In reply to the discussion: BLM Seattle protestor is a republican? [View all]pugetres
(507 posts)4. BLM didn't apologize
The apology (on both twitter and facebook) was put out by a young woman in Seattle. She says she is a 16 year old who wanted to be involved in the BLM movement and didn't mean any harm. I believe her. She has been operating the facebook page since Feb and the kid seems sincere. Her facebook page has been renamed and her twitter account deleted since BLM contacted her voicing their displeasure about her claiming to be a part of their group.
Her latest post on her now renamed facebook page (Used to be called Black Lives Matter Seattle now it is called Black in Seattle):
Hello. My name is Nikki and this will be my first time posting on this page under it's new name. I would like to address all points of confusion with my page as well as my thoughts on yesterday's rally.
1.) I started this page under the name Black Lives Matter Seattle with out realizing I had to check with the official chapter members of Seattle and the national network. The name has since been changed to Black in Seattle
2.) The two women that were at the rally yesterday were actually members of BLM Seattle
3.) I have spoken to them and as far as I know, they are not conspirators with any other democratic candidates or the GOP
4.) I personally support Bernie Sanders. But I can not apologize for them or speak for them about what happened yesterday and they have not apologized

More like an authoritarian leader wannabee. They don't care what they sell, so long as they can

An update on the apology that wasn't from BLM (and no, they weren't paid operatives either)
