My latest in PJ Media:
It is, or ought to be, clear to everyone by now that Black Lives Matter is not a genuine movement for racial justice and a more equitable society, but a Marxist organization using real, exaggerated, and imagined racial injustice to try to destroy the United States. Anyone who is still in doubt about this should consider the fact that some blacks are still enslaved today, and Black Lives Matter never has and never will say a word about it, because that organization doesn’t really care about black lives.
If they did actually care about the lives of black people, Black Lives Matter would today be drawing international attention to statements made recently by the Mauritanian anti-slavery activist Maryam Bint Al-Sheikh of the Initiative for the Resurgence of the Abolitionist Movement (IRA). According to the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), Maryam Bint Al-Sheikh stated in a June 18 interview: “Unfortunately, there is still slavery in Mauritania. More than 20% of people in Mauritania suffer from slavery – a situation where a person owns another person and does whatever he wants with him at any given moment. This situation exists here in Mauritania, unfortunately.”
Al-Sheikh further explained that slaves are often even “bequeathed from father to son. A person can own a slave and when that person dies, his children inherit the slave, who is later bequeathed to the grandchildren. This thing exists in Mauritania, unfortunately.” Even worse, “anyone who speaks out is considered a criminal whose natural place in in jail. Until not so long ago, [whoever spoke up] would have been killed.”
As an anti-slavery activist, Al-Sheikh has experienced this herself: “I was arrested and tortured multiple times. I was tortured both mentally and physically. The last time I was arrested, I had a 1.5-year-old baby. They separated us by force. And they weaned him. The Mauritanian state weaned my baby – a 1.5-year-old baby. He was weaned. And they prevented me from seeing him, and they wouldn’t let my husband or relatives visit me.”
Maryam Bint Al-Sheikh’s story is just one of innumerable such accounts. Why does Mauritania continually drag its feet about eradicating slavery, and persecute anti-slavery activists? The dirty little secret here is that it is because slavery is sanctioned in Islam.
There is much more. Read the rest here.

On the topic of the real spirit of Islam toward black people, two Christians who are also authors revealed in the book about the prophet and founder of Islam, Muhammad, the person who all Muslims greatly admire and view and a perfect example for them to emulate was man that “He personally owned two ‘black slave…he endorsed sex slavery as a gift from Allah.. In the every next page of that same book I also informs the reader that “Islam had enslaved more people than any other culture.” [1]
Likewise , a scholar on Islam who is an Arab woman and speakers and reads Arabic and uses to live in one the those countries on the Middle East had exposes in her book that the prophet of Islam ,Muhammad referred to Blacks as “ ‘raisin heads’ several time in the hadith [1:663:9:256]”Her book also reveals that “Throughout the hadith blacks are also referred to as abeds, which means ‘black in Arabic and is also synonymous with the word “slave’ and filth.” In fact ,Arab Muslims have enslaved blacks for 1,400 years and the Black slave trade iss till thriving in Sudan and Mauritania.” Further in her same book the author reveals that “Most interesting, though, is the even though black slavery by Muslims began long ago , almost no descends of those slaves are alive today in the Muslim world. Why is there no black culture in the Middle East ? Most slaves were either killed or died from being worked to death.” [2]

Good post.
Jerome B Bigge says
The American “Left” isn’t a “left” that favors freedom. So far as Islam is concerned, life for a woman under Islam is far worse than it ever was in the Soviet Union. So “better `red’ than Muslim”. There are numerous photos I’ve seen on the Internet showing women attired in “Western clothing” in countries like Egypt and Afghanistan. Also Iraq and Iran. Women in these countries are worse off today than they were living under the supposed tyranny of Saddam and Shah of Iran. While it appears that one of Saddam’s sons was a rapist, still women overall were better off before Gulf War 1. Perhaps even before Gulf War 2.
It is “interesting” how Islamic slavery is “swept under the rug” when it is likely as bad if not worse than the slavery practiced in the American South prior to the Civil War. Also Islamic slavery is based upon “religion” and apparently any non-Muslim can be enslaved (as was the practice back in the 18th Century). This is where we get the part in the Marine anthem “to the shores of Tripoli” when American marines from our navy (sailing navy) invaded Tripoli to attempt to free Americans held there as slaves by the ruler of the time.

How can Blacks even stop their oppression if they don’t acknowledge their Oppression by the Demoicrats? The Democrats have taken the BLM brand to steal their dionations while helping the Democrats by voting for them. The BLM website has no donation status of a 501 (c) 3 but the ACT BLUE Payment platform does, and the Big Corporations have been dumping money into the BLM website knowing full well that those donations goes to the ACT BLUE Democratic Money Laundering under the guise that they are donating to the Black Lives Matter movement. Those three Black girls are not blacks and do not support the Black, but they sure do hide their main Agenda. They are Highly trained Marxist that know how to divide and conquer. They are there to enslave blacks not set them free. Research the BLM and the ACT BLUE websites and also check out the financials and see where the money goes.
LB says
Yep. BLM is nothing more than a money funnel for the Democrats. One of its founding members–Susan Rosenberg, a member of May 19th Communist organisation–is a literal terrorist, convicted for series of bombings in the 80’s. She was originally sentenced to 58 years in prison, but her sentence was cut short to only 16 years by none other than………… drum roll please………………. everyone’s favorite rapist: Bill Clinton! And he did it on the very last day in office. No connection to the democrats there! lol
Keith O says
Blacks Loving Marxism don’t care about this sort of thing.
All they want to do is destroy western civilizations so that they can create the perfect Marxist paradise, (hell).
And of course they will use anyone in the process. Doesn’t matter if your a Christian, a Mudslime, Black, white or brindle you are fair game.

Keith O says,
Yes, the BLM movement is Marxist.
Yet many whites automatically assume that BLM is a civil rights organization – and should be “respected”.
Useful idiots…

Fighting against foreign slavery doesn’t get any free stuff, another Affirmative Action, or possible “reparations”. It never was about current slavery. It’s about undermining the meritocracy and replacing it with, “equality of outcome”. Marxism.

Correct, they are called “useful idiots.”
Further, with the left, the issue is never the issue, it’s the narrative that matters.

The only thing that this video has wrong is that Mauritania is “Slavery’s Last Stronghold”. Probably a larger part of the population is enslaved there than anywhere else, up to 20%, but slavery also continues in Yemen, Sudan, and Saudi Arabia–and likely many other parts of the Muslim world.
Interesting that one of the very first things the “Caliphate”–the Islamic State–did was to reinstate slavery and sex slavery.

Well put.
Not a word about black slavery going on right now or a word about all the black people who have died recently in Chicago and around the nation.
Only the blacks killed by police, which is a very small percentage of all the black deaths.

Also true, J–no word about Blacks dying in gang and street crime.

Why Isn’t Black Lives Matter Protesting the Slavery That Still Exists Today?
……………
Damn good question. The answer is because they are not really about human rights for Black people at all.
revereridesagain says
They have no actual conception of the meaning of “rights”. And they certainly do not care about the right of anyone else to exist. The mayor of Melrose, Marxachusetts, took down a traffic sign today that said “The Safety of All Lives Matters”. So, many of us have been officially informed that no attention will be paid if we choose to walk in front of a truck in his town. We’ll just be ignored like squished squirrels.
The Left is a monstrosity.

And what are the residents going to do about it? Just take it?
The mayor is a representative of the people. You pay him. If the people have any guts at all they will make his life miserable until he puts the sign back up.

Yeah–even by the standards of comic books, I’m afraid Wakanda requires a lot of suspension of disbelief.
There is nothing even vaguely like it in reality.

Jayell says
To repeat my normal question; ‘Black Lives Matter’ – to whom? Look at the urban murder statistics all around the world, look at what the locals have been doing to each other for centuries (at least) throughout the entire African continent (not just Mauritania) and you seem to get a very interesting answer to the question as to whom ‘Black Lives DON’T Matter’. Then the whole thing is seen as the incredibly fatuous self-promoting fraud that it actually is, with or without the Marxists. And that’s the easiest way to earn universal contempt when the pretending and the lame excuses have to stop.

One of the founds of BLM is indeed Muslim.
OLD GUY says
How or why a black person would become a follower of islam is an interesting Question. The Muslim/islamic world is promoting black and white slavery throughout its teaching and actions. Yet millions of blacks are becoming followers of Muhammads teachings and support sharia law which makes it legal to have slaves.
Then there is the question of why a black women or for that matter any women would follow islam, a religion that allows child brides, sex slavery and puts a women at half the worth of males in the eyes of Allah and the law. Where are the protests against the ideology and actions of the male dominate islamic teachings? The whole christian world should be protesting and fighting the discrimination against women and the sex slavery position that islam promotes.

Black Lives Matter do not protest the shooting of blacks among blacks in Chicago or Baltimore.

John Allan says
Oh, it goes beyond the U.S! These idiots are determined to impose their moronic ideology on civilised nations around the world.
Governments need to make clear to the BLM that their lives matter no more than those of any other colour … and treat them accordingly!
LR says
Yes, that’s right. I think it’s important to go out and challenge these naive, and ignorant younger people following the BLM movement in a very logical manner.
It’s all the politicians that are going along with this PC crud, and allowing the ruination of parts of their cities that need to be given a hard time.
We need to hold the Politicos feet to the fire. Murder, and crime rates are going up in some of these cities where they are ‘defunding the police.’
So where are the people who support good policing, and don’t want their communities going downhill?
Why aren’t they protesting?
Why aren’t the idiot politicians allowing the destruction of historical sculptures, and dismantling of police getting sh*t?
It’s the passivity, fear, and apathy of too many people that is allowing a lot of this madness to continue.
