Despite claiming to want to end racism, members of the Black Lives Matter movement held a Memorial Day event which was open only to black people.
Amber Randall reported at the Daily Caller:
Black Lives Matter Throws ‘Exclusively Black’ Memorial Day Weekend PartyThe New York City chapter of Black Lives Matter hosted an “exclusively black” party over Memorial Day weekend.Black Lives Matter NYC, the Black Youth Project 100 and the Black Alliance for Just Immigration joined together to throw “The People’s Turn-up,” or what they called an “unapologetically black” party.“Clear your calendar – It’s a lituation! You’re invited to take part in the UNAPOLOGETICALLY Black festivities. Bring yourself, bring Bae (or come find Bae), whatever you like. We got you. We got us,” the event’s Facebook page read.Only for those 21 and older, event organizers also made it clear that the party was only for black people. If a person did not identify as black, then they were asked to not attend the party.
Last night, Tucker Carlson had on Black Lives Matter supporter Lisa Durden who he asked to explain why this was acceptable. Her response was less than gracious.

‘Hostile, Separatist and Crazy’: Tucker Spars With ‘BLM’ ‘Blacks-Only’ Memorial Day Party SupporterAfter Black Lives Matter hosted a ‘blacks-only’ Memorial Day party, Tucker Carlson asked a BLM supporter why such an event is acceptable.Carlson said the party promoted segregation – the exact thing BLM purports to oppose.”I thought the whole point of Black Lives matter was to speak out against singling out people based on race?” Carlson asked political commentator Lisa Durden.”Boo-hoo, you white people are angry because you couldn’t use your ‘white privilege’ card to get invited to the Black Lives Matter all-black Memorial Day celebration,” Durden said.Carlson asked again why BLM would exclude others based on their race while they protest against such actions.Durden said that Caucasians have “been [celebrating] ‘White Day’ forever” and pointed out that the “Bachelorette” reality show ran 11 seasons before a non-white woman was broadcast.
