Is Black Lives Matter Just Another Campaign That Feminists Have Appropriated?

Just read their website...seems like it couldn't be clearer.  

Even though it is young black men who are the largest single victim demographic of violence in the USA, and even though it almost always seems to be the death of a black man at the hands of police that prompts their activism...at their core, they advocate feminism ideas like centering the voices of women and non-binary people, and the destruction of the nuclear family.The destruction of the nuclear family has been a major problem for black men who are, for various reasons, excluded from the lives of their children...and statistically when children grow up without fathers, their outcomes tend to be worse.

    Most “social justice” movements have adopted the same basic cultural Marxist victim mentality argument.   They all argue they are oppressed by another element of society and therefore society owes them.   

    This of course doesn’t hold up to scrutiny.  We have many privileges for women, they are not oppressed.  The police shoot more whites than blacks.  There is no systematic racism against blacks by police, just cherry picked instances.

    Its been clear for years. Members of the original BLM spoke out many times it was hijacked by the far left/intersectional feminism and left.

    There is a problem with White feminists ignoring the needs of Black women.  However, there are also anti-racist White feminists and there are Black feminists.  People who are marginalised have interests in common and need to stick together for their own and each others' sake.  Almost all victims of transphobic murder are Black women.

    Plenty of other agendas have piled onto this, not just feminists.

    If what you're saying is correct then yes but they're both just tools of the Left.

    "Is Black Lives Matter Just Another Campaign That Feminists Have Appropriated?"

    Its like the anonymous below me has indicated.  All of these "progressive" (regressive) groups have been appropriated into cultural Marxism.  That's why they all read from the same script.  They all promote the newer versions of feminism, Black advocacy (BLM), civil Rights advocacy/enforcement (antifa), LGBT issues, open borders and so on by decrying "oppression" from Whites, conservatives, patriots, cis-gendered, males.

    The reason it looks like feminism is appropriating BLM is because there are greater numbers of White female feminists than there are Blacks in BLM.  But it's all the same cultural Marxism promoted the exact same way for one standard of a new idea of society that is not founded on our Western civilization model of free speech, and freedoms for all common people.

    If you look at every instance of feminism today in the public, you will see very little if any women's advocacy, and pretty much all cultural Marxist ideology advancement.
