Black Lives Matter Is Bringing Food To Victims Of Harvey, But People Are Sharing A False Story About BLM Blocking Relief Efforts
Black Lives Matter Houston is actively providing relief, but a story claiming the opposite has been shared to millions of people.
Posted on September 1, 2017, at 9:48 a.m. Craig Silverman BuzzFeed News Media Editor

A false claim that Black Lives Matter activists blocked Hurricane Harvey relief efforts has gone viral on several large conservative Facebook pages. The stories use a false headline and photo to trick readers into clicking through to a story that has nothing to do with Black Lives Matter.


The two false articles, from Mr. Conservative and Conservative Post, have identical headlines and use an image taken in 2015 in Boston as their thumbnail.

1. Fucking disgusting

[workinclasszero]

3. The right wing fascists scream about "fake news"

while they are busy manufacturing it 24/7!

[groundloop]

11. Yes, and they manufacture SO MUCH BS we can't even begin to refute a tenth of it

As I've heard before, a lie travels around the world before the truth has time to put it's pants on. These bastards throw out so much fabricated bullshit that we can't even begin to set the record straight on even a small fraction of it. Sadly there are people who will buy into that crap without even the tiniest bit of checking the facts.

2. Repugnant...

[GaryCnf]

4. Also disgusting

Was how little support BLM got for the Boston protests in the first place.

[Warren DeMontague]

5. You'd think they would notice the snow in that picture

[workinclasszero]

6. Their racist tribal brains wouldn't notice details

The blood lust and hate blocked it out I bet.

[surrealAmerican]

7. ... that and the parkas half those protesters are wearing.

Nothing says August in Texas quite like winter coats.

[plimsoll]

8. I'm going to point out that conservatives are opposed to

critical thinking.

[Takket]

9. for fuck sake... there is snow on the ground in the picture!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ThoughtCriminal]

15. And some of them are wearing parkas

It is 90 degrees F in Houston.

Being an imbecile is absolutely required sharing right-wing memes.

[zentrum]

10. Like the substitutes

...of crowds in Phoenix and at the inauguration. Posting Obama's crowds as Trump's etc.

But far more ugly and sinister. This can get people killed.

[PdxSean]

12. Slander/Defamation of an organization is a viable claim.

It's time for people and organizations to start holding these fake news machines accountable. They should absolutely sue for slander/defamation.

[Initech]

13. How come we can't talk this much trash about the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, III%?

Why can't we have headlines like "PROUD BOYS TERRORIZE LOCAL CHIPOTLE WITH AK47S... IMMEDIATELY REGRET IT!!!!"

[pangaia]

14. The stupid is too deep. There is fucking SNOW .... SNOW. on the ground

And they are wearing winter coats.. jeesuuss.
