You're right.
It was founded on the "injustices" of the deaths of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown which didn't turn out to be injustices at all.
Shocker.
What kind of weaselly chicken shite a-hole are you?
The Trayvon Martin death was an injustice, just because there was no conviction, doesn't mean that Zimmerman doesn't deserve a painful death
911 dispatch was clear and concise, DO NOT ENGAGE, we'll send someone to check it out, also the CHILD was merely walking home from the 7-11 with candy & beverage that he paid for -- no crime was committed
Then this cowardly a-hole rent-a-cop tried to play hero, HE IGNORED THE SPECIFIC DEMANDS of the 911 operator, he didn't ask the Child was he lost, he didn't ask was he looking for someone, he wanted to play hero and FOLLOWED A CHILD IN THE DARK
Imagine how enraged you would be if someone followed YOUR CHILD (13yrs old?) AT NIGHT without explaining themselves in some way
You'd be fricking irate
Anyway by following that Teenager at night in that situation created what is known as a fight or flight situation, he put a child in a situation where the CHILD felt threatened , all Zimmerman had to do was say, "I'm security around here just checking to see if I can help you in any way" , the CHILD likely says I'm walking home from the Store, case closed no big deal
Instead he kept following and sneaking up on a Teenager and got his bitch arse whupped and then after taking the fricking loss like the bitch he is , he resorted to pulling a gun on an unarmed CHILD
That's the same as me following YOUR WIFE or TEEN CHILD in the dark and then as soon as I get maced, then I pull a gun and shoot and claim she maced me I had to defend myself
Zimmerman followed a child at night and created a dangerous situation, too bad the prosecutor did a shytty job at Trial and couldn't get an involuntary manslaughter conviction
In the Mike Brown case that might be the first time I've ever heard of a non drug addicted person try to reach in the Cops car and take his gun, since most Cops are right handed that would put the gun on his rt hip, meaning he would have had to reach real deep in that car to get his gun, most black teens shy away from Cops, but in this isolated case he went after the cops like a madman
The way cops frequently LIE UNDER OATH , and LIE on police reports that are frequently disproven by Video from various sources, maybe that case deserves a 2nd look
Amazing to see all the angry hateful assholes on this site

The BLM organization(s) are money laundering scheme with no accountability. Not to mention people are getting money that didn’t even need or ask for it. Find me anywhere they actually accounted for where the money has been spent. They have huge incentive to keep that phrase relevant.
Read if you are bored or curious...
Think Ozark, Mafia, Narcos.
Black Lives Matter Foundation (an official 501C3 with the IRS) is NOT related to BlackLivesMatter.com. This is an individual man, Ray Barnes, that started a foundation using the name around the same time stating it was because of a similar cause in his life. Ray Barnes is a 67 year old music producer in LA who says Black Lives Matter stole the name from him.
Recently, plenty of articles and been posted about this group.
Current articles say that Barnes has recently raised as much as $4.3 million for his foundation. Many locations (Paypal/GoFundMe) have now frozen links that contribute funds to his foundation because they didn’t believe he was actually the intended recipient. His 2017 990 listed him has having $279k in assets and paying himself $24k and giving out $9k.
Basically, Barnes beat the other group to creating an actual foundation and plenty of people have given to his nonprofit recently, most in error. He has stated in various ways his mission which doesn’t align exactly with that of BlackLivesMatter.com. There is no evidence that he is necessarily being unscrupulous, just that he isn’t the group people believe him to be and now has millions.
At some point (or currently) ThePraxisProject.org (temporary mailing address in Oakland, CA but a listed Washington, DC nonprofit) has/had a fiscal sponsor relationship with BLMF (Barnes’ group). ThePraxisProject, who also uses ActBlue (see below) for giving, had their last 990 with the IRS in 2017 and no current financials on their website. In 2016, The Praxis Project 2016 990 Form shows contributing $126k to BLMF (Ray Barnes). The BLMF 990 form from 2014 actually has Praxis Project name on it. I looked but couldn’t find any specific breakdown as to where past donations have been given. Hopefully, somebody will be watching what happens to the MILLIONS he was just handed and continues to collect. Most of which was NOT intended for him.
Now, Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation is BlackLivesMatter.com. The group most people think of when they use the hashtag. Confusingly, BLMGN sometimes uses Black Lives Matter Foundation, Inc. when posting. BLMGNF doesn’t actually have their own foundation (as of recent) and none is listed with the IRS despite articles saying it is in the works. Donations are funneled in different ways but their primary fundraising link is via ActBlue which is a nonprofit many left leaning groups use to process their money (and get their tax write off). ActBlue holds funds after taking their processing fee and then transfers money to the “fiscal sponsor” of BLMGN or potentially portions go directly to BLMGNF or other places as directed. In this case, you actually gave to ActBlue holding a fund for BLMGN.
Many companies or non-profits use fiscal sponsors. Fiscal sponsors are groups that manage accounting of the non-profit/business and are actual foundations, 501c3 for tax purposes. These groups invest a collection of funds and help with fundraising and take their piece off the top.
In 2015, Thousand Currents (fomerly IDEX) began acting as the primary fiscal sponsor for BLMGNF ( holds the money as grants for BLMNG either with or without restrictions). In 2019, they held $3.8 million for the four grantors they work with including BLMGN which was $3.3 million of that total. Of those funds, they show releasing $1.8 million. They released the same amount in 2018 and in 2017 released $2 million to BLMGNF.
From reading, it appears numerous media sources have asked the official Black Lives Matter group for a specific breakdown of where the money they are given goes. That hasn't been provided that I could find. Because they aren’t a foundation and the money is funneled through ActBlue then Thousand Currents, there is no easy or public way to tell. However, BLMGNF represents around 86% of the restricted funds Thousand Currents holds. As per their June 2019 financials, 62% of program expenses (not internal expenses) went to personnel (salaries, benefits, taxes), consultant fees (who knows), and travel ($364k). 28%, $1.29 million went to grants.
Because funds are channeled through various sources and non-profits and the actual end recipient is not a foundation or potentially even a non-profit, there is no detailed public record of how much is given, to which groups and how much is for personal use.
So, here comes the minor plot twist. Thousand Currents actually gave $62k 2017 and $28k 2016 to Black Lives Matter (Barnes) Foundation per their 2016/2017 990 forms. No idea what that is all about but curious that the three are connected.
Lastly, neither of these is to be confused with the Black Led Movement Fund (BLMF) . This is where the big “boys and girls” play. The Black-Led Movement Fund is a donor collaborative supported by the General Service Foundation (George Soros), the Linked Fate Fund at the Common Counsel Foundation, the Moriah Fund (Efroymson family), the Nathan Cummings Foundation (Family of Sara Lee Food), Open Society Foundations, the Overbrook Foundation, Sprocket Foundation, Women Donors Network, W.K. Kellogg Foundation, a donor-advised fund at the Tides Foundation, a donor-advised fund at NY Community Trust, and Anonymous Donors. It aims to support the work of the Movement for Black Lives (M4BL). If you want to give to them, you have to make an appointment ??
Basically, these are left leaning foundations giving to foundations that give to foundations that make it difficult to actually track where the money any one family or group gives ends up. It is the money laundering of the foundation world

I was ok with the whole message till the end where they just had to peddle the BLM lie.
The data is clear. BLM is based on a vicious anti White, anti cop lie. Controlling for crime rates, Whites are more likely than Blacks to be killed by cops.
And if Blacks are upset that they are disproportionately killed by cops, even though the variable of crime rates fully explains the problem, why can't Whites be upset that Blacks are committing 90 per cent of ALL interracial violence according to govt data? Seriously? I have never seen a good response to this.
It was only about four years ago, that two White UA students were assaulted in thefts by three Black UA football players, so which race should feel more insecure on campus? If Blacks want to obsess over the very rare instances of White on Black violence, it is only fair that Whites be able to show concern for White victims of far more pervasive Black violence.
And Blacks should really ask themselves if they really believe Black Lives Matter when they only get agitated at the extremely rare instances of White on Black violence (much of which involves Blacks resisting arrest), and not the absurdly higher instances of Black on Black violence.
With that said, I don't blame the Black players for thinking they are being hunted down by Whites. I blame the vicious, anti White media. But that won't stop me from refusing to join in on the hysteria.

This one has been terribly gas lit.
Try watching the Trayvon Hoax, and learn how the attorneys of the Martin family switched witnesses, since the original witness refused to tell a lie. They got the fat, borderline retarded sister of Trayvon's real gf, to pretend to be his gf. She even admitted on the stand at one point that she felt bad, cause she "didn't know nothing bout it."
Zimmerman did not assault Trayvon. Black men don't get to just beat the hell out of a White man simply cause they are being followed for questioning
By the way, Trayvon was not the cute little boy the media showed you. He was a well built young man, with a history of violence.

Are you both suggesting that black lives dont currently "matter?"
Of course they do, but why in the world does anyone need to say that, when the far greater problem is the lack of attention to the far more pervasive problem of both Black on Black and Black on White violence. Blacks commit 90 per cent of all interracial violence in this nation, so excuse me for feeling like the media and UA have it completely twisted. Yes, the players and even Coach Saban have been terribly gaslit by a false narrative, but that won't stop me from telling the truth.
