'You are eating on stolen land': BLM launches Thanksgiving diatribe sparking social media backlash









What a joke! 

With all that is going on across the country right now (Flash mobs galore) BLM has the audacity to lecture us on stolen property? 





Speaking of stolen that's exactly what happened to the taxpayers who for decades have been footing the bill for welfare checks, section 8, food stamps, Obama phones, Medicaid, etc.

Where do they think this money comes from... just falls from the sky?


BTW... On Thanksgiving where do thousands of  blacks get their turkey dinner? I'll tell you where. Through donations to feed the hungry. From people like me who are hated.

Black Lives Matter sparked furious backlash on social media after an anti-Thanksgiving tweet that claimed that Americans were eating their holiday meals on 'stolen land.'


On Thanksgiving Thursday the social activism group's official Twitter slammed American's across the country gathering to celebrate the holiday.

When it first launched in 2013, BLM sought to bring attention to and prevent police violence against African Americans


'You are on stolen land. Colonization never ended, it just became normalized,' a graphic with a link to help people find which 'ancestral homeland' they are 'currently occupying' said. 


The link was to Native Land Digital, a digital map that allows people to see the indigenous history of the land they currently inhabit. 


Discussing Native American people who had their land taken by settlers has become an increasingly popular topic during Thanksgiving, with some progressives now keen to discount the annual event as a celebration of colonialism and racism. 


But the post rubbed many the wrong way and some on social media said Black Lives Matter's message was itself 'racist', while also calling out the group for being hypocritical.


Are these 5 homes on #stolenland?' one person tweeted referring to reports that BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors has used her vast earnings as a consultant to purchase multiple luxury homes while preaching Marxist ideas. 


Another person tweeted: 'Fanning the flames of racism. This is the true insurrection, but no one can say anything about it without being chastised and canceled. What a privilege that must be.'


Someone else said the group spreads hate: 'BLM espouses hateful, racist stupidity, utterly ignorant of history & wisdom. BLM professes hate for the very Christian-Judaea values key to this country’s prosperity. Instead, BLM should be grateful for USA’s freedoms, even to be stupid, as is my right to call them on it.' 


BLM has been a constant source of controversy over the years. 


In July the Utah chapter of the Black Lives Matter movement sparked anger on social media during independence Day weekend after it posted a message on Facebook calling the American flag a ‘symbol of hate.’


That same month, the group as blamed the 'cruel and inhumane' US for unrest in Cuba, as the activists praised the Communist regime, sparking furious backlash 


BLM accused the US of causing the instability with its embargoes which have caused 'pain and suffering' for Cubans for 60 years in the message which was branded 'worse than embarrassing'.


When it first launched in 2013, BLM sought to bring attention to and prevent police violence against African Americans.


Today, it describes its mission as one that will 'eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on Black communities by the state and vigilantes'. 


Supporters say the organization is finally correcting decades of injustice and rebalancing the scales. Critics say they are trying to rewrite history and erase any indicator of white success, particularly in America.
