Judge allows court case to continue against a coach who allegedly benched player for not kneeling

A judge has ruled that a court case by Kiersten Hening against her former soccer coach, Charles Aidair, can continue. Hening played for Virginia Tech’s soccer team between 2018 – 2020. She alleges that she was benched by the coach and pushed to leave the team when she refused to participate in social justice activities being promoted by the coach, the New York Post reports. This included allegations she was verbally abused at halftime by the coach after she refused to kneel before a game in Sept 2020, an incident which allegedly led to significantly reduced playing time, resulting in Hening leaving the team. In a statement announcing that the court case could continue, Federal Judge Thomas Cullen wrote: “Hening, who had been a major on-field contributor for two years prior to the 2020 season, also asserts that Adair removed her from the starting lineup for the next two games and drastically reduced her playing time in those games because she had engaged in this protected First Amendment activity. As a result, Hening resigned from the …

US BLM helps nonprofit purchase the former headquarters of the Communist Party of Canada

There is a strange story coming out of the US that the American-based Black Lives Matter (BLM) organization allegedly helped a Canadian organization, M4BJ, purchase the former headquarters of the Communist Party of Canada located in Toronto, Ontario. The old mansion, which is considered a heritage site, was purchased for $6.3 million. The Blaze writes: “M4BJ, a Toronto-based non-profit set up by Janaya Khan and other Canadian activists, snagged the 10,000 square foot historic property for the equivalent of $6.3 million in cash in July 2021,” the New York Post reported, noting that it had reviewed Toronto property records. The outlet reported that Black Lives Matter “transferred millions” to the M4BJ charity. Coincidentally, Khan is the wife of Patrisse Khan-Cullors – a co-founder of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation. Cullors – a self-described “trained Marxist” –resigned from the Black Lives MatterGlobal Network Foundation in May after weeks of criticism surrounding the purchase of high-end real estate properties. This has many within the US organization wondering who is calling the shots in the BLM. Fox …

BLM co-founder called for ‘end of Israel’

Patrisse Cullors, the self-proclaimed trained Marxist, co-founder of Black Lives Matter and multi-million dollar home-owner, can now add another to her list of left wing accomplishments. According to the Daily Mail, while speaking on a panel sponsored by Harvard University’s Human Rights Program in 2015, Cullors called for an end to Israel’s existence as a nation.

BLM’s ‘trained Marxist’ in more trouble?

There appears to be more to this story about Black Lives Matter (BLM) cofounder, Patrisse Khan-Cullors who recently purchased a $1.4 million home near Malibu beach in California. Apparently, this isn’t the only home she purchased in the last four years and people in the BLM movement are now calling for an official investigation of Khan-Cullors, the self-proclaimed “trained Marxist.”

BLM protestors disrupt Christmas cancer fundraiser

According to reports, members of Black Lives Matter in Milwaukee, Wisconsin decided to protest a Christmas fundraising event that raises money for a local cancer center. It is uncertain why the group known as The People’s Revolution (TPR) chose to demonstrate at an event largely attended by families with children. Even people who typically support BLM are calling it a “trash move.”

BLM ‘defund police’ hypocrisy

Perhaps, hypocrisy, should be nominated as the word of the year for 2020. Not only do we have Democrat elitists wilfully violating their own lockdown rules, but after repeatedly calling for police defunding, we now have Black Lives Matter (BLM) activists in Washington, DC complaining that the police didn’t do enough to protect them during recent protests.

Canada: BLM ‘demands’ funding cuts to police

The Black Lives Matter (BLM) organization has been demanding cuts to police funding throughout the US with some success. Now it appears that BLM has brought the defund police movement to Canada. First thing you should notice is that these weren’t requests, they were demands. In a recent presentation to the Greater Sudbury city council in Ontario, BLM made three demands. The first focussed on more spending and the second on more inclusion. But it is the third ‘demand’ that caught my attention: Demand Three: Black Lives Matter Sudbury demands that the City of Greater Sudbury and Council to immediately defund and redirect 10 per cent of the $62-million Sudbury taxpayer dollars utilized for the Greater Sudbury Police Service (GSPS) budget. READ: Black Lives Matter Sudbury unveils list of ‘demands’ for city council Now, it is important to realize that in the US, BLM does not even represent the majority of Blacks. It is not even close. The organization is completely out of touch with the people it claims to represent. The vast majority of …

BLM founders: More ties to communism?

A video surfaced earlier this year of one of the founders of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) organization, Patrisse Cullors, claiming she was a Marxist. The Daily Caller explained what happened recently with Alicia Garza, another of BLM’s co-founders: Black Lives Matter co-founder Alicia Garza’s new organization, Black Futures Lab, is fiscally sponsored by the Chinese Progressive Association, which organized the raising of communist China’s flag over Boston City Hall last year. The “donate” button on Black Futures Lab’s website takes users to a donation page hosted by the CPA, which notes that “Black Futures Lab is a fiscally sponsored project of the Chinese Progressive Association.” The partnership between the two groups was first reported by the Daily Signal on Tuesday. The CPA last year sponsored the raising of the Chinese flag over Boston City Hall to mark the 70th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party creating the People’s Republic of China. The event sparked a protest from demonstrators opposed to the Chinese government’s actions in Hong Kong, 7News Boston reported at the time.

More Blacks protesting against BLM

We have seen Blacks in the past protesting against the Black Lives Matter (BLM) organization because they do not believe it represents them. READ: WATCH: Black Woman Pours Paint Over BLM Street Art: ‘All Lives Matter!’ ‘We’re Taking Our Country Back!’ ‘Refund The Police!’ The Blaze pointed to another example on Facebook of several black people explaining why they are opposed to Black Lives Matter. The video posted on the Daily Wire‘s Facebook page has been shared 5,900 times. The Blaze provides a few of their quotes: “They’re full of hate. Nobody listen to them. Don’t listen to them. Don’t try to understand them. Why? They are full of hate. You don’t need it. America don’t need it.” “In a black neighborhood, black-on-black crime is real. … White people aren’t doing anything to them.”  “I’m black, 52, I’m not oppressed. Ain’t nobody oppressing me. America’s more free than it’s ever been.”   “They don’t know who they’re mad at. Remember, this started with George Floyd. It went from George Floyd to now, it became the white people. Then …

Why do BLM protestors burn down black businesses?

This is not the first time it happened. But people are asking why are Black Lives Matter protestors burning down black-owned businesses? It happened again in Rochester, NY. The Blaze explains: Jesse Barksdale, the black owner of a Rochester, New York, multipurpose store that leases U-Haul vehicles, was reportedly “livid” after Black Lives Matter demonstrators reportedly set fire to at least three of his trucks in the early hours of Sunday morning. Poll: What is the most important issue for you in the 2020 election? A sign hangs outside of Barksdale’s business — “Proud to be Black Owned” — but that apparently didn’t stop who are believed to be Black Lives Matter demonstrators from burning down his business.

A black man tells of his encounter with Antifa

Many allege that Antifa is a Marxist extremist group that is simply using the current racial unrest to instigate violence and push its political agenda. And Fox News tells what happened to Gabriel Johnson, a Black man, who showed up at a recent Antifa protest in Portland: Gabriel Johnson, a 48-year-old Black man and retired Marine, said that after he went to protest outside the courthouse with his American flag in hand on July 19, he was called racial slurs and members of Antifa followed him home. “These people have nothing to do with Black lives. Our Black community leaders need to stand up and lead because what’s happening is they’re letting a group of terrorists that don’t represent me use me, and that’s not right,” said Johnson.

Black woman paints over BLM words in New York

In early July, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio authorized the painting of the words Black Lives Matter (BLM), in huge block letters, on the street in front of Trump Towers on Fifth Avenue. In fact, Mayor de Blasio helped paint one of the letters. Most believe de Blasio authorized the painting to antagonize the country’s president, Donald Trump, who owns the tower. But not all blacks are in agreement with the messaging of the BLM, that seems to have taken a turn to the extreme political left. In a video, one of the founders of BLM claims to be a trained Marxist. Recently, a black woman, Bevelyn Beatty, decided to paint over the words on the street with black paint. A Christian, Beatty believes all lives matter, and she also does not want police funding cut, a reference to Mayor de Blasio’s push to have $1 billion cut from the city’s police budget. Beatty, who leads a ministry called The Well Ministries, was arrested by police. The Daily Wire writes: On Saturday, activist and At …

Marxist BLM activists shout ‘abolish capitalism now’?

More evidence is surfacing that some Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests are more about politics than black lives. At a protest in Beverly Hills, California, BLM activists were not shouting Black Lives Matter, they were shouting “Abolish Capitalism Now”. Andy Ngo has the video: Black Lives Matter protesters in Beverley Hills, Cal. chant: “Abolish capitalism, now!”  pic.twitter.com/RgEdMfmyA1 — Andy Ngô (@MrAndyNgo) June 27, 2020 READ: Black Lives Matter Activists Want To ‘Abolish Capitalism.’ Vendors Selling BLM Merch Just Got Shut Down In Black Lives Matter Plaza.

BLM harassed women & children at NY Baptist church

The Daily Wire reports that members of Grace Baptist Church in Troy, New York, many of whom were women and children, were harassed by Black Lives Matter protestors as they entered the church for a Sunday Morning service on July 5, 2020. According to reports the harassment started at the end of June. The Daily Wire writes: The protesters, repeatedly shouting “Black Lives Matter,” even harassed and blocked churchgoers while they were with their young children, using a megaphone to scream at the families, shaming and threatening their parents with calls to CPS, or Child Protective Services. The assaults, harassment, and protesting have been occurring since at least the end of June, according to the viral videos posted online. The church has refused to close or back down, directing men from the parish to help escort fellow worshipers inside as they are blocked by BLM protesters. The Daily Wire notes that black parishioners were a favourite target of the protestors: In other footage, mostly black churchgoers are shamed and screamed at by protesters as they …

Black conservatives crash white BLM protest

Two Black conservatives, Benji Irby and Shemeka Michell, were visiting North Carolina’s state capitol in Raleigh, when they noticed a Black Lives Matter protest in the park that only had white people. In an interview on KTTH-AM, Benji Irby explains: “As we were walking down a little path, Shemeka was like, ‘Is that a Black Lives Matter sign?’” he said. “And I’m like, ‘What? Is this a Black Lives Matter protest?’ And I’m like, ‘But there are no black people.’ And I’m like, I don’t even do live videos, but I have to share this video, this is absolutely crazy. And there was a whole Black Lives Matter protest there — not a single black person at all. The Western Journal writes: And then there’s the beautiful contrast here. Oh, look, a bunch of white people who are Very Angry at what’s happening to black people — and black people who are utterly perplexed at their attitude. In fact, they’re openly derisive of the protesters, laughing at the preposterousness of the situation. My guess is …

BLM activist warns Target to not call police or else

Breitbart recently reported on disturbing situation that took place at a Target store in Washington, DC. A group of Black Lives Matter (BLM) protestors showed up at the store and one of BLM’s leaders used a foghorn to tell Target if they did not quit calling the police, then BLM would shut down the store.

BLM activist calls for pulling down statues of Jesus

Now I am not necessarily a big fan of Jesus statues, but Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King has recently said it’s OK for protestors to pull down statues of Jesus, not just any statues, but those that are specifically white. He allegedly wants any stained-glass windows portraying a white Jesus destroyed as well. Though, I am not a big fan of Jesus statues, I don’t think it’s fine to destroy another group’s property. And if it’s solely about colour, why did rioters destroy businesses owned by black people? The Blaze writes: “Yes, I think the statues of the white European they claim is Jesus should also come down. They are a form of white supremacy. Always have been,” King tweeted on Monday. “In the Bible, when the family of Jesus wanted to hide, and blend in, guess where they went? EGYPT! Not Denmark. Tear them down,” he added. “Yes. All murals and stained glass windows of white Jesus, and his European mother, and their white friends should also come down,” he explained in a …
