Quote:We are expansive. We are a collective of liberators who believe in an inclusive and spacious movement. We also believe that in order to win and bring as many people with us along the way, we must move beyond the narrow nationalism that is all too prevalent in Black communities.
It seems to me that some members of this forum are against having allies, even though the mission statement of the movement is all inclusive. Allies, after all, should not be turned away or dismissed in any way. Refusing an ally is merely the selfishness of pride clouding reason, after all.
Those so called "allies" for the most part, are there to co-opt and draw the spotlight to their own agenda.
To be clear, they chose to celebrate juneteenth by putting a blm fist on a transgender flag... what does slaves being freed have to do with LBGT? Besides a juneteenth flag exists, why not use that?
I don't have any idea why this video is referring to the Transgender flag as the BLM flag, at this point BLM is nothing more than an LBGT organization.
