BLM leader: Destroy all depictions of Jesus Christ as “white European”
/By Rubashov
Black Lives Matter is run by a group of self-described “trained Marxists”. Not old school, working class Marxists, mind you. No getting their hands dirty, blue-collar labor for these Marxists, thank you very much.
In the 1960s, Marxist academics like Herbert Marcuse came up with a new form of libertine Marxism based on theories about “identity” that allowed the children of professionals to adopt the fashion of Marxism while living very comfortably in academia or growing fat off corporate grants. It is this snowflake variety of Marxism that the founders of Black Lives Matter practice.
Just remember that while Karl Marx was impoverished to the point that several of his children starved to death, Herbert Marcuse was something of a playboy whose jobs in academia and books sales made him rather rich. Which one do you think your average upper-middle class college-educated activist would rather emulate?
Unlike the devotees of Black Lives Matter, Marx was sensitive to the role of class in the American South in the run-up to the Civil War. In his extensive writings from that period, Marx examined the class divisions inside the Southern states. When writing about the secession resolutions, for example, Marx portrays the slave-owning class as a small but powerful minority, ruling over both the largely enslaved black population and poor whites. Yes, Karl Marx understood and made those distinctions.
Black Lives Matter is not so intellectually precise as all that – instead preferring blanket condemnations based on skin-color, national origin, and such. W.E.B. Du Bois would have seen BLM for what they are: Racialists trapped in a perspective obsessed by skin-color.
Fresh from BLM tearing down General U.S. Grant’s statue over the weekend (yes, General Grant, the man who defeated the Confederacy; yep, they forgot that without Grant there would have been no victory, no freedom, no Juneteenth, no anything) a prominent Black Lives Matter activist named Shaun King on Monday called for the removal of statues, murals and stained glass windows that depict Jesus as a “white European,” which he claimed “are a form of white supremacy.”
“Yes, I think the statues of the white European they claim is Jesus should also come down,” King, wrote on Twitter. “They are a form of white supremacy. Always have been.”
“In the Bible, when the family of Jesus wanted to hide, and blend in, guess where they went?” he added. “EGYPT! Not Denmark. Tear them down.”
“All murals and stained glass windows of white Jesus, and his European mother, and their white friends should also come down,” King wrote in a second tweet. “They are a gross form of white supremacy.”
By “white friends” we suppose the BLM honcho was referring to the apostles. Is this idiot really suggesting that he doesn’t understand that every culture since Ancient Greece has depicted its gods or God in their own image? People with dog heads went out with Ancient Egypt. Oh, and by-the-way, Denmark didn't exist until the 8th century How could anyone have gone to some place that didn't exist yet?
Black Lives Matter must harbor levels of malevolence not witnessed since the Taliban destroyed those statues of the Buddha some twenty years ago. The Taliban insisted that all religions kneel before them. Remember how the world reacted when they went too far?
As for Shaun King? Don’t worry about him. The media reports that he has made millions as a fund-raiser for causes like Black Lives Matter. Nobody in his family is going to starve. Snowflake Marxism has been very good to Shaun.
That said, he has attracted attention on how he has spent the money raised for such causes. The New York Post reports…
Activist Shaun King has botched his attempt to recreate abolitionist Frederick Douglass’ newspaper, The North Star, as an online venture — sparking renewed scrutiny over his financial dealings, according to a report Tuesday.
King’s new media outlet — which was lauded by such celebs as Susan Sarandon and Megan Mullally — has pulled in between $60,000 and $625,000 a month, depending on various figures he’s provided, the Daily Beast said.
Yet it has failed to deliver on nearly every one of his promises, which included building “multiple studios’’ and “hiring nearly 50 world class journalists,” the site said.
