BLM is like any other fundraising organization, and many of my friends, whom might be deemed the “wokeist of the woke” are unhappy with the organization. Shawn King is another example of someone who grifted off the cause. Very funny comedian, Mateen Stewart encourages those who truly wish to help black people to donate to black colleges rather than to BLM. The org isn’t wrong about Chicago’s history of brutality, though. That’s the problem with the lack of criminal justice reform in this country. There’s a real problem and grifters abound when they can make a dollar off those of us who legitimately want to help.

I donate to the Thurgood Marshall College Fund (when I’m not broke AF), and you should too sometime. https://www.tmcf.org/

Also—- I know a lot of you have heard me say this before, ending our disastrous War on Drugs would do so much to help. We have more drugs around then ever before, and police can still use drugs as a way to end someone’s life. Breonna Taylor payed the price for the Drug War, as did thousands before her. I’m a fan of Justin Amash because he gets it, as do many reasonable Libertarians.
