In some ways I agree as he is clearly racist. But I think BLM share a lot in common with authoritarian right wing groups.
A Black racist, now that is going against the MSM narrative.

Judging from their website, BLM aren't endorsing Trump (search results), or Harris, though they don't seem averse to the idea of the first black woman president.
... While the potential outcome of a Harris presidency may be historic, the process to achieve it must align with true democratic values. ...
D’Zhane Parker, a Black Lives Matter leader, said: “Black Lives Matter is independent of any political party. We focus on fighting racial and economic injustices that impact Black communities. While we may back policies that align with our goals, our commitment is to the liberation of Black people. This independence allows us to hold all political entities accountable and stay true to our mission without party influence.” ...
Let us be clear: This is about the Democratic Party following a process that protects the legitimacy of any future Democratic president following this unprecedented moment. Installing Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee and an unknown vice president without any public voting process would make the modern Democratic Party a party of hypocrites. It would undermine their credibility on issues related to democracy. Imagine our first Black woman president not having won some sort of public nomination process. The pundits would immediately label it as affirmative action or a DEI move, and any progress made by a President Harris would be on shaky foundations. If Kamala Harris is to be the nominee, it must be through a process that upholds democratic principles and public participation. ...
Shalomyah Bowers, a Black Lives Matter leader, said: “This is not an attack on Kamala Harris or Black women, and right now we aren’t questioning Kamala’s qualifications or capabilities. This is about the nominating process. ...
We demand a transparent and fair virtual snap primary to allow for a democratic selection of the nominee. ...

I still can't see Harris winning the Black votes. In some hoods they pretty much have a colour chart, if there is some white in you or you're dating a white guy/girl you are treated as a leper.

Republicans certainly made a big mistake defining age and capacity as the defining matter in the election, when you look at the elderly half-wit fronting their campaign...
