[RedState] Tensions are rising between black members of Black Lives Matter (BLM) and white progressive anarchists in the city of Portland, Oregon. The two groups clashed on issues related to how the movement should demonstrate against injustice. As a result, black BLM activists are distancing themselves from white progressives affiliated with the Antifa...the armed wing of the Democratic Party...
movement, which has wreaked havoc in the city for six months.
Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) recently reported on the split between black BLM activists and white Antifa operatives, noting that "activists in the city are divided as to whether they are still fighting in a racial justice movement centered on Black lives, or if an unfocused, anti-establishment fight against capitalism and state power has usurped the initial cause that brought thousands of Portlanders into the streets."
