“Dismantle the nuclear family” ... “currently one of the stated goals of BLM”

This is patent nonsense. Why would you ever believe that’s the goal of any widely supported organization? What happened to Occam’s razor?

The absurdity of this claim inspired me to “do my own research” on the matter.

The notion that this is a “goal” seems to stem from this portion of the “what we believe” page here:

https://blacklivesmatter.com/what-we-believe/

> We make our spaces family-friendly and enable parents to fully participate with their children. We dismantle the patriarchal practice that requires mothers to work ‘double shifts’ so that they can mother in private even as they participate in public justice work. > > We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and ‘villages’ that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable.

Family friendly spaces and supporting each other as extended families are hardly “dismantling the nuclear family”.
