    I wonder what prompted the deletion. Is it some kind of change of heart? I can't help thinking it was making them Lok too radical:

    Don't like Western values? Go somewhere else...

    Of course people of color do have that option, but whites do not. The West isn't even The West anymore. The world is less than 9% white they will soon have no place to escape to.

    Money must be talking. Nothing else would matter that much in my opinion.

    wait, what? They were seriously encouraging disrupting family structures?

    also, what does western mean in this case? Eastern cultures have strong family structures as well.

    Perhaps we should just take this as a sign that explains to everyone that BLMs and ANTIFA only "believe" what their masters tell them to believe in....

    The rule of revolution and overthrow is to not expose or publicize your intent unless you are certain it would be well received. BLM simply realized their declaration was too soon and violated the rule and quickly rectified it.

    They probably got it from those liberal loonies from the Smithsonian. The same ones that say "hard work" is racist. In a PDF that they put out about "aspects of white culture". Things like "hard work", "self reliance" and nuclear family" seem to be racist and inherently white traits.
    From an article about the PDF from the Smithsonian:

    "Smithsonian Institution explains that ‘rationality’ & ‘hard work’ are racist
    Those such as Frederick Douglass, Oprah Winfrey, and Barack Obama might be surprised that hard work and rational thinking are somehow alien to black culture."

    "Witness last week’s contretemps at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture. The museum, which bills itself as “the only national museum devoted exclusively” to educating the public on these topics, recently debuted the online guide “Talking about Race.” The guide included a chart cataloguing the “aspects and assumptions” of “white culture” that “have been normalized over time and are now considered standard practices in the United States.”

    What are these sinister aspects of “white culture,” you ask? Well, according to the Smithsonian, values like “hard work,” “self-reliance,” “be[ing] polite,” and timeliness are all a product of the “white dominant culture.” Indeed, it turns out that conventional grammar, Christianity, the notion that “intent counts” in courts of law, and the scientific method and its emphasis on “objective, rational linear thinking” are all proprietary to “white culture.”"

    Some excerpts from the PDF:

    "Some Aspects and Assumptions of White Culture in the United States
    While different individuals might not practice or accept all of these traits, they are common characteristics of most U.S. White people most of the time."

    "Self-reliance
    Individual is primary unit
    Independence and autonomy highly valued and rewarded
    Individuals assumed to be in control of their environment
    – “You get what you deserve”"

    "Protestant Work Ethic
    Hard work is the key to success
    Work before play
    “If you didn’t meet your goals, you didn’t work hard enough"

    "Nuclear family (father, mother, 2.3 children is the ideal social unit
    Husband is breadwinner and head of household
    Wife is homemaker and subordinate to husband
    Children should have own rooms, be independent"
