How did BLM get started BLM was founded in 2013 in response to the death of Trayvon Martin and the subsequent acquittal of George Zimmerman. There were many like-minded groups that got their start around the same time, dreamdefenders, colorofchange, organizationforblackstruggle, and advancementproject to name just a few. BLM, as well as most of these groups, have some laudable goals: - Inclusion - Stopping police brutality - Preventing murder by cop - Stopping oppression - Stopping and fighting against white supremacy Secret White House Meetings (Disguised as dinners and meet and greet) Most of the groups mentioned above were all invited to the White House in 2015 for secret meetings with Obama and the Democracy Alliance (DA). These meetings were nothing more than interviews to determine who the Democrat financial donors would back. They reluctantly settled Black Lives Matter. Their reticence stemmed from backing an organization that could just as easily turn on Democrats as Republicans and due to the fact that they employed extremely aggressive tactics. Obama and the DA understood that shutting down freeways, disrupting rallies, and taking down statues could easily backfire on BLM and any political and financial advantage they were attempting to achieve could be permanently closed off. To achieve sustainability BLM needed money and lots of it. The DA and the Obama administration cleared the field for BLM. Virtually all other groups took a back seat to BLM. From 2016 and going forward BLM took on a hard left political slant. - Google Search
