The sinister agenda of the “Black Lives Matter” Movement
to destroy the traditional nuclear family is exposed in the article with
the title Black Lives Matter: "We
Are Trained Marxists" - Part I.
Click on this video to see a chilling account of the damage BLM's agenda has done already to black
children.
Below are key paragraphs from the article mentioned above:
Abolish
the Traditional Nuclear Family
In
its policy agenda, Black Lives Matter states that it is committed to abolishing
the traditional nuclear 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."
Karl
Marx and Friedrich Engels rejected the traditional family because, according to
them, the nuclear family, as an economic unit, sustains the capitalist system.
Engels wrote: "The care and education of the children becomes a public
affair; society looks after all children alike, whether they are legitimate or
not."
Many
experts have noted that African Americans need stronger, not weaker, families.
In March 1965, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, then an Assistant Secretary of Labor
under U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson, wrote a groundbreaking report, which
focused on the roots of black poverty in the United States. The report linked
the many problems plaguing African Americans — crime, joblessness, school
failure, out-of-wedlock births — to the breakdown of the traditional nuclear
family.
When
the Moynihan Report was written in 1965, 25% of black children in the United
States were born out of wedlock. Fifty years later, in 2015, more than 75% of
black children were born out of wedlock, according to the National Center for
Health Statistics.
Twenty
years after the Moynihan Report, Glenn Loury, the first black economist to earn
tenure at Harvard University, lauded Moynihan as a prophet:
"The
bottom stratum of the black community has compelling problems which can no
longer be blamed solely on white racism, and which force us to confront
fundamental failures in black society. The societal disorganization among poor
blacks, the lagging academic performance of black students, the disturbingly
high rate of black-on-black crime, and the alarming increase in early unwed
pregnancies among blacks now loom as the primary obstacles to black
progress."
Thomas
Sowell, an African American economist and social theorist opined that the
Moynihan Report of 1965 "may have been the last honest government report
on race." By contrast, African American civil rights activists criticized
Moynihan for "blaming the victim."
