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.

A great American. My Irish ancestors were slaves who built most of the railroads in the northeast. I’m not asking for nothing!
Educated at the Sharpton & Jackson Community College with a degree in Self Pity and a minor in Delusion!
Ya…the check is in the mail…just wait for it.
Maelinda Seawell Slavery is a part of history of the entire world. There IS NO society, nationality, group, culture, race or ethnicity that did NOT participate at one time or another in history. For the purposes of this discussion, we were talking about the early United States and my statistics included the Dutch immigrants. My original statement stands, the percentage of people in the early US that owned slaves (including the Dutch) was a very small percentage of a much smaller population and the overwhelming majority of whites in the US today have no direct ancestral connection to slavery.
Dave Gregory You say “Duh” but so many people just “don’t get it”!
More terrorists. You blm assholes need to shut up.
I like your number better Alan Swafford. Maybe the other 1.2% were up North because there were slaves above the Potomac River.
Steven Vanwormer her ancestors enslaved the tribes they fought with.
Btw, the northern army that fought to end slavery, were white. Should the ancestors of those people have to pay also?
Prove it!
