U.S. embassies and consulates worldwide displayed the flag of Black Lives Matter — an organization founded by a self-avowed “trained Marxist” — on Tuesday to mark the one-year anniversary of the death of George Floyd, who died while in police custody in Minneapolis, Minnesota last May.
The U.S. State Department authorized the BLM flag’s display at all U.S. “Diplomatic and Consular posts” on May 25 through a leaked memo published by Human Events.
“The Department supports the use of the term ‘Black Lives Matter’ in messaging content, speeches, and other diplomatic engagements with foreign audiences to advance racial equity and access to justice on May 25 and beyond. We encourage posts to focus on the need to eliminate systemic racism."
“This cable constitutes a blanket written authorization for calendar year 2021 from the Under Secretary for Management to display the BLM flag on the external-facing flagpole to any Chiefs of Mission who determine such a display is appropriate.”
The U.S. Embassy in Sarajevo heeded the call and unfurled a large BLM flag over the front of its building.
The U.S. Embassy in Athens draped the BLM flag across the front of its building on so that it completely covered the embassy’s official seal.
The Embassy in Madrid, Spain hung a large BLM flag from the building’s roof which cascaded down the front of the embassy.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken shared a video in which he echoed sentiments expressed in the leaked BLM flag memo.
“For the United States to be a credible force for human rights around the world, we have to face the realities of racism and hatred here at home. We can’t sweep our shortcomings under the rug or pretend they don’t exist. We need to face them openly and honestly. Even if that’s ugly.”

Three plus years.?? Sorry, but if we (the freedom loving American males) don't grow a new set of cojones it's going to be a whole lot longer then three years before America starts looking like America again.. In fact, maybe it never will... :(
Most non Americans think American Black’s are ridiculous. Wonder what they think of their flag.
Exactly, the laughing stock
Of the World which knows
We are Not a Racist People.
BLM is the Vehicle to
Usher in Marxism.
Displacing our usual
Memorial Day with a lie
Screams we have been
Taken over in a
“Color Revolution!”
phuck our domestic enemies, even more than our foreign ones who could not defeat us without their help !
Long May She Wave!
Sad but true.

You’re tag
Is as Well.
In World War II the men of the Marine Fifth division fought to secure Iwo Jima and raised the American flag there.
In 2021 some worthless Marxist nerds who hate America and loot stores and burn buildings have been given millions of dollars and the right to have their symbolic anti American BLM flag raise at US consulates and embassies.
Is there something wrong with that scenario?

National WWII Museum online said:
How many American soldiers died at Iwo Jima?
Approximately 70,000 U.S. Marines and 18,000 Japanese soldiers took part in the battle. In thirty-six days of fighting on the island, nearly 7,000 U.S. Marines were killed. Another 20,000 were wounded.

Me, again.
May their bravery and sacrifice never be forgotten.
“Secret Private Army”
Obama’s exact pronouncement.
Child looking up at flags: “Mama, what’s that striped flag near the Black Lives Matter one?”
Mother: “Oh pay no attention that’s just an old white racist flag to show what the country used to be like before our revolution took over.”
AN OUTRAGE!...BUT ONLY THE LATEST. THERE WILL BE MORE, AND WORSE, UNTIL THE FRAUDSTER USURPERS, THE COUP CREW ARE DRIVEN FROM D.C. AND FACE JUSTICE. AMERICAN JUSTICE! OUR JUSTICE!!!
Long may she wave.
This flag signifies the victory of the Communists’ Revolution in the USA.I hope that it is premature.
Picrtures of triumhant BLM watching our buildings burning....
America tolerated this. Rather than violate customary nonviolence and break any laws. That would have been impolite and ungentlemanly.
Just wait for law enforcement and our system of equal justice under the law to resolve this./s
I turned 75 yesterday. When I was a kid we actually had a system of justice including the FBI and the US Attorney General. And some parts of the news media would investigate a story and bring out a scandal or a serious crime so everyone would demand something be done. You had freedom of speech to talk about it and disagree about it.
Don’t laugh, young people, I was there in those days.
Fascism often has a racist side.
Buck Fiden!
We gotta be the most embarrassed, humiliated people right now.
PING!
I haven’t thought of it that way, but you are right. The left had simply traded one set of brown shirts for another.
