I was one of the many people shocked to the point of humor when Black Lives Matter had, as a part of its platform, the end of the nuclear family, criticizing this as a heteronormative, patriarchal system. That you can run an organization meant to solve problems for black America, look out on black America, and say "I know what the problem is: Too much marriage. That's really the problem." That you can even really entertain that thought says something about the lack of logic you're operating with.

Additional quotes by Coleman Hughes

There are videos of white people, getting killed by the cops, with their hands up begging for their lives every bit as brutal and terrifying and awful as the videos we've seen. At all the Black Lives Matter protests there's this thing, they always say 'Say their name!' [...] There are so many white names. There are in fact, in absolute terms, there are more white names than there are black names. And I've spent some time looking at them and they're identical. The case is for every black person killed by the police there are usually two or three white people that died exactly the same way. Nobody says their names and nobody cares. That seems to people like the correct moral bias because we're imprinted with the symbolism of the civil rights movement, but we have to outgrow this if we're going to be a cohesive country going into the 21st century which is a very different reality than where we're coming from.
