“I am writing to you with a suggestion that Black Lives Matter (BLM)
consider establishing a formal independent political party. The party
could be founded on the principle articulated by the founding members of
the Congressional Black Caucus in 1971,” the memo states. “That formative principle stated, “Black people have no permanent friends, no permanent enemies.…just permanent interests.”
The effort to create an independent Black party, created specifically to address Black issues, is not a new idea among Black people.
“There are many people, both Black and white who believe that independent parties can make a significant contribution to the current political
system as to how this nation of 300 million diverse citizens can be
governed in the best interest of all Americans,” Johnson continues. “Many pundits will try to convince you that it is impossible for independent
parties to exist in this country. They will argue that the American
people seem to be satisfied with just two choices. To the contrary, I
believe a politically astute and structured Black independent party,
committed and engaged in the electoral process, can prove them wrong.”

“The party in my opinion, for me personally, has moved too far to the left,” he said an interview on BET. “And for that reason, I don’t have a particular candidate (I’m supporting) in the party at this time. I think
at the end of the day, if a Democrat is going to beat Trump, then that
person, he or she, will have to move to the center and you can’t wait too long to do that.”
Johnson believes a BLM political party would work because the movement for African Americans today is the strongest its been since the civil rights movement of the 1960s.
“I am confident in this assertion because BLM has, in a manner not seen
since the civil rights movement, effectively mobilized and passionately motivated people, Black and white, to join in and support your righteous
fight against racial and economic injustice, particularly on the matter of unjustified police killing of Black people,” Johnson wrote. “Your cause
has triggered a determined reaction calling for change, heard not only in America, but around the world.”
Johnson also believes Black Lives Matter gives a voice to more than 40
million black Americans that will not choose money over the needs of the people, something both the Democratic and Republican parties have been
accused of.
“Black Lives Matter, by establishing an independent political party can become a force dedicated to advancing the permanent interests of 40
million Black Americans in this country,” Johnson wrote.
“BLM is endowed with the hope and confidence of youth, fortified with the knowledge of what is wrong and what must be made right, and has the
courage to challenge power, no matter what the risk. The purpose of this
memo is to encourage you to harness these forces and think about what you
have ignited and how it can and should, through the political process,
cause America to truly live up to its belief in American exceptionalism
and its promise of the American Dream for all.”
### - well lol here we go! - at last! :)))
and is about bloody time too??
with the advent of this, and i really hope it happens because it needs to happen, left & right can just forget tryin' to get the black-vote ever
again LOL, they being liable to get sooo many votes on a completely
consistent basis (more consistent than the conservatives for example, and they's pretty consistent!) that no doubt they'd actually start winning elections before long?
they'll have to watch out though for problems (like assassinations and lynchings?) from both the left & the right as they're slowly (or even
rapidly) pushed right out to the fringe where these days they basically
all belong: in the minority! - ALL of them so totally systemically corrupt
by now there's prolly no coming back from there, this otoh being the basis
for a political party/movement that could even sweep the globe!
how fabulous that would be? a real chance for some real hope for the
betterment of mankind as a whole instead of only for the privileged few?
an I N D E P E N D A N T party! one that at least has the 'potential' to
rise above all the crap everyone's so used to accepting?
plenty whites (myself included) would defo actively vote for them hah!
oh boy, this is actually getting interesting now??
'coz HERE'S summat that could REALLY fuckin' change the world for the
better!
plus no need for all you white conservatives out there to start shitting yourselves either (although god knows you prolly actually deserve to heh)
'coz am sure you'll find that BLACK people are actually far more HUMANE & understanding than us whites ever were!
as a consequence they'll be FAR kinder to us than we ever were to them!
oh that i should live long enough to actually see something like that
arise in the world?
and because these people have a vision we singularly lack!
a vision that can actually lead us ALL out of the darkness and into the
light of sanity :)
