Black Lives Matter Protestors in D.C Shout, ‘Israel, We Know You, You Murder Children,’ ‘Palestinian Lives Matter’

[Geee]

As I’ve previously covered, there exist two very different things: the idea that the lives of black Americans matter — with which no voice in the ether is in disagreement — and also the organization called “Black Lives Matter,” which concerns many more things than the value of black lives.

 

From the BLM website:

We make space for transgender brothers and sisters to participate and lead.

We are self-reflexive and do the work required to dismantle cisgender privilege and uplift Black trans folk, especially Black trans women who continue to be disproportionately impacted by trans-antagonistic violence.

We build a space that affirms Black women and is free from sexism, misogyny, and environments in which men are centered.

…

We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable.

We foster a queer‐affirming network. When we gather, we do so with the intention of freeing ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking, or rather, the belief that all in the world are heterosexual (unless s/he or they disclose otherwise).
