BLM co-founder Mark Fisher recently endorsed Trump while saying everyone else sucks?

I was shocked to read this. Especially given Trump is extremely pro-Israel and many BLM members support Hamas.

Sounds like a parody but it wasn’t.

I can't imagine many BLM people actually give a shit either way about Israel and Palestine. It's not like it has ANY impact on their lives at all. It's only the weirdo anti-West loons who need to support BOTH BLM and Palestine. Most normal people would view those two issues as complete separate--which they are. Therefore most people tend to have independent views of each. So you can for instance be pro BLM and pro Palestine, pro BLM and pro Israel, pro BLM and not care either way, anti BLM and pro Palestine, anti BLM and pro Israel, etc., etc.

The point is in the REAL world, there are meaningful numbers of people that fit in ALL buckets. And to be honest, the BIGGEST bucket would likely be the bucket of "don't give a shit either way about BLM AND dont give a shit either way about Israel and Palestine." It's only the pathological anti-West people who have to link up a specific position on ALL SORTS of unrelated issues. For instance: pro open borders (in the West), pro Palestine, pro BLM, pro LGBTQIA+ including allowing men into women's sports and spaces, anti school choice, pro abortion with no restrictions until birth, pro gun control, anti prosecuting crime (including violent crime), etc. These are all pretty conceptually independent issues, therefore there shouldn't be a ton of correlation on one's positions across all of them. And in fact a couple of those positions make ABSOLUTELY no sense. In particular the pro Palestine pro LGBTQIA+ position is the most patently absurd on the surface. It literally supports a group of people whose POLICY is to throw LGBTQIA+ people off of buildings.

But if you're rabidly anti-West the combination of positions makes a lot more sense.

I'm not familiar with Mark Fisher and whether or not he's even a serious person when it comes to voicing his opinion. Most of the BLM leadership have been outed as grifters.

It's surprising either way, but there's been a significant shift of black Americans voting in favor of Republicans, especially and because of Trump. That is also a significant reason why he's crushing everyone else in primary polling.

There is a growing minority of black people who see through the Democrat’s bullshit.

Conservative black people have it REALLY tough. They deal with extreme animosity from other black people (they get called “toms”). But again they see through all the bullshit. The

Democratic Party actually WANTS to keep black people weak by treating them with kid gloves which in itself is very racist. These black people know that people will respect them a TON more if they accomplish success through hard work, independence and discipline vs. handouts and “reparation” crap.

I’ve met a few black people who are very self reliant and successful by self discipline and elbow grease. I have a ton of respect for that.

this is stupid, acknowledging that Israel is just a baby killing country does NOT mean you support hamas. this is absurdly ridiculous. 🤡

This is just another attempt from democrats to prevent President Trump from becoming president again. People may think that if the head of BLM is endorsing him there must be something wrong with him

You’re shocked to learn that Lefties and their “morality” is all crap?
