The problem I & other conservatives are wrestling with
The BLM *org* has taken something conservatives care deeply about, the intrinsic value of all humans (esp those who suffer injustice) and used it to frost a cake baked with the most pernicious ideas humanity has ever known.

BLM is unabashedly Marxist. Marxism, which divides a population by groups, usually race or class, is responsible for every mass human evil that we have seen throughout history and especially in the 20th century. Whether it be your standard-issue genocide, ethnic cleansing...
Jews as victimizers and everyday Germans the victims, “bourgeoisie” as the victimizers and proletariat as the victims, or seeing blacks as subhuman/property based their race- no good comes when everyone in one group is considered virtuous and everybody the other group is wicked.
The founding US principles were distinct because we built a system based on *individual* liberty & rights, not religious/racial/class groups. While it took too long for us to fully realize legal equality, the principles resulted in the freest, most prosperous nation in the world.
Collectivism can never accomplish that.
Also, BLM “seeks to disrupt the western prescribed nuclear family.” (As if marriage is “Western,” the 5 major religions disagree about everything *except* marriage.) The destabilization of family is a classic tactic of totalitarian regimes

Chinese youth were taught to feel closer to chairman Mao than their parents. If kids can’t trust their parents, see their parents as the enemy, if their bonds to parents have been “disrupted” their dependence and allegiance goes to the state. Destabilize family = increase gov’t.
Transgenderism is a central aspect of the black lives matter organization. Gender dysphoria is on the rise, especially among autistic girls. Children who don’t fit traditional gender stereotypes are led to believe that somehow that means they were born in the wrong body.
Waves and waves of “detransitioners” are now speaking up about the harm gender theorists and complicit physicians have wrecked on their bodies. No child should be told that to be their true selves they must become a lifelong consumer of pharmaceuticals and cosmetic surgery.
Despite all that, Americans are told if they don’t put up a black profile picture or if they refuse to protest, that somehow means they don’t think black lives matter.
BLM has taken something that every American I know believes in- the intrinsic worth of black lives- and used it to smuggle in radical and destructive ideas. They then claim anyone who doesn’t agree with Black Lives Matter is a racist. What a clever, manipulative, tactic.
So for anyone who’s chosen to read this far this is where I stand.
BLACK LIVES MATTER. For my friends who are people of color, I want to be the first one to bear your burdens and hear your heart. If you would give me the honor.

But I will never *ever* support the BLM org because it violates the core conservative principles of *individual* rights/dignity, of family as an irreplaceable institution for social thriving, & that physical bodies (especially those of children) are sacred and deserve protection.
