Did BLM help or destroy communities

The answer is BLM destroyed themselves, their communities, and their credibility. 

Since 2020 there have been hundreds upon hundreds of riots in our cities that resulted in businesses being looted and burned, vehicles set on fire, and caused ultimate havoc and fear within the communities all because of rioters under the name of Black Lives Matter. It’s ironic that Hollywood celebrities voiced their support and even donated thousands upon thousands of dollars to the group called Black Lives Matter which claimed they were an advocacy group to help inner city blacks gain respect from police and elected officials. I found it quite funny that once the news broke that the founders of the Black Lives Matter Group were using that money for their own personal use like buying expensive homes in Los Angeles and high-dollar cars and jewelry, those same celebrities were quietly demanding their money back. After all, they donated that money to help the cause rebuild the inner cities that BLM torched and robbed right? When they realized they were taken for their almighty dollar their woke racist attitude went out the window and they turned White and wanted their money back.

So how much did the Black Lives Matter movement cost the taxpayers anyway? How about over 60 million dollars and they raised over 90 million in donations. Did the inner cities see any of that donated money, nope not one penny went to black or Hispanic business owners who lost inventory, their hard-earned money, and storefronts due to the riots that they previously supported.  After all the true racists in this whole matter weren’t the whites who the rioters complained about, instead it was those black rioting members and those woke white liberal friends wearing those expensive BLM t-shirts. Just because something has a black label on it doesn’t mean it’s good for you. Black community members were being used by the democrats for their own political agenda, yet no one in the community used their brains to realize they were being used. Wake up and open your eyes, people.

It is truly horrible to realize that so many small businesses were destroyed even though they had boarded up their storefront and slapped a sign on those boarded-up storefronts saying black-owned or Hispanic-owned small business and they were still targeted, robbed, and burned to the ground. Many of those small businesses suffered severe losses and their lives were up-ended never to be reopened again because they didn’t have the means to rebuild. The money BLM raised could have helped them with a financial grant to reimburse them for the costs they inflicted upon those businesses, but BLM couldn’t be bothered to help their own out in their time of need. Guess what those small businesses are still on the hook for the rent of those establishments even though their business was destroyed by their so-called righteous brothers and sisters standing up for the Black Lives Matter Movement. Talk about disappointment to the community when your own eats you alive and turns its back on you when you need help. No wonder these communities will never be revitalized unless some fancy investor comes in and buys up the real estate and develops it into high-rise condo’s that no one in the community can afford and is forced to move. Way to go, Black Lives Matters, no one ever taught you about economics and inner-city infrastructure stabilization huh?
