it, and I doubt there are many others in that
org that do.
funny what telling the truth can do, and what happens.
Ammo is in short supply, not because it isn’t being manufactured. Just saying.
Telling the truth in wartime is a crime.
The country is headed for war or some stars will leave and follow the Constitution. The insurrection that occurred on November 4,2020 at 0300 has even been proven true.
Today’s left make the Nazi Brown Shirts look like pikers!
TRUTH WILL NOT BE SPOKEN HERE!!!!
