Black Lives Matter Founder: We Wouldn’t Meet With Trump. Because Hitler.
Claims Trump “literally tried to kill our communities”
The “resist we much” crowd’s fevered comparisons of President Trump to Hitler have embraced a new level of hysteria and hyperbole. Black Lives Matter (BLM) co-founder Patrisse Cullors stated that BLM will not meet with Trump because they wouldn’t meet with Hitler, either. She also says that the president is “literally” trying to kill black communities.
The Los Angeles Times reports:
[Interviewer:] Trump has called BLM a threat. Is the door open to talk to him?
[Cullors:] It’s not. And we wouldn’t take the invitation.
[Interviewer:] Why not?
[Cullors:] We wouldn’t as a movement take a seat at the table with Trump, because we wouldn’t have done that with Hitler. Trump is literally the epitome of evil, all the evils of this country — be it racism, capitalism, sexism, homophobia.
He has set out some of the most dangerous policies, not just that impacts this country but impacts the globe. And so for us, the answer is not to sit with him but to resist him and to resist every single policy that he’s implemented that impacts our communities.
And … if I’m thinking about what I want my children to know in 30, 40, 50 years, I want them to know that I resisted a president at all costs, because this president literally tried to kill our communities, and is killing our communities.

Having checked the boxes for “all the evils” of America, including capitalism, Cullors goes on to say that BLM will begin focusing on attaining public office at the local, state, and federal levels.
One of the biggest places that I see us will be in local and national government. I think you’ll see, not just black people, but black folks and our allies really pushing to be a part of local government, city government and national government — to move to be mayor, county board of supervisors, to be on boards.
The LA Times interviewer didn’t do any follow-up during this interview (or if so, it wasn’t in the published version). One might expect follow-ups like “can you give me an example of how Trump has acted like Hitler in targeting and killing black communities?” or “on what platform would BLM candidates run for office?”; there are none. Of course.
Twitter had a field day with Cullors’ hyperbolic Hitler nonsense:

In other words "We don't want to work things out to resolution, we'd rather further divide the country."

I am not a Trump fan but that quote is absurd.

Cullors, on MSNBC, declared that the First Amendment does not protect “hate speech.”
The Washington Free Beacon reports:
The activist’s remarks came two weeks after she defiantly claimed on MSNBC that neo-Nazi speech is not protected under the U.S. Constitution.
“Hate speech, which is what we’re seeing coming out of white nationalists groups, is not protected under the First Amendment rights,” she said.
Cullors was incorrect; hate speech is granted the same constitutional protections as all other forms of speech.
That principle was recently upheld in June in the case of Matal v. Tam, when the Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the government cannot deny trademarks to brand names it finds offensive.
The LA Times set out to find out where BLM went and why its influence has cratered, and it seems that they got the answer to that question. Inadvertently, they also found out why, at least in part, Trump won.

The man’s only been president for 9 months, not enough time for an assault by him. The left has been whipped up into a frenzy of illogic by people who can’t deal with reality (or don’t want the blame for their loss).
Diamond and Silk have the right answer for that Liar.
(Gee, look, Hitler’s grown dreadlocks now!)

I’m jealous of their neighbors.
Remember, the complaints about how awful Trump’s policies are are coming from some of the same people who mock the chaos within his administration and claim that he hasn’t accomplished anything.
Well, which is it? Is he throwing grandma down a flight of stairs, or has he yet found neither grandma nor the stairs? Can’t have it both ways.
Democrats have been ruling and destroying black communities for decades. Open your eyes, sweetheart. The problem isn’t Trump.
Annndd, here we have an example of a BLM Founder dressed in fashionable clothing, well groomed and cosmetics applied perfectly. Now, who designed her apparel and created/produced her makeup? How much did all this cost?
Never forget the greatest evil in our world is capitalism. NEVER FORGET … NEVER …
Certainly not any design houses based in Harare or Ekot Ekpene
It wasn’t Michelle Obama, that’s for sure. At least they learned that lesson.

Patrisse Cullors gives true ‘depth of understanding’ to mentally abused wacko. Jehovah Witness in her youth, kicked out of the house because she was queer (her words) at 16, a degree in religion (which could mean anything), invested herself in Nigerian witchcraft (divination, idolatry, Spiritism, Voodoo roots, etc.). Is there such a thing as ‘evil’ people? I think so, and I think she’s working on her Associates of Arts degree for that knowledge base. This woman is seriously messed up.
Ignorant woman! If he was “Hitler” neither she nor her mob of BLM anarchists would be alive to take the meeting. The damage done to the black community has always been done by white Democrats and now, by other blacks, with no prompting by anyone else.
True, true.
“Ignorant woman…”
Man,that’s the understatement of the day.
Or maybe she’s not that ignorant – and is a malicious manipulator of racial hatred for purposes of gaining power.
Sounds like Hitler.
These rabid leftists – if they do nothing else, they are textbook examples of projection.
As for her qualifications to speak on anything: she is the founder of black lives matter. That alone DQs her from any intelligent discussion.
“One of the biggest places that I see us will be in local and national government. I think you’ll see, not just black people, but black folks and our allies really pushing to be a part of local government, city government and national government — to move to be mayor, county board of supervisors, to be on boards.”
Yes, it is really a shame that black people have never held elective office in this country.
…or that there’s no very clear…dismal…record of their governance.
Not to suggest that black people govern poorly. but that Collectivist do.
Rags, I’ve lived in 5 different African countries (am living in my 5th one now), only one governed by collectivists (post-apartheid South Africa 20 years after Mandela), and I wish that I could agree with your statement, but that’s not been my experience. The governance in all of them has been abysmal, and parasitic upon the guilt of the Western nations, especially the US, which never had a colony here.
They’ve all drunk the Marxist Kool-Aid, so it’s hard to separate out damage by culture and ideology
I do think it’s fair to blame the colonial legacy for this – the European countries did nothing to engender any systems of self rule, instead they instituted rule by a disconnected bureaucracy that was easily coopted by the Strong Men.
Similar thing has happened in South America – I’m not the first to observe that the last time any South American nation had a competent, functional government was when the Inca’s ruled in Cuzco.
Botswana is the exception that proves black Africans are perfectly capable of governing themselves and building a decent country. The fact that so many other African countries were misgoverned and turned into hellholes is therefore not attributable to this cause.
Yes, I agree that Botswana is the exception, and the only one I’ve witnessed (only as a visitor, though). They’ve embraced free markets and political freedom. Amazing what those two little things can accomplish.
Did not mean to do wn vote you big fingers ,small screen
That’s a scary thought: Hang Johnsons, Maxine Waters, Barbara Lees, Al Sharptons, Obamas, etc. — all grossly underqualified, corrupt people useless in the private sector, seeking to enlarge and then usurp power in our bureacracy solely based on their race, looking to enslave the rest of us.
No wonder leftist radicals are trying to manipulate the white Confederacy as an evil villain: they’re trying to distract from the leftist Confederacy they’re trying to create to enslave the country.
Slavery in this country did not die with the Confederacy: it was reborn with the election of obama.
I live in Charleston, SC. In the past week, one BLACK guy shot and killed two white women during a bank robbery. AND — one BLACK man shot and killed a white chef at a nice restaurant right in the heart of downtown.
Any commentary from the left and/or the Black community over the loss of life of these three fine, innocent people? Sound of crickets …
Racist.
“BLM”‘s exquisite moral code:
“We wouldn’t meet with Hitler, but, in the interest of condemning “intersectional” oppression practiced by our white colonial Israeli oppressors, we will gladly meet with our oppressed, Jew-hating brothers and sisters from Fatah, Hamas and Hezb’Allah!”
Yes, I propose that the black thugs scare the living ‘$hit’ out of most people, especially anyone caught up in some sort of riot. The only defense is grab a shotgun and shelter in place. Other than that, don’t anger the black community unnecessarily – there are stability issues amongst the populace.
Interesting that the media seems to whitewash (can I say that?) the “platform” of the BLM movement. If you read their materials or really listen to them talk, they are full-on-flucking-nuts.
Heh, yes, you can say “whitewash.” Heck, I still use “racially-loaded” terms like “pure as the driven snow” (snow is WHITE so omg, only white people are pure!).
I’ve decided to stop caring what RAAACIST! dog whistles are ascribed to everything and anything non-leftists say. It really doesn’t matter what we say, it’s always going to be RAAAACIST to the regressive left. Trying to be “nice” and “respectful” got us nowhere . . . unless you count our wondering aloud if saying “whitewash” is okay as somewhere. 😛
Hold on to your white hats, I might even say something truly outrageous like the dreaded and RAAACIST terms “cut taxes” or “states’ rights”!
The whole Black Lives Matter gang is based on blatant lies, who cares who they won’t meet with? The Democrat Convention gave voice to them, and is complicit with the lie.
The dinosaur media is being dishonest by not reporting the truth of this bunch of thugs. True bullies. They imply if you don’t kowtow to them, you must be racist!
No, if you don’t kowtow to them, you are an enemy to be destroyed.
The big lie of ‘blm’ is based on the ‘big lie’ theory of Hitler:
Hitler On The Big Lie
http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/hitler-on-the-big-lie
Fascists do learn from each other.
BLM and Antifa: the Genocide Guys.
And, beyond the obvious absurdity and speciousness of the Trump-Hitler comparison — along with its inherent downplaying and trivializing of the uniqueness and full gravity of Hitler’s crimes — is an even more glaring, odious and contemptible hypocrisy, inasmuch as the “Black Lives Matters” twits have very vocally aligned themselves with Hamas, Hezb’allah, Fatah and all manner of Islamic terrorist groups and sympathizers who have dedicated themselves very explicitly to the goal of Israel’s destruction and the slaughtering of all Jews, on behalf of the “Palestinians.”
As if more proof was needed to demonstrate the vile ignorance, hypocrisy and moral bankruptcy of the “BLM” idiots.
Believing that objectivity is impossible, they did not try to reason about political questions. Believing that a man is nothing in the face of the community, they did not concern themselves with an opponent’s individual rights. Committed to actions based on feeling, they responded to disagreement by unstopping their fury.
The students launched violent mass demonstrations on campus. They invaded the classes of unpopular professors. They gathered in jeering mobs outside lecture halls. They rushed hotly into head-smashing brawls and cooly instigated bloody riots, both of which soon became routine…
When the defenders of one besieged professor appealed to authorities for help (from a government official, he was)
“promised that he (the official) would not give in, that the professor had the full protection of the government. The excited students committed excesses in the lecture building, prevented students who wanted to attend from coming to classes by bodily force – and got away with it…the students who wanted to stand up for him were threatened and ill-treated.”
“(Students) broke up classrooms, invaded university campuses, broke shop windows. The liberals…sprang to the defense of the youth. They labeled any police action against them as ‘brutality.’”
*****
America? Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington? No. a description of the actions of pro-Hitler youth in Weimar Germany and in Austria in the late 1920s and early 1930s. (The “liberals” mentioned above were “liberals of Berlin and Vienna,” because “liberals” were pro-Hitler, and against the “conservatism” of Prussians and the Junker class. Our liberal/conservative dichotomy does not apply.)
So, who are the fascists and Hitlerites?
The above is from The Cause of Hitler’s Germany by Leonard Peikoff, the content of which was first published in his Ominous Parallels in 1982.
““BLM” idiots….”
No, not idiots. At least no the leaders. These are fascists seeking power. They wear obama’s recycled media diaper, full of crap as it is.
And with the likes of corrupt rats like McConnell, McCain, Ryan etc. in Congress going along to keep their own privilege, we fight them alone save for Donald Trump.
Fair enough, but, I’m sure that you’d also agree that fascists can simultaneously be idiots. Fascism and idiocy are definitely not mutually exclusive concepts, and, it could reasonably be posited that idiocy is a prerequisite for being a fascist.
Calling for the deaths of our law enforcement officers did NOT gain BLM any popularity with sane VOTERS/people. Imo, they should be designated as a terrorist group. Now, they have a list of 10 demands/”requests” that white people hand over their homes/property to “brown and black” people. Why? Are they not capable of earning things for themselves, but rather still choosing to continue using their VICTIM card for the rest of their lives? This nutcase BLM speaker posted out a list of 10 “requests” for white – in order to bring about ‘equality’. What a joke. http://www.libertyheadlines.com/black-lives-matter-activist-demands-white-people-give-home/
Linda,
Nah, they should be mocked and laughed at and fingers pointed at for the joke they are. That would destroy them much faster and at a much cheaper cost.

More importantly, mock and boycott the corporations sending BLM money to destroy the nation.
BLM cares nothing for their identified representative group, black Americans. They only care about power and influence, and as some civil rights groups showed us dead presidents. When the only people who the organization can find to support are criminals, most violent, they are ludicrous.
Take these people seriously.
Early Warnings: How American Journalists Reported the Rise of Hitler: “What did Americans think of Hitler when they first met him in the 1920s and 1930s? You write that some of them burst out laughing at his shrill voice and jerky hand movements and refused to take him seriously. That’s true. In fact, some of the first people who met him did take him quite seriously. Truman Smith, who was a junior military attaché in the 1920s, came away from meeting Hitler and said, “This is a marvelous demagogue who can really inspire loyalty.” It was the same with Karl von Wiegand, a Hearst correspondent who was the first American journalist to interview Hitler back in 1922. He was struck by Hitler’s oratorical skills and his ability to whip people into a frenzy…”

Here we go again. Keep your powder dry and your support for Trump unwaivering.
Now, THERE is the confession of a cultist.
Trump should declare both Antifa and Black Lies Matter terrorist groups.
They sure are.
He turned us into newts!
Don’t worry, the invitation is not in the mail, and never will be.
