Broward Socialists: Anarchists, Good. Joe Biden, Bad.

Think the radicals and socialists are voting for Joe Biden this November? Think again. The Broward Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) are not happy with “Sleepy Joe” for remarks he made today in Delaware. While he seemed uninformed about the cause of the rioting in Portland, Joe Biden drew a distinction between protestors and those setting fires at the Federal Courthouse in Portland.

Biden said, “[T]here is no place for violence and destruction of property. Peaceful protestors should be protected and arsonists and anarchists should be prosecuted.”

Well, such common sense did not play well with the Broward DSA.

On Twitter, the Broward DSA let its hammer and sickle flag fly. They wrote:

Calling for anarchists to be prosecuted is unacceptable. Anarchists have been unfairly persecuted for over 100 years in this country, and it is extremely concerning that both major candidates for the presidency want to lock them up. Many anarchists are not violent, and instead are committed to building a better world through mutual aid, social justice, and more. Anarchism is not an inherently dangerous ideology, unlike fascism or white supremacy. Why doesn’t Joe Biden call for them to be prosecuted?

So what, you say? Who cares what a few fringe socialists think about Joe Biden?

When they’re not defending anarchists attacking Federal agents and reading books by Stalin and Mao, the Broward DSA is part of the organizers behind the Black Lives Matter protests in South Florida.

Last month, REDBROWARD revealed the Broward DSA, Broward Black Lives Matter and the Broward Dream Defenders formed the Black Lives Matter Alliance Broward. The alliance has organized numerous protests since 2016 across Broward. Jasmen Roger-Shaw, a candidate for the Florida House of Representatives, is one of the leaders of the Alliance. The groups have endorsed radical candidates such as Broward State Attorney candidate Joe Kimok. Alliance members teamed with Broward Democrats to host Zoom forums featuring leading candidates from both parties.

Did none of the candidates for State Attorney or Sheriff bother to research these groups?

Do these candidates know a major component of this alliance has no problem with anarchists roaming the streets of Broward?

Well, they do now.

Radical Group Cheers As Broward High School Adds “Black Nationalist” History Class To Counter “White Savior Narrative”

Local radicals are celebrating news that a Broward high school will teach students about black nationalists this fall. BLM Weston, a group affiliated with the socialist Dream Defenders and Broward Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), cheered when Cypress Bay High School in Weston agreed to their demand that a black history class be offered to students. Cypress Bay sent a letter to parents about the new African-American History Honors class.

Cypress Bay states the elective course will emphasize “the study of the historical development of African-Americans by examining the political, economic, social, religious, military and cultural events that affected the cultural group.”

The school says course content will include West African heritage, Triangular Trade, enslavement and emancipation, Abolition and the Civil Rights movement.

So far, so good. Many of these topics used to be covered in American History classes, so students wishing a deeper understanding of the subject should be able to take an in-depth course.

Just one problem. Cypress Bay includes some course content that radical groups eagerly wish to teach to your kids about—-Black Nationalists.

BLACK NATIONALISM

One history site explains Black Nationalism is a separatist movement. “Those espousing nationalist or separatist philosophies have envisioned nationalism in quite different ways. For some, Black Nationalism demanded a territorial base; for others, it required only separate institutions within American society.” While the movement began in the early twentieth century, some of the most notable Black Nationalists captured the limelight in the 1960s. Group such as The Black Panther Party and the Nation of Islam (NOI) led by Elijah Muhammad and Malcom X.

Again, a scholarly review of complex historical figures such Malcolm X should be welcomed in any American History class.

But in the twenty-first century, Marxist groups use Black Nationalism to push their radical, and sometimes violent agendas.

In 2017, The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) warned of the “Return of the Violent Black Nationalist.” According the very liberal SPLC:

In general, Black Nationalist hate groups espouse hatred toward whites, the LGBT community, and Jews. Black Nationalists have also advocated for a separate territory for African Americans within the country (similar to white nationalists who argue for a white homeland in the Pacific Northwest). According to their propaganda, Black Nationalists would like a portion of the Southeast United States reserved for a black nation. Further, they are known for their antigovernment and anti-police sentiments due to their long-held views on government corruption and police brutality.

Like most extremist movements in the United States, Black Nationalism’s worldview is shaped by conspiracy theories, including the idea that white people were created in a test tube. Among other things, they believe wrongly that Jews ran the slave trade. Some are Holocaust deniers. Similar to other hate groups, some Black Nationalist groups conduct prison outreach programs to recruit inmates into their extremist cause. Some have also been known to recruit street gang members.

The SPLC wrote how black hate fueled recent church arsons and the murder of five Dallas police officers:

[Micah] Johnson was motivated to shoot 14 police officers not only to avenge perceived unjustified killings of unarmed black men, but also to bring increased attention to these killings and, perhaps, change government policy. Johnson was later linked to Black Nationalism through his racist rhetoric and photos posted to social media. He also reportedly attempted to join a Black Nationalist group, the New Black Panther Nation (NBPN), but was ousted by NBPN leader Quannel X because of his radical views and perceived mental instability. Similarly, Gavin Long espoused antigovernment beliefs and affiliated with the Washitaw Nation, a Moorish sovereign citizen group comprised mostly of African Americans. Moorish sovereign citizens, like Long, do not recognize the authority of law enforcement or other government officials. Long regularly spoke of perceived police brutality on his social media accounts and chose to retaliate against the police, a symbolic target, as a result of his extremist views.

The Washington Post investigated the groups Johnson and Long belonged to. “‘There are a few big groups and a lot of little ones, and they are growing in an echo chamber where all they hear is ‘anger, anger, anger, anger, anger,’ said J.J. MacNab, an author and George Washington University researcher who specializes in ­extremism.”

Can Cypress Bay parents trust teachers not to expose their kids to the hatred and anger of the Black Nationalist movement?

Should Broward County high schools allow radical political activists to determine which classes are offered?

Those who question the radical curriculum are quickly attacked.

On the BLM Weston Instagram post announcing the new class, one follower wrote, “Nah, I just want to learn American History period.”

The BLM Weston account quickly attacked the commenter with this reply:

I encourage everyone to take this course so we can really educate ourselves on OUR History not just the “white savior” narrative.

“White Savior narrative?” BLM Weston thanked the Cypress Bay principal “and a school board member” for discussing the creation of this black history class.

Did they discuss the “white savior narrative?”

Who was the school board member?

Will this member bring this radical curriculum to other schools in her district?
