BLM Opposes Kamala Coronation

By Bob Small

One would expect Black Lives Matter to march lockstep with the Democratic Party and, in most cases, they do.

That’s not the case with Kamala.

BLM is criticizing the “anointing” of Vice President Harris as Democrat’s candidate for president “without a public vote”.

They want a “virtual snap primary” prior to the Democratic Convention.

“This blatant disregard for democratic principles is unacceptable,” it says. “We do not live in a dictatorship. Delegates are not oligarchs.”

BLM leader Shalomyah Bowers says that this is not criticizing her capability to be a leader,“but is an attack on the nominating process”.

Another article says that the current process “ lends credence to critics’ claims that Harris was selected solely because of her race and gender. “

In an official statement, BLM said  “We call for the Rules Committee to create a process that allows for public participation in the nomination process, “ and this may be happening now.

It added “The DNC refused to host debates during the primary, even though a vast majority of Democratic voters wanted them. This would have likely allowed America to see the decline of Joe Biden in 2023.” and “The DNC changed the primary schedule and created rules that made it almost impossible for non-Biden candidates to appear on the ballot.”

BLM also says that “Historically, Black people have been loyal Democratic voters, but time and again, the party has taken our votes for granted “

In another article it was noted that BLM and the GOP agree on this one act and how wrong it appears.

The spokesperson on a recent Democracy Now Program, approving of this process was from Black Voters Matter Black Voters Matter, not BLM, as some have said.
