Like many of you, I've heard the same thing BLM is a terrorist organization. But I was more interested in who profits from that. Is it truly the black community? I think Pruitt is referencing black initiatives, not the organization. But at any rate this is what I found.
1. go the the website, proceed as though you're going to make a donation I did a screen shot so you could see for yourselves.

2. You proceed to make that donation. Notice term (2), you are directed to "ActBlue" for the payment:

3. Now we need to know what the yearly expenditures are for them. Be mindful, legally this has to be reported. Here's where it gets good.

I'm going to write an email in a few days to the AD with this info and we will see. I encourage anyone who feels similarly to do the same.
There's really no excuse for a public institution to raise money for a political activist group. Even if you don't think it is an extremist organization.
There are plenty of charities dedicated to specifically raising money for black Americans. To forgo those charities to give money for political activists is pretty shameful.
So when the Boston marathon atrocity occur, did you run to say "all marathon lives matter"?? You are 100% missing the point. It's ok to be ignorant, like Drew Brees once was. Just educate yourself. It means "Black Lives Matter TOO".Is reading difficult. The name of the group singles out a race. Replacing one type of racism with a new type of racism is not a winning formula.
Unfortunately they're being cornered into this more than anything.
It speaks more to our societal problems. The fact people fear voicing honest opinions is very disturbing.
That said, I will be withholding financial expenditures for UT sports if this message is what I think it is. Because money is the one way to break this.

...and anyone else that supports that racist, police hating organization Black Lives Matter. Demand a refund on your tickets, do not donate to UT and contact any business that advertises with Tennessee football and tell them if they advertise with UT football you will boycott them. Call in on sports talk shows and demand they step down.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but how do you know Pruitt isn't giving his honest opinion?
