Never forget how much of Leftism, at the top, is a scam for power and loot.

Cradle Catholic. Active in the pro-life movement since 1973. Father of three, one in Heaven, and happily married for 43 years. Small town lawyer and amateur historian. Former president of the board of directors of the local crisis pregnancy center for a decade.
No different than any company’s “chief diversity officer”, it’s good money if you can get it-
The people who follow this movement are gullible and stupid. They will look back one day and realise how gullible and stupid they were, to the detriment of their fellow citizens.
Came out yesterday that she bought 4 homes!! New York Post front page today.
I like the remark (by an Eric Hoffer admirer, presumably) that they went from cause to business to racket in record time.
Vice President Harris aka CackleCackle, is one of BLM’s dupes and contributors. Founder Khan-Cullors is laughing all the way to the bank and probably to the Caymans. Which reminds me, where is the white collar crime unit of the FBI? Too busy vetting members of the military and other law abiding citizens.
Just saw this on Twitter…
“Foot Locker donated $200 million to BLM. Their Minneapolis store was just looted and destroyed.”
The reactions are pretty funny…
“Foot Locker donated $200 million to BLM
I suspect your Tweeter misplaced a decimal point. Still a scandal at 1% of that sum.
No error. From their press release…
“Black lives matter. Foot Locker, Inc. stands in solidarity with the Black community in the fight against inequality and injustice and is devoted to supporting team members, customers and the community with resources to drive systemic change.
Foot Locker, Inc. is committing $200 million over the next five years towards enhancing the lives of its team members and customers in the Black community through economic development and education.
“We recognize that Black Culture plays a pivotal role in shaping Sneaker Culture – the foundation of our business at Foot Locker, Inc.,” writes Richard Johnson, Chairman & CEO, in an open letter to the Foot Locker community. “We believe we have an obligation to add our voice and work to drive meaningful and lasting change across our company and within the communities we serve.”

This donation appears not to be to BLM, but using the phrase that black lives matter, to other entities owned by blacks or for blacks like UNCF United Negro College Fund. How soon we forget that Pres. Trump in DEC 2019 signed a bipartisan bill that provides $230 million annually to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU)
The “donation” (payoff?) is to the very “black community” that destroyed its store. One video I saw showed a group of women, from the “community”, dancing in glee at the event outside the looted store.
I hope Footlocker is happy with their donation last night to the “black community”.
Why should the executives care about their stores being trashed? They are far enough up the corporate ladder that such events hardly affect them at all.

What those colleges need is extra endowment income to meet their fixed costs, so they can cut their enrollments. About 40% of the students they admit never finish a degree. The Chesapeake & Potomac bloc of states has nine public colleges founded for blacks. The number of competent students at these nine colleges might fill four of them – Morgan State, Bowie State, Virginia State, and Norfolk State.
