I can provide much more links; BLM wants separate government, budget, no police intervention... I think we all get it.

> To carve out a safe space on campus where black students can get support from people who look like them and share similar backgrounds

> That’s one reason another institution, the University of Connecticut, earlier this year announced a living community specifically for black men.... the school pointed out that young men of all backgrounds will be permitted to apply to the living community,

I think this is just a word-game and schools are backpedaling to remove ugly word 'segregation'. But in reality 99.9% people in those safe-spaces will be black.

It is nice they do something for men, but it will not help unless underlying sexism is solved.

Please do.

I can't find any official BLM source that makes this statement or anything similar.

>I think we all get it.

You "get" what you went in search of in the first place.

About page: "...goes beyond the narrow nationalism that can be prevalent within Black communities, which merely call on Black people to love Black, live Black and buy Black"
you've created an awfully scary world for yourself
I dont live in america.
So...why do you think you have enough context about their messages to condemn them?
