They completely ignore fatherhood. From BLMF: "We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and 'villages' that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable." Well, every "village" that has fatherless families is a village that suffers higher crime rates, higher drug usage, higher abortion rates, higher drop-out rates, higher poverty rates, and so much more. #DadsMatter.
They demand reparations. Ok. Sooooo, I guess the white half of me will have to pay the black half of me? If progressives want to push reparations, start with the Party of Slavery and Jim Crow—the Democrat Party! Let them ante up. But the #BlackLivesMatter movement bizarrely demands: "Reparations for...full and free access for all Black people (including undocumented and currently and formerly incarcerated people) to lifetime education...retroactive forgiveness of student loans, and support for lifetime learning programs." Uhhh, good luck with that.
They want to abolish prisons and police forces. And...cue utter chaos. MFBL asserts: "We believe that prisons, police and all other institutions that inflict violence on Black people must be abolished..." Defund and remove the police have been rallying cries. That would be anarchy in any community. I advocate some needed police reforms and better community/police relations, but this is just foolishness.

They are anti-capitalism. Oh the irony of this declaration made by a movement that is the result of capitalism: "We are anti-capitalist. We believe and understand that Black people will never achieve liberation under the current global racialized capitalist system." The videos that make us aware of police brutality are captured on phones that are a result of capitalism. The best way to elevate people out of material poverty? Capitalism. This system is why the United States is the most charitable nation.
Colin Kaepernick supports it. A "biracial" adoptee, Kaepernick is now obsessed with his "blackness." He idolizes the late murderous Fidel Castro and Che Guevara and worships Malcolm X (just see his social media feeds). Malcolm X was anti-integration, pro-violence and a member of the virulently racist Nation of Islam (who forced him out). Kaepernick makes millions from Nike—a company whose entire Executive Leadership Team is white (isn't this white supremacy???)—that makes its shoes in the most murderous regime in the world. Kaepernick, of course, is completely silent on that. But you know, #SocialJusticeWarrior.
Apparently, not all black lives matter. Pro-abortion BLMF declared: "We deserve and thus we demand reproductive justice [aka abortion] that gives us autonomy over our bodies and our identities while ensuring that our children and families are supported, safe, and able to thrive." Aborted children don't thrive. BLM groups announced "solidarity" with "reproductive justice" groups back in February 2015. You cannot simultaneously fight violence while celebrating it.
