Maybe we are seeing an answer to our prayers that the truth about the origination and goals of Black Lives Matter would come out? Read on.
A Black Lives Matter chapter founder in Minnesota has resigned, claiming that the organization isn’t concerned about helping black communities or helping improve the education quality in Minneapolis, according to a video published last week.
Rashard Turner, the founder of a Black Lives Matter chapter in neighboring St. Paul, said he started the branch in 2015 but became disillusioned roughly a year after becoming “an insider” within the left-wing organization, according to a video released by TakeCharge—a group that rejects various provisions promoted by Black Lives Matter, including critical race theory-linked claims that the United States is inherently racist.
“After a year on the inside, I learned they had little concern for rebuilding black families, and they cared even less about improving the quality of education for students in Minneapolis,” Turner said in the video.
“That was made clear when they publicly denounced charter schools alongside the teachers union. I was an insider in Black Lives Matter. And I learned the ugly truth. The moratorium on charter schools does not support rebuilding the black family. But it does create barriers to a better education for black children. I resigned from Black Lives Matter after a year and a half. But I didn’t quit working to improve black lives and access to a great education.”
Representatives for Black Lives Matter didn’t respond to a request for comment by press time.
Approximately a year after George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis, support for the group has plummeted in the United States, according to a recent poll from Morning Consult. Only 48 percent hold favorable views about the organization, down from 61 percent last May.
A USA Today survey found that 36 percent of Americans now would describe Floyd’s death as a murder, down from 60 percent last summer.
A poll in May conducted by the newspaper revealed that the Black Lives Matter call to “defund the police” has even less support, with only 18 percent of respondents supporting it.
It comes amid recent controversies surrounding Patrisse Cullors, a co-founder of the organization who resigned after a series of reports about her real estate portfolio and finances. Following the reports’ publication last month, Cullors asserted that she didn’t misuse any donations to Black Lives Matter.
In a statement last week, Cullors—a self-described “trained Marxist”—said, “With smart, experienced, and committed people supporting the organization during this transition, I know that BLMGNF is in good hands … The foundation’s agenda remains the same—eradicate white supremacy and build life-affirming institutions.” . . .

May the truth about the true colors of BLM continue to be exposed. If people really want to get involved with social change pray, use discernment and know the heart of an organization, are they what they calm to be. the very sad fact is that many who really want the best for all where deceived and fell into the trap, hook, line and sinker. Is this a sign that Jesus said, “and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.”Matt. 24:11 thank you Father, for revealing truth and may the church arise and shine. Amen
Amen Toni – we are definitely living in Matthew 24 times.
Some of those deceived by this group are waking up. Do a search on #BLM10…
We pray that the Lord will restore the years that the cankerworm has eaten in the black community (Joel 2:25) – deliberate destruction of the Godly family, Marxist infiltration of the US public education system, and Margaret Sanger’s demonic Planned Parenthood Cabal.
We pray Mark 9:42 “And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea” become dunamis for the 20 million innocent black souls offered up by Planned Parenthood.

BLM isn’t interested or concerned at all about improving black lives. If they were then you would think they would speak out against abortion of black babies and all the black on black crime that is the number 1 cause of death of young black men. All they are about is promoting and advancing their twisted and sick agenda. I’m glad that some are seeing it for what it really is. It’s basically about Marxism, putting it in a nutshell.
Heavenly Father I pray that more people will come to get to know the truth about this wicked organization. I pray that You will continue to open our eyes to the truth and turn to Your righteousness. May we humble ourselves and trust in Your timing and be reminded of Your faithfulness. In Jesus name, Amen.
No surprise. Nothing that is man-made is without flaws. There is always someone who gets disappointed because things are not pleasing to them. Jesus experienced this same attitude from the chief priests and the Pharisees, not to mention many others who they had convinced to follow them. Nothing new under the sun. One person’s feelings are just that: One person’s feelings. Sadly, they can get many others on the bandwagon.
Lord we continue to pray and ask You to give courage, strength and protection to members of BLM to speak publicly about the destructive inner workings of this (or any) organization that misuses their platform to present a false front. Give those within these organizations the courage to leave them and to find You Lord as the answer for their lives. Amen.
If Patrice Cullors came into millions of dollars that she did not have when she helped co-found this marxist organization, where did her money come from except donations? Misuse of donations? And isn’t buying 3 or 4 homes considered capitalism? Aren’t marxists against capitalism? And riches? Where’s the sharing of wealth with the followers or victims of BLM? A big attempt to overthrow America is what BLM is all about! Period!
Father God, We thank You for the weapons of warfare that are divinely powerful for the taking down of strongholds. Continue to expose the evil, bring it to light so that the enemy of our soul is disarmed in this battle. Bring Your justice to the guilty. Save them from eternal destruction. Please continue to raise up Your laborers into this field of harvest, for we know You desire that none should perish but all should come to repentance in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen
Lord open the eyes of the blind that they may see the truth of BLM and it’s hidden purposes, in Jesus name.
Does anyone know of a good (Christian) organization that helps lift up black folk who need a lift?
Yes. My Church! My Bible! My Belief and faith in JESUS CHRIST! I am black and these are what has contributed to my being lifted up! If you need physical or financial needs met: Salvation Army, Operation Blessing with the 700 Club, many church pantries that supply physical and financial needs. Ask GOD, HE will lead you! FATHER GOD please direct Alice and lift her up as YOU supply all of her need according to YOUR riches in Glory through CHRIST JESUS! Amen!
That’s wonderful, Carol! I was more thinking like, what Christian organization supports black people who have come against any racial injustice. In other words, who is there, to fill the niche that Black Lives Matter was, supposedly, there, filling?
I pray that because you choose life and Truth He will make you an instrument of it and that you will be a helpful bright light to your spear of influence. That as you choose Truth He will lead you along the best path for your life making provision for wholeness in your body and family.
God bless you for standing for Life!
Those protestors should have gotten a clue when the looting and burning of cities harassed citizens and hurt them physically and mentally. I remember the aftermath of factory windows being broken and you had to lock your car doors going through certain areas of the city of Grand Rapids, MI in the 60’s, 70’s until now. Those neighborhoods were once in a prosperous and well-kept area. Seriously, who is to blame? The golden rule should daily be applied in our lives.
Thank you Lord for removing the cover off of BLM & any other organization that claims to be for one thing but instead promote violence & hatred. Let your righteous cause prevail in Jesus Name Amen
