There is a difference between protestors and the leaders of the Black Lives Matter organization
WASHINGTON, DC, June 20, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) ― A black civil rights leader has stated that the black community will be harmed by the goals of the Black Lives Matter organization.
Niger Innis, the National Chairman of the Congress of Racial Equality, told EWTN host Raymond Arroyo last night that he distinguishes the Black Lives Matter (BLM) organizational leadership from most of the protesters. The majority of the protesters, he said, have their heart and soul “in the right place.” However, there is a difference between them and the leaders who run the Black Lives Matter organization.
“Alicia Garza says she is a Marxist,” Innis reported, referring to one of the founders of the organization Black Lives Matter. Innis noted that defunding the police is “just at the beginning” of what the BLM organization wants.
He brought Arroyo’s attention to two planks of the BLM’s manifesto. The first brags of attacking the traditional family.
“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,” it reads.
The second plank Innis pointed to underscored the LGBT ideology of the movement: “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).”
Innis said that these ideas do “nothing” to help black people in America.
“These agenda items [show] a Marxist mentality that…does nothing for the black community,” he stated.
“It does nothing to advance racial equality. [Causing] the disruption of the nuclear family is a clear and present danger to the black community.”
Fatherlessness, Innis and Arroyo agreed, represents a crisis for all races. The civil rights leader said that disrupting the family is “going to hold black people back.”
Regarding Black Lives Matter’s most famous goal, defunding police services, Innis said that the black community does not actually want less police.
“They want less bad police,” he emphasized and said that there are “bad apples” in every profession. Innis told Arroyo that the black community wants more police, more police engagement, more police intervention, and more partnership with the police.
