Founder Of BLM Saint Paul Quits After Learning ‘Ugly Truth’ That They Don’t Care About Black People
National File ^ | May 30, 2021 | by ANDREW WHITE

The founder of Black Lives Matter in Saint Paul, Minnesota resigned from the organization after discovering an “ugly truth.”

Rashad Turner, the founder of BLM in Saint Paul, resigned after a little over one year, as he realized that the leftist organization had “little concern for rebuilding black families.” He continued, “My mother wasn’t able to take care of me, so I was raised by my grandparents. They told me that if I was going to change my life for the better, education was the answer. So, I worked hard in school. I got into Hamline University, and earned a college degree, the first in my family. Then I went on to earn a master’s in education from St. Mary’s University of Minnesota. I am living proof that no matter your start in life, quality education is a pathway to success,” said Turner.

“In 2015 I was a founder of Black Lives Matter in St. Paul. I believed the organization stood for exactly what the name implies, black lives do matter,” explained Turner. “However, after a year on the inside, I learned they have little concern for rebuilding black families, and they cared even less about improving the quality of education for students in Minneapolis.”

“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,” revealed Turner in a video titled The Truth Revealed about BLM.

Huh. The local media appears to be totally ignoring this story.

Of course not. BLM is composed mostly of white leftists, with a few token blacks to serve as a public face. White leftists don't give a crap about rebuilding black families - black people are simply a tool white leftists use to wage political war on other white people.

It's called acting White, not allowed in black culture.

They don’t care? Say it ain’t so. They were in it for the money and power all along? Didn’t see that one coming.

Yes, I know, this story is about the local St. Paul who woke up to the fact that the national organization was corrupt.
I was referring to the national founder (self professed marxist) who spent millions on properties in white areas.

The real ugly truth is that black lives don’t matter and this organization really makes it worse.

Wait, so this guy is telling us that BLM was not really into helping black people and making their lives matter, but instead was a tactic to get money, political power, and mansions for a few opportunists while furthering usual Democrat agendas? Who among us could have ever guessed such a thing?

He also needs to see that with leftist, the issue is never the issue; the only issue is the revolution.
