How Black Lives Matter does NOT Represent the Dream of Martin Luther King Jr.

Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream that people would be judged by the color of their character and not by the color of their skin.  The character of Black Lives Matter as an organization is one that denies black excellence and defends black criminals.  The greatest form of racism is the systematic attack on Black Excellence.  This type of racism is insidious in the way it affects Black people too, where Black people reject Black Excellence to promote the lowest of their people in society as the standard.  Black Lives Matter has memorialized a low-life George Floyd as a Black hero while ignoring the real racism of systematic attacks on Black Excellence.  Black Lives Matter was silent when Bill Cosby was unjustly put in jail and his legacy as America’s Dad was removed from television history. Black Lives Matter was silent when Michael Jackson was put on trial twice for fallacious accusations while the media relentlessly fought to sully Michael’s name.

Black Lives Matter is the biggest racist of all in the way Black Lives Matter refuses to protect Black Excellence yet defends low-lifes.  In a historic election, Virginia elected its first Black female Lt. Governor Winsome Sears.  However, this victory has been largely ignored by Black Lives Matter and the mainstream media due to the fact that she is part of the Republican Party.  The Democratic Party has pushed the narrative that all Republicans are racists and that the Democrats are the progressive party who supports women and minorities.  However, for a party which claims to support Black people, the Democrats favored vaccine mandates in spite of the history of the Tuskegee Experiments where the government purposefully injected Black men with syphilis. 

For the Democratic Party to scream “My body my choice,” for years reveals the absolute hypocrisy of their support in the mandated injection of a vaccine against a person’s will.  The Democratic Party’s support of Abortion also ignores the fact that Abortion was designed as part of the eugenics movement to stop people considered “defective stock”—Black people—from reproducing.  Abortion clinics are intentionally set up in predominately Black areas, disproportionately targeting Black women where even though Black people only make up for 13% of the population over a third of Abortions are performed on Black women.  How can Black Lives Matter when Democratic politicians support Abortion as an institution that kills 38% of Black people in the womb?

There are some extreme pro-life views that ignore rape and incest from the Republican Party that are very troubling.  However, instead of polarizing two extreme political views on pro-life or pro-choice would it be possible to look at the victories that have been achieved in this country such as the numerous examples of Black Excellence like the Virginia Lt. Governor Winsome Sears and engage in a civil discourse about Abortion?  Would you be able to walk through the shoes of a rape survivor who had to confront pregnancy, abortion, and politics?  Natalie’s Abortion, tells the unshared story of a woman who has to deal with a rape related pregnancy, abortion, and the constant bombardment of society’s unsolicited opinion about her decision.  The story shows the ultimate triumph of a rape survivor as she finds her own voice and takes the power back in her life.  Natalie’s Abortion was censored on Amazon, but is now available for viewing on Vimeo.  Sharing our support for survivors—no matter what our political belief or religious background—can make or break a community’s ability to better process opinions on abortion, and address what they perceive as right or wrong behavior instead of forcing moral opinions that can trigger trauma for someone who has experienced sexual assault or a rape related pregnancy. These are tough subjects, but my intention is to share a story of survival that can uplift everyone and shift the conversation towards justice for all women.  You too, can be part of this movement by simply watching Natalie’s Abortion on Vimeo and sharing it with your friends.  Thank you for your support.
