I don't know. I've seen videos the actual leadership that made that exact statement.
?The first thing, I think, is that we actually do have an ideological frame. Myself and Alicia in particular are trained organizers,? [Patrisse Cullors] said, referring to BLM co-founder Alicia Garza.
?We are trained Marxists. We are super-versed on, sort of, ideological theories. And I think that what we really tried to do is build a movement that could be utilized by many, many black folk.?
Or their own website that says:
"In 2013, three radical Black organizers ? Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi ? created a Black-centered political will and movement building project called #BlackLivesMatter. It was in response to the acquittal of Trayvon Martin?s murderer, George Zimmerman."
Anyone with even a little curiosity can find this.
