Ready or not, the fight is coming to your communities, your schools, your workplaces, and your places of worship.

Recently, I posted a meme on Twitter showing a large idol with "BLM" on it, people bowing down before the idol labeled "woke evangelicals," and three men standing who are labeled "infidels." Of course, the meme is based on the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego from the Bible's book of Daniel. These three men refused to bend the knee to a false idol. For that, they were labeled unbelievers by the ruling power and thrown into a pit of fire, yet miraculously they lived.

Some friends and family were not entirely sure what I meant by posting the meme—hence this essay.

Most evangelicals—in fact most Americans—have no idea that Black Lives Matter means something more than the basic and indisputable point that the lives of black people are precious. They don't know what Black Lives Matter, the organization, actually is, what it stands for, or what it is trying to achieve. They don't know that it is a Marxist political ideology cloaked in race, an Orwellian tactic if there ever was one.

People think that if you speak out against BLM, you are a racist who cares nothing for the lives of your fellow citizens if they are of a different race.

So let me make this abundantly clear: I care about the lives of my fellow man regardless of the color of his skin. My work has been focused on ensuring not only that every life matters, but that every voice is heard, and that every vote is counted.

In my personal journeys and public efforts, I have seen the challenges others face every day in schools, on the job, even at the ballot box, and I am here to tell you that BLM doesn't truly care about bettering the lives of anyone—least of all the black community in the United States. It is far more concerned about pushing a radical ideology intended to harm the very people it claims to support because such an agenda keeps them up and operating and in business.

In short: they are traitors to the cause so many believe they espouse.

So what is Black Lives Matter, really? BLM was founded by three Marxist women in 2013. Alicia Garza, one of the founders, is a writer and activist who resides in Oakland, California. She is a self-proclaimed Marxist and "queer social justice activist" who makes no bones about admiring other Marxists and the Black Panthers.

In a September 2016 interview with Complex.com, Garza claimed that the U.S. would be in a better place if we terminated the police. "Quite frankly," she said, "many of our [BLM] members are continuing to investigate what it would mean to have police-free communities. I think what we've continued to see over time is that no moral appeal [to police] is actually stopping the deaths of black people [at the hands of police], whether they are armed or unarmed."

Patrisse Cullors, another BLM founder, was trained in her activism by Eric Mann, a former Weather Underground member. In a December 2014 interview with The Feminist Wire, Cullors claimed she views Black Lives Matter as a means to push issues such as "decriminalizing Black lives," "reducing law-enforcement budget," and requiring that some police departments be "disbanded or abolished." She's also a supporter of the BDS movement, a deeply anti-Semitic movement that seeks to eradicate Israel.
