| Black Lives Matter Philly Bans White People From Its Meetings |
| 2017-04-04 |
| [Daily Caller] Black Lives Matter Philly banned white people from an upcoming event, claiming it is a "black only space." The April 15 meeting plans to discuss projects and initiatives for the upcoming year and act as a place for people to "meet, strategize and organize." While children are invited to attend, white people are explicitly banned from the meeting, according to the Facebook event page. When people began questioning the ban on whites over Twitter, Black Lives Matter Philly stayed by their ban, explaining that their meetings are "black centered." Anyone who identifies as "African disapora" is allowed to attend, the group explained over Twitter. "If you identify as a person of the African Diaspora You can attend our meetings and become a member. If not you can support us in other ways," Philly BLM said in a tweet. "African Disapora" usually refers to people who were taken out of Africa during the Transatlantic Slave Trades. |

| #8 Are they unaware of the current theories on the origins of humanity? We're *ALL* "African diaspora". Some of us just left much, much earlier than others. |

| #7 I'll believe Black Lives Matter when Blacks start acting that way. Any individual may matter. It all depends on the content of their character. |
