Black Lives Matter Plaza is an unquestionable stain on our country’s history. Naming a section of Washington, D.C., after Black Lives Matter was always a horrible idea.

It was predicated on radical Democrat-led racial hysteria and the agenda-driven lie that police indiscriminately kill black people, and it was named after a corrupt organization that capitalized on a wave of anti-police sentiment in the wake of George Floyd’s death. But BLM’s house of cards has fully collapsed, and it’s time to correct the egregious mistake of Black Lives Matter Plaza.

It was initially created as an act of defiance after the rioting and looting in 2020, based on the disinformation that police indiscriminately kill black people. The mural was a visual representation of saying “no more” to these alleged injustices.

But like the majority of BLM’s existence, it was all based on a lie. The organization spent years riling up people under the false political narrative of police shootings. However, numerous studies debunked the claims about police shootings, and other inquiries into the group revealed the fraudulent way BLM spent its donations.

The latest controversy surrounding the organization was a public declaration of support for Hamas’s horrific terrorist attack on Israel by BLM Chicago, BLM Los Angeles, and BLM Grassroots. Dr. Melina Abdullah, one of the leaders of BLM Grassroots, called the Hamas attack “a desperate act of self-defense.” Only a group such as BLM could call a terrorist attack on over a thousand innocent people, including women, children, and concertgoers at a music festival, an “act of self-defense.” It speaks volumes of the group’s toxicity.

“As the world is faced with deep questions about self-determination, as we all desire and pray for a world of peace, we must stand unwaveringly on the side of the oppressed. When a people have been subject to decades of apartheid and unimaginable violence, their resistance must not be condemned, but understood as a desperate act of self-defense,” read a statement from BLM Grassroots.

Once the darling of the Left and hailed as a benevolent organization merely calling for racial justice and equality, Black Lives Matter has shown its true colors. Its playbook was based on deceit, and its tactics were Orwellian (think Animal Farm). The organization pulled the wool over the nation’s eyes. It capitalized on the “white-guilt” lobby to amass wealth, power, and influence — after causing death, chaos, and destruction throughout the country.

There is right and wrong in the world. There is good and evil. Time and time again, BLM has shown it is on the wrong side of these things. Black Lives Matter proved to be the anti-American and destructive force many conservatives and Republicans warned it was. It’s a deceitful sham of an organization that is not worth recognizing or celebrating. Let’s return to normalcy and decency and eradicate Black Lives Matter Plaza once and for all.
