#BLM: It’s a mistake to think more and better racism will help – IRR
21 July 2020
‘The mistake in BLM ideology is not that racism doesn’t exist. It does. The mistake is to think more and better racism will help the situation.’
This is the core message in the report released today by the Institute of Race Relations (IRR), Because #BlackLivesMatter, What institutions need to know about the BLM Global Network, and of the online briefing this morning with the author, IRR analyst and researcher Gabriel Crouse.
The report analyses the origins, ideology and strategies of the BLM movement, and dwells in detail on analyses of claims of racial bias in policing in the United States, and the self-professed Marxist ideological underpinnings of the movement itself.
Crouse writes: “Given BLM’s indifference to facts, its demonstrably horrific effects, and its 19th century German ideology of inhumanism, its animus to wealth, and its call for total social upheaval, one may wonder why South African private institutions would throw their endorsement BLM’s way.”
