Obama: "Americans must force me to help you"

BLM: "It's not our responsibility to educate you. Mr President"

Does this conversation look like a material class based antagonism to you? Seems more like two sides of the same PMC "community leadership" coin

      Yep, my local had a schism because the national branch basically started ignoring the local leadership and only recognized "black business owner" types. The new leadership basically purged the old leadership. The protests were controlled by the new ones and went very poorly as they were literally turning black children into the police for throwing things.

      Seems like the purged leadership is gaining more momentum as people realize that the new is just opportunist liberals.
