In a video published last week by TakeCharge, Rashard Turner, who founded the St. Paul, Minnesota, chapter of Black Lives Matter, revealed that he left the organization after he “learned the ugly truth” behind the group.
TakeCharge is a black-led organization that focuses on educating minority communities, and rejecting critical race theory.
“Our mission is to inspire and educate Black and other minority communities of their full rights and privileges as Americans granted to them by the Constitution. We desire to inspire them to take charge of their own lives, the lives of their children and not to rely on government and politicians for redemption and prosperity,” states the TakeCharge website. “We do not apologize for embracing America or its history. We believe that a well-grounded knowledge of American and world history strengthens our diverse country.”
