“We disrupt
the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each
other as extended families and ‘villages’ the collective care for one another,
to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable.”
First
of all, notice that their stated goal is to “disrupt,” which implies that black
people as a whole actually desire the overthrow of the “Western-prescribed
nuclear family structure.” This assumption
should require polling every single
mother as to whether they are glad about the absence of their husbands in the family
challenge of raising of children. An ACT
Rochester survey indicates that 75% of black families lack a father (figures
for other people groups include Hispanic 58%, White families, 37%, and Asian
families, 21%,).[1] The obvious answer is that single mothers in
any culture are crying out for a companion to help in the raising of children. Notice
also that the ‘village’ BLM seeks to create does NOT include fathers on the
same list as includes mothers and children.
It is also very telling that in the second bullet point (above), “trans”
people are encouraged to lead while in this case, by contrast, fathers are
sidelined.

We foster a
queer-affirming network. When we gather,
we do so with the intention of freeing ourselves from the tight grip of
heteronormative thinking, or rather, the belief that all in the world are
heterosexuals (unless s/he or they disclose otherwise).
As stated above, this bullet
point too advocates, not only for the respect of members of the
“queer-affirming” culture, but for undermining cisgender-affirming
standards. Yet this aspect of their
agenda in reality contradicts the view of the strong majority of the black
community.[2] For these reasons, it is plain that, for most
of their community, blacks do not matter!
