Why this petition matters

Started by Crimson Cure

Black Lives Matter (BLM), a Black centric movement with political and social justice undertones, was formed in 2013 by three Black females.  This project was built on the tragic killing of Trayvon Martin a year earlier and the lack of accountability and justice when his killer was acquitted for murder. Upon the continued killing of Black men, Michael Brown and Eric Garner, the movement gained national recognition and momentum.

In 2020, immediately following the sickening and appalling killing of yet another Black man, George Floyd, BLM gained worldwide prominence and support.  The organization continues to lead campaigns and rallies against police brutality and systemic racism against the Black community in America, but in reality not benefitting the Black community.

Currently, BLM has amassed over $90 million dollars in 2020 alone primarily from the killing of Black Men, and a few Black women.  Yet, BLM positions themselves as advocates for the Black community, without any Black men in leadership, and without specific focus on combating violence against Black men.

Further, as a global organization in the US, UK, and Canada, all of which share different experiences in the historical and contemporary treatment and dehumanizing of Black men and cannot be compared to the ADOS experience in the US, they seek to the brutal treatment of Black men together to "eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on Black communities."  This seems to be contradictory, disingenuous, deceptive, and dangerous.

To date, BLM has garnered support of corporations and people globally resulting in over $90M of funding and support.  A significant amount of this money was used to purchase houses for the female founders, only for their personal gain while the Black community continues to suffer and countless heterosexual  Black men continue to die violently and prematurely.

Outrageously, Black men's faces, experiences, and death have been used as bait for defrauding the masses.  They collected money earmarked for helping victim's families for personal gain and diverted it for the advancement of the 3 Black women founders. Currently, there has been no positive change for the Black community or Black men.

This petition is a campaign against the self-serving actions of BLM, which operate at the complete exclusion of Black me, and without any genuine interest in the Black community and particularly the lives of Black men.

This campaign is seeking change for:

  1. Black men to become part of the BLM leadership
  2. Documentation that the money has gone to the people who were affected before BLM
  3. Demonstration of accountability for where the $90 million dollars went and ensure it was disseminated to Black communities.

Finally, to further illustrate the gross misappropriation of funds by BLMGNF, here's a link describing some of the details of how that money was misused.
