The Real News Network | June 25, 2020
The above video, A Short History of Black Lives Matter, recently resurfaced. It is from a 2015 Real News interview in which Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrice Cullors admits that she and her associate Alicia Garza are “trained Marxists.”
We actually do have an ideological frame. Myself and Alicia [Garza] are trained organizers. We are trained Marxists. . . .
“We are Black to me is both about a race that’s been constructed, but it’s also about a political statement. It’s a political framework. And I think it’s important as we are building out this movement for Black Liberation [emphasis added] that we in the Black Lives Movement allow for necessary debate to come up around how we use the term and who’s using the term, and when it’s used, and why it’s an important point to sort of build people together. And I think it’s specifically important when the U.S. is very clever at turning other groups White, right, and making them White. And we’ve seen that throughout history, when groups were not White and when the White power structure was threatened.”
