BLM: Black Landlords Matter
Some of us, or lefties anyway, imagine Black Lives Matter (BLM) to be a charity something like the Red Cross or Brotherhood of St Laurence but without the op shops, its founders akin to Florence Nightingale or Albert Schweizer. As Wikipedia puts it with a typical Left narrative slant, “The movement comprises many views and a broad array of demands but they center on criminal justice reform.”
Actually, the founders are Patrisse Cullors, Alicia Garza and Opal Tometi, all by their own description “trained Marxists” and .

Ms Cullors was educated for years by Eric Mann, a member of the domestic terrorist organization Weather Underground. She has named wanted cop-killer Assata Shakur (real name: Joanne Chesimard) as a “leader” who “inspires” her.
