A lot of people that I respect are donating to BLM all of a sudden, like Michael Jordan. I wish they were donating to organizations that work toward re-establishing families and encouraging Moms and Dads to form strong family units.

BLM .... " We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable. We foster a queer‐affirming network. When we gather, we do so with the intention of freeing ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking, or rather, the belief that all in the world are heterosexual (unless s/he or they disclose otherwise)."

Jordan is worried about his brand after the 10 Part Love fest from ESPN. His decision to not be politically or socially active is coming back to bite him a little bit. These donations are PR Damage control and prevention

Two things here:

1) There are absolutely some tenants of beliefs from the Black Lives Matter organization that are anti-Christian. The one quoted here is one of them.

2) Jordan isn’t donating to that organization necessarily. He’s donating to organizations “assisting black people with social justice and greater access to education.” There are tons of great organizations doing those things that aren’t BLM.

Read some of MJ's is going to BLM. Donations would better serve minority issues elsewhere. Jordan is way to smart not to know that. BLM doesn't seem to place much value on the traditional family. Seems like minorities are always being used by someone. Wish a real civil rights leader would set forward, like the late Dr King.

Sad then. His brand is damaged with me.
Not sure you’re in the Jordan Brand target demo.

Let the silly season continue. When the left showed up at the Kavanaugh hearings (or any hearings) decked out in Handsmaid outfits I laughed because they obviously didn’t get it. Now, I know they didn’t. Because it was in Gilead that statues were removed, oaths of loyalty demanded and history erased. Which is what we see liberal America doing now

and conservatives do a horrible job of actually sticking with some sort of boycott. they'll be mad for a spell but eventually they like X product too much to stay away forever.

I'll like to add that BLM and some other groups are known Marxist training organizations as admitted by their "founders." Where the funding is coming from will not be investigated of course (since some people don't care). I wonder if people realized that Marx was a known racist who would see most of them (black, gay, etc)as inferior and need to be eradicated (as margaret sanger explained it). That's why these groups are supported by the left because that's where these ideas has and are still supported mostly (not stated the Republican party is better, but the democrats mostly aligned with racial division and Eugenics). It amazes me that people want to post about racial issues when their support groups and parties have and are still established most of these issues. If you look at where most of these police issues are occurring, it's mostly happening in Democratic control cities. They can erase as much history as they'll like, but the method of division through discrimination or segregation has evolved and added now being used as benefits to the American people. Ask people who lived in the Soviet Union and sattelites states how life was in statism and they would say that the U.S. is already in that direction.

People already knew about this for a long period of time. This is from 1969, where these tactics have and are still used in politics and other platform while the American people buy into it and react is chaotic ways:



P.S. Wikipedia said this guy is a conspiracy theory, so automatically anything he says is viable because they know what's best for you!(Communist much? :lol: )

They both leads to statism, do it doesnt matter which direction a system goes. Of that the case, they wouldn't have called themselves the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic. In reality it was just another form of Feudalism but wit some different word changes. It's all contradictory, which is my point.

So do you then think China is a Republic instead of a Socialist state? I mean they are called the People's Republic of China, must mean they are a Republic!
The Soviets was Socialist with the Community Party having the power. In China, which is more open as they were under Most, has free market influence but under management by the community party. Socialism leads to Communism, which the Manifesto admits is used for basically manipulation to bring the end results.
I believe a person who lived and breathed(indoctrination) that ideology would know more about it than you and I.
