Black Lives Matter has been criticized since its inception for its lack of clear policy goals. Instead, they’ve resorted to violence, vandalism, and chaos to make their point — as unclear as that may have been.
In the aftermath of the Dallas police massacre in 2016, two policies emerged from the controversial protest group. They want to totally disarm, demilitarize, defund, and disband the police, and they want reparations from white Americans.
One Black Lives matter organizer advocated for the latter policy point in an essay published in Wear Your Voice Magazine. In the piece, she demanded “housing, transportation, food, clothes, free space for meetings and work space; we need laptops, cell phones, encrypted systems for communication, solar power and LAND. ”
Why those systems of communications need to be encrypted is anyone’s guess — but it seems fairly obvious.

“Step 2: Get Reparations paid to validate America was ‘founded by illegitimate means'” …an illegitimate Government is in no position to order anything
I wonder what the statute of limitations is on a claim against something that was wrong but legal…

you ain’t gettin’ jack diddly squat so sit down and shut up – better yet get a real job.
It’s a SHAME that since Obama we are now going backwards in time and all the HATE on the LEFT and BLM. OUR founding fathers were not perfect but then we had come a long way and learned from our mistakes until now! KKK was started by Dem’s and Hillarys Mentor was a KKK mamber! This is getting way out of hand! This country was a FREE country but what I now see it’s becomming aLEFT WING do as I say not as I do!!!!!
She must be a racist because she doesn’t ask for money for the Irish slaves..
Go back to Africa dope
We already do pay reparations…It’ called WELFARE…
Not one of these people suffered through slavery. They haven’t suffered at all. They have had everything handed to them. Those that grew up in the 50’s and 60’s actually faced racism at it’s worst yet, you hear little from them. They know that things are much better today than they were 50 years ago as racism has been declining significantly since the 70’s. No one alive today had anything to do with slavery so to say reparations should be paid is absurd. Grow up and take responsibility for yourselves and stop expecting someone else to take care of you. Every race on this planet has been enslaved at some point in the past and were treated just as badly as blacks yet, blacks are the only race to demand to be compensated. Should we give out reparations should those black people that had ancestors that owned slaves be excluded? How about those that had ancestors that sold slaves? Should they too be excluded? Holding grudges against people that had nothing to do with past injustices, especially when the injustices were not done to them personally, is totally ridiculous and pathetic. Again Grow Up Children. You will find that life is hard and no one ever gets everything they want. Handling this like an adult and getting over your false sense of victim hood is the first step towards growing up sane and well adjusted.
How about suck my$#%&!@*b*tch
