After Daniel Penny’s acquittal Monday morning, the co-founder of Black Lives Matter of Greater New York asked what it was going to take: did they have to break more glass and burn more cars to get the attention of white people? Black Lives Matter protesters had been both outside and inside the courtroom, chanting “guilty.”

Popular X account End Wokeness noted that Black Lives Matter had awakened from its four-year nap:
BLM is back after their 4-year hiatus

Black Lives Matter took that personally, saying they never left. Their grift has continued throughout the Biden administration, and they’ve been “uplifting black joy every single day” — the black joy of their co-founders waking up every day in one of their new mansions.
We never left.
We’ve always been here, working in ways that go far beyond protests—creating change in policy, building and healing communities, shaping Black futures and culture, and uplifting Black joy every single day.
What have you done in the last four years other than… https://t.co/CAdtCtEbTH

“… other than obsessing over us?” Trust us, no one’s been obsessing over Black Lives Matter for the last four years — they’d gone so quiet we’d almost forgotten about them.
By which you mean embezzling donations?

You couldn’t do this to Biden because the Democrat party owns you. But you can now pretend Trump is the racist boogeyman, start looking for racism everywhere, get people riled up to resist and ultimately…give you money!
Business is open again. Scamming people, especially poor…

“… especially poor people, is all BLM does.”
Grifters always grift.

Is this your version of “black joy”? pic.twitter.com/aPKOja8x0S

Your hustle has been exposed.
Go away. 💯

It’s a strange hierarchy. There are the corporations that give millions to Black Lives Matter, the co-founders of Black Lives Matter who take those millions and buy themselves real estate, and then the drones on the ground who protest in the street.
You must be out of money.

BLM: We never left. We were just hanging out in one of our mansions.

Hey … they’ve also given their support to Hamas. It’s not like they’ve been doing nothing:

BLM executives kept almost 2/3 of the money it raised. Completely ripped off its supporters. Nobody takes y’all seriously. You don’t do anything for black people other than gaslight them and spend their money.

Look at all that joy. 😑

We guess they figured since the Kamala Harris campaign wasn’t using “joy” anymore, they’d appropriate that too.
