As politicians have taken the time to paint BLACK LIVES MATTER on city streets, and as major sports organizations such as the NBA have taken the time to place BLACK LIVES MATTER on their official uniforms and even the court in the name of criminal justice reform, I thought it was only appropriate to look further into this group, even more deeply than my initial review HERE.
This group has managed to raise millions if not billions of dollars through their intermediary ActBlue, which funds many liberal and even anti-American causes. Black Lives Matter have held the business community at large subject to them, causing some of them to massively fund their organization, while at the same time promoting anti-capitalist values and schemes. They have also promoted "White guilt" shaming many White people into the belief that they should be ashamed of being White, and that because of their heritage, they owe the community, especially Black people, penence in the form of either physical or social repairation.
I thought since leaders and founders of BLM are freely giving information, as I find that they do not hide their intent, that it may be good for me to rehearse what the world and religious community, especially the Christian community, is really facing when it comes to BLM and their purpose.
Beyond Marxism
In a 2015 interview on behalf of the Fowler Museum of UCLA, displaying an artistic display entitled "The Prayer For The Runner" by Patrisse Cullors, the following statements were made:
"When we call out our ancestors, we call them out for specific purposes"..."And when you understand how tremendous this man was (George Floyd) then you understand why the world is cracking open" ~ Melina Abdullah
Now, BLM organizers and leaders often in their rallies call out the names of those who have died and or been murdered. Often they demand individuals to "say their names". This is a spiritual practice contingent upon the idea that people who have dies aka: ancestors, have the ability to help, or be present if called upon during certain times. So during these marches and rallies, adherents take this ancesteral call seriously and specifically. BLM leaders understand their gatherings to be spiritual gatherings, with a spiritual purpose and they associate with these "spirit beings" to accomplish their piurpose.
Yes, BLM leaders are "trained Marxists", but what they espouse is beyond Marxism. Marxism is merely one tool at their disposal for political, social and economic change and upheaval. The real purpose and directive is spiritual and the battle is for the spirits, hearts and minds of the people.
Don't believe me? You'll hear it in the video for yourself, but this is what Ms. Abdullah said:
"...and it took almost a year for me to realize that this movement (BLM) is much more than a racial and social justice movement, at its core it is a spiritual movement. Because we're literally standing on spilled blood. Right? And you can't pretend that work that's just like some organizing work, y'u-know that's some serious stuff right? ~ Melina Abdullah
She is not alone in her sentiments. Ms. Cullors said this:
"I think that's not just for us, I think so many leaders, and so many organizers, are deeply engaged in pretty important spiritual practices. I don't think I could do this work without that. I don't think I could do it, as long as I've done it consistently, like if I didn't do that it would be antithetical to this work." ~ Patrisse Cullors
Please let it be laid to rest that BLM movement is not a spiritual movement. Whether its adherents admit to it or not, the founders of the movement and the agenda associate with it, claim that BLM is a spiritual movement and cannot be otherwise divorced from its spiritual root of Ancient African ancestry as found principally in the West African religion of Youroba, which is a polytheistic religion.
DEFUND The Police or Merely REALLOCATE
There has been all kinds of contorversy over what this group means when they speak of defunding the police. The NEWS media have gone way out of the way to redefine "defund" and although Presidential Candidate "Bunker" Joe Biden has said he agrees with defunding the police, (before he said he disagrees with defunding the police) the media invariably end up deceiving the public into believing that "defund" really mean "reappropriation" of funds to another purpose within the police authority.
However, the TRUTH, as you will hear, is that when BLM leaders say "DEFUND" they mean exactly what they say, ABOLISH, GET RID OF AND REMOVE the police alltogether. This is what Patrisse Cullors said in this interview when discussinng this issue:
"Yes and when we say defund, we literally mean abolish" ~ Patrisse Cullors
So far be it from me/us to define for these ladies what they mean and or intend. And the media and political figures being what they are should not add insult to injury with further redefinition and taking control of the narrative from those promoting the narrative. They mean what they say, and they say what they mean.
Examine the video for yourself and decide if this organization is one worth painting the streets for or worth supporting. I would contend that ANY church, supporting this organization financially or physically IS NOT upholding any biblical cause, but are supporting leaders of polytheistic religion and those who promote idolatry and false god worship. However, if you do, that is your choice!
In this video, I believe Ms. Cullors mentions "pouring libation" for individuals who have passed. This is also an ANE practice. Tupac coined this practice in his song "Pur out a little liquor" in 1994. This practice invokes the spirit of the dead to not only fellowship, but channel their intentions through them that are living and present. In other words, this practice seeks to open a spiritual dimension for a person to be used by the "spirit" present at the time.
