Not Woke Enough: Why BLM Up in Arms Against Harris’ Endorsement by Democrats?
Black Lives Matter has urged the Democratic National Committee to "immediately" host an informal snap primary across the US "to create a process that allows for public participation in the nomination process" of Kamala Harris.
US-based pressure group Black Lives Matter has slammed the way VP Kamala Harris has been named as the presumed Democratic presidential candidate in a public statement.
"A 24-hour process of talking to party bosses is not democratic, nor is it a process Democrats should be proud of," the BLM said in a statement.
Installing Harris as the Democratic nominee "without any public voting process would make the modern Democratic Party a party of hypocrites," the group claimed, warning that "this blatant disregard for democratic principles is unacceptable."
The movement accused Democratic Party elites and billionaire donors of trying "to manipulate Black voters by anointing Harris and an unknown vice president as the new Democratic ticket without a primary vote by the public."
Harris announced on Tuesday that she had secured enough Democratic votes to become the party's nominee for the November 2024 election. This came after Biden said last Sunday that he was dropping out of the race because he decided it was in the best interest of the Democratic Party and the United States.
He endorsed Harris as the Democratic Party's nominee for US president, which she accepted. The Democratic National Convention is slated to take place in Chicago from August 19 to 22, a gathering where Democratic delegates are due to officially appoint
their candidate to face Donald Trump.
In 2020, BLM, which stands against racially motivated violence toward black people, organized nationwide protests following the death of African-American
George Floyd, who passed away in police custody in Minneapolis in 2020. Some of the protests were marred by looting, arson and vandalism.
