Rashad Turner, founder of Black Lives Matter Saint Paul, quit the group this month because BLM national leaders don't care about black people.
His main issue was its call for a moratorium on new charter schools.
He told The 74, "Our public education system has people who are sometimes literally dying for the lack of educational opportunity. And when I think of charter schools in my community here in St. Paul and their benefit to students of color — low-income students — to call for a moratorium or an end to charter schools just lets me know that something funny is going on. I’ve kind of had feelings of trickery or different

"co-opted"? Not at all.
It was ALWAYS a corrupt Marxist political operation and NEVER about black lives actually mattering.
They have just discovered the truth of what it has always been.

BLM is against charter schools because they are less likely to be influenced by communist indoctrination as the publik skools.

This guy is absolutely correct, but what else is new. This is what democrats have always been about. Against school choice, against voucher programs and against charter schools. And what are they for, THE FREAKIN TEACHER'S UNION. Its a circle jerk, the democrats give the teachers & the union money and in return the teachers & union give money to support the democrats re-election. Its that freakin simple. Sad part is the democrats make complete fools of the black communities and they still don't get it. Black parents actually vote for the people who are destroying their children. That's how ignorant the black communities are. Get it yet..

The black whiners will never stop. They continue to be dissatisfied, cry racism, white supremacy and victimhood even though American society has made great efforts to help them. They are favored in education and in job placement, they can now get into the best schools since the standards have been sufficiently lowered for them but not whites and Asians, Television is now black-a-vision, they can loot, burn and shoplift without repercussions, the police hesitate to arrest them for fear of being dragged into court for simply doing their jobs, they have been let out of jail even with multiple felonies on their records, they are allowed to riot, block traffic, shout with megaphones and beat people in the streets. We have already given them way too much leeway and it has gone so far that they will continue to be lawless for a long time to come. It is getting to the point where violence against them is the only answer. One day soon they will attack the wrong neighborhood.

Co-opted by the Marxist teachers unions. Now they are all singing the same Marxist song. The probably stand, with hands over heart, for the USSR anthem.

The teacher unions through their employees in the legislature have long wanted an end to charter schools in California. Charter schools are helpful is boosting educational levels of Black, Hispanic and low income students. Charter schools have no downside except for less union control. The unions, therefore, have ordered the Democrat party to eliminate them. Well, even Stalin ran into opposition when he started to collectivise agriculture and starve millions to death, but orders are orders and Democrats obey the unions. Goodbye, charter schools! Students will now begin to learn that mathematics, Shakespeare, physics, history, biology and even Aesop's fables are racially inspired tools of oppression.

Um, Rashad, did you miss the fact that Smidgen ended charter schools and school vouchers for DC residents who are mostly black and then sent his daughters to the $40,000 per year Sidwell Friends School?

BLM has always existed for one purpose and one purpose only: To make lots of money for a hand full of it's "leadership" by shaking down guilt-ridden lie-berals and lie-beral companies.
Lets face it, if they cared in the least about black lives, they would be in the inner-cities of Detroit, Chicago, New Orleans, etc, etc, helping to stop all the black-on-black violence. According to FBI statistics, if you are a black person who is killed in this country, there is about a 90% chance the person who killed you was also black. But, hey, there is no money to be made in stopping black-on-black crime, so forget about it.

BLM was founded on a lie and was a racket from day one. It was co-opted by better grifters and extortionists.

BLM is what it has always been, and that is a marxist organization. Just because Rashad was clueless, doesn't mean they were co-opted. He was just duped like the rest of the ones who think blm means something of value. Glad Rashad is woke, but he was blind.
