Black Lives Matter is an honorable movement and is in no way racist

    White privilege. That's what happens when we give judges individual discretion. And people don't believe it even exists.

    Eh, I think BLM will ebb and flow. Cops have to be somewhat frightened now in fear of random retaliation, so I'm betting they will be more civil, for awhile, especially when there is no camera

    But you're right on weak leadership. Someone needs to step up though. My own mother told me she'd disown me if I ever brought home a black woman when I was like 14. Racism is very alive. I find it ironic now because she married a Greek. "So oooooh. ..You're a racist huh?"

    this seems to be the biggest of the BLM threads

    BLM-linked activist admits conning donors to fund her lavish lifestyle

    https://nypost.com/2025/09/23/us-ne...-conning-donors-to-fund-her-lavish-lifestyle/

    excerpt:

    A once-celebrated Boston social activist has pleaded guilty to defrauding donors — including Black Lives Matter — out of thousands of dollars that she used as a personal piggy bank.

    Monica Cannon-Grant, 44, pleaded guilty Monday to 18 counts of fraud-related crimes that she committed with her late husband while operating their Violence in Boston (VIB) activists group, according to the US Attorney’s Office in Massachusetts.

    The activist scammed money — including $3,000 from a BLM group — while claiming it was to help feed children and run protests like one in 2020 over the murder of George Floyd and police violence.

    Cannon-Grant also conned her way into getting $100,000 in federal pandemic-related unemployment benefits — which she used to pay off her personal auto loan and car insurance policy.

    ***
    Cannon-Grant’s husband, Clark Grant, who was also federally charged in the case, was killed in a motorcycle crash in Easton, Massachusetts, in March 2023 and the charges against him were dropped.
