What has ‘Black Lives Matter’ done?

All ‘Black Lives Matters’ has done is created a Philosopher’s Legacy, a cache of funds built on the fame of black death that is unavailable not only to the families whose members have been martyred, not only to the communities that have been ravaged by white supremacists and police, but also to, as Glen Ford points out (and which harkens back to Malcolm X’s comments about how all protests do is create more dead and incarcerated) to the countless political prisoners who have never been included in the movement in large. All Black Lives Matter has done is allowed a select few grifters and clout chasers to get rich and cozy up to power, mirroring the Amerikan state’s tactics of putting down slave revolt, of black uprising, of black liberation. Samaria Rice shows us the way in part by requiring that these betrayers be held accountable and answer the question: what is black liberation? Because it certainly is not ‘Black Lives Matter.’
