    She's basically reading off this page: https://blacklivesmatter.com/what-we-believe/

    They explicitly state they are for the advancement of the LGBTQ+ community. They want to help black women as well, but also state they're against men led households, the nuclear family, and really the things black people need most right now. Men and fathers are not mentioned once on the page.

    "We are guided by the fact that all Black lives matter, regardless of actual or perceived sexual identity, gender identity, gender expression, economic status, ability, disability, religious beliefs or disbeliefs, immigration status, or location"

    A shame really considering so many young black males don’t have a proper father figure in their lives

    They got it completely backwards

    They need to turn BLM into “get your f***ing ass up and register to vote and then actually vote”

    Not just talking about blacks in America but the movement in general has such little political discussion around it. Youth in general need to vote more

    i grew up in a single parent household and see them as something undesirable in society, not sure how that is bait.

    i asked a simple question because i dont read tons of feminist lit and am unfamiliar w criticisms of the "nuclear family" concept.

    if youre gonna come at me with some f*** s*** over legitimate confusion dont bother answering.

    I was talking about the person you were quoting, not you, apologies

    BLM has become more than a single organization so I can't agree. The people protesting, donating to black owned businesses and trying to unlearn whitewashed history aren't on some anti-back male agenda. I haven't watched the whole video, but the idea that these 3 women are in control of BLM is just incorrect at this point imo. There's been many people who support BLM making positive changes.

    Sometimes people create something and it ends up taking a life on its own. I haven't researched it, but if the people who started it are one some anti-black male s*** then that should be called out, but that doesn't mean the rest of the movement has the same agenda.

    The lack of male representation in a movement that is supposed to uplift black people IS an attack on us.

    Black women have been carrying black men politically. Voter turnout among black women is higher than black men, which leads me to believe they are more involved when it comes to social issues. And then when there is a male voice like Deray, he gets a bunch of hate.
