With the Black Lives Matter methodology faltering as the proverbial rubber hits the proverbial road, it's inevitable that more and more people who sympathize with or were part of the movement are going to start to turn away from it. Whether it's a political aisle or a religion, one thing that can create non-believers quickly is hypocrisy. It's one thing to preach an idea, and a completely different thing to practice it, and those who follow will always watch those who preach very closely. Now, some of BLM's biggest critics are the very people that the movement says it represents, but black people are starting to realize that BLM doesn't have their best interests in mind.
Case in point, there have been very public callouts from the mothers of Tamir Rice and Breonna Taylor.
When asked about the resignation of BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors following the reveal of her millions of dollars in real estate
investment, Samaria Rice, the mother of Tamir, who was killed by a cop in 2014,
told the
New York Post, "I don't believe she's going anywhere. It's all a facade. She's only saying that to get the heat off her right now." Together with Lisa Simpson, the mother of Richard Risher, killed by police in 2016, Rice previously lashed out at BLM.
