The memo allows US diplomats to fly the Black Lives Matter flag outside of embassies
The Department of State under President Biden issued guidance to all "Diplomatic and Consular posts" encouraging official displays of support for Black Lives Matter (BLM) on the one-year anniversary of George Floyd’s murder on May 25 and beyond, according to a new report.
According to a leaked memo from an anonymous State Department source, the department wrote that it "supports the use of the term ‘Black Lives Matter’ in messaging content" as well as in speeches and foreign diplomatic engagements on May 25 "and beyond."
The memo allows U.S. diplomats to fly the Black Lives Matter flag outside of embassies. Fox News verified the authenticity of the memo first reported by Human Events, a conservative American political news and analysis newspaper and website.
Specifically, the memo acts as an "authorization" for agency higher-ups to "display the BLM flag on the external-facing flagpole to any Chiefs of Mission who determine such a display is appropriate in light of local conditions."
In a statement to Fox News on Tuesday, a spokesperson for the State Department said the agency does not "comment on the authenticity or veracity of allegedly leaked documents" as a general matter.
Similar to the BLM banner, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken also previously authorized embassies to fly the LGBTQ pride flag from May 17 through the end of June in recognition of Pride Month celebrations, reversing a Trump-era policy.

Unclear if this was just for the anniversary of Floyd’s death or it’s ongoing. Not sure I like the idea of flying private organizations flags, one supportive of terror groups like Hamas sends a bad message. Or perhaps the message Biden wants to send.
Burning Looting Mobs now have official government approval.
But not the POW/MIA flag.....................
Plantation owner tell the help he’s thinking of them.
gf suicide?
In case anyone still doubts we have Marxists in control of our corrupt government.
How embarrassing to me as an American. So was the flying of an LGBT rainbow flag.
Why not add the Red Hammer and Sickle and the Chinese Red Flag you paid for Communist Moron? BLM is a Marxist organization by their own public admission. Aiding and comforting our sworn enemies is TREASON!

My cousin sent me a pic of a BLM banner in the window of our embassy in Greece. This was dated yesterday. I guess it is comforting that we are showing solidarity with all of the black population of Greece.

Perhaps we’re showing support for BLM’s communist roots. I believe Greece still has a more active communist party than we do.
Remind me again, have we heard of this outfit?
Oh goodie....can we fly the Stars and Bars next month?...
I’ve never doubted it.
In my area the school district got three teachers from Jamaica and two from Africa. They got fussed at for telling the black students in the schools to stay away from their children.
We have been witnessing the end of America over the past 5 months. And our soldiers died for this?????
Was watching the discovery Channel last night- they have gone full blown floyd worship on that station now
