“What does it mean when a CEO says, “we support Black Lives Matter?” On the surface, it appears the company affirms the dignity and equality of Black people. If it were that simple, all Catholics would be obligated to support such a movement.
If the motives on BLM sound too hard to believe, a simple perusal of blacklivesmatter.com plus interviews from their founders will clear up any confusion.
On Marxism: BLM co-founder Patrice Cullors boldly promotes their plan stating, “We spent the year reading, anything from Marx, to Lenin, to Mao, learning all types of global critical theory and about different campaigns across the world, as a way to learn how to bring people in, how to keep them in an organization… There’s an entire skillset to this.”
Every major news outlet has parroted BLM’s battle cry to encourage anarchy and to defund the police. Where police have been defunded, crime is rapidly growing. Creating anarchy in the streets is a Marxist approach to gain control. It is backed by the attack on American history, witnessed in the tearing down of statues.
One can see the correlation between the racially motivated frustrations and tearing down Confederate statues, but the anarchists have gone way beyond that, making their motives confusing.
They have torn down the likes of Ulysses S. Grant and other abolitionists; saints such as Junipero Serra; and desecrated statues of Jesus and the Blessed Mother. Simply put, this has nothing to do with racism and everything to do with reinventing the United States.
The cunning strategies implemented by BLM include stonewalling, gas-lighting, and intimidation. They have redefined racism by declaring it not a personal decision or action but a systemic, collective action.
To be a racist has meant individually believing that a given race is superior to another and acting out on that belief. The new definition of systemic racism leaves no white person free of the label of “racist.” BLM leaders nationwide flatly demand all white people admit they are racist.
So, why would any CEO support the movement? There are two reasons. First, CEOs don’t want to be labeled racist – so they cave in. Second, BLM supporters threaten boycotts of business. That’s why organizations like Racialfairness.org have risen up.
The Racial Fairness banner allows for organizations to support the fight against racism, while also loving their country, supporting the police, and building great families.”

“Systemic racism” is the cheap secular replacement for original sin.
Having discarded the true, working moral compass of Christianity and Catholicism, the Left has sought to replace it with the plastic Mattel, made-in-China ethic of woke liberalism.
Here’s a good in-depth article analyzing the Black Lives Matter movement and organizations that are co-opting the movement to promote gender identity politics and violence

Nobody knows that BLM uses spirit divination or black magic to fuel their political movement. Perhaps this is one reason why there is a sharp increase in theft of the Eucharist. To be used in witchcraft or black mass.

Pope Leo XIII , in his "QUOD APOSTOLICI MUNERIS, ENCYCLICAL OF POPE LEO XIII
ON SOCIALISM, said " You understand, venerable brethren, that We speak of that sect of men who, under various and almost barbarous names, are called socialists, communists, or nihilists, and who, spread over all the world, and bound together by the closest ties in a wicked CONFEDERACY, no longer seek the shelter of secret meetings, but, openly and boldly marching forth in the light of day, strive to bring to a head what they have long been planning – the overthrow of all civil society whatsoever."
For sure, if the Nazis existed at that time, they would have been included. But those who promote socialism, whether left or right wing, are part of the new Confederacy. Confederacy did not stop in 1865, it is back as a way to enslave all people, it even transcends borders, as ISIS. In fact, the tactics of the the new Confederacy closely mirrors ISIS: they destroy the past, desecrate Churches, attack Christians, use violence and threats to get political power and the media is scared to take both of them on. However, we have Christ. He is more than everything.
