Yes, with all the evidence we have about 1 parent vs 2 parent families and poverty, education, crime, teen pregnancy, etc, I would think the BLM agenda would be a huge red flag to all black Americans. They want to destroy the family. How freaking stupid is that?
To be clear..... there is some context to it. Right or wrong. It is more complicated than what you are making it out to be.
It's based on Engels, from what I understand. If you don't know, he was basically the sidekick of Karl Marx. He wrote a book called The Origins of the Family, Private Property, and the State. In that book he studies and lays out the family as it was in every era of human history, from ancient to modern.
He forms all sorts of opinions and conclusions based on that research, but the gist of it is that the "modern family" is a relatively new construct in human history, which basically enslaved the woman and transitioned the family to one dominated by the male. Essentially making her a domestic servant, with no rights, no legacy, etc. At that time of the writing, women couldn't vote, couldn't participate in commerce, couldn't divorce, etc. So there is some historical context to it.
What Engels said:
“The care and education of children becomes a public matter. Society cares equally well for all children. This removes the care about the ‘consequences’ which now forms the essential social factor – moral and economic – hindering a girl to surrender unconditionally to the beloved man.”
What BLM said:
"We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable. We make our spaces family-friendly and enable parents to fully participate with their children. We dismantle the patriarchal practice that requires mothers to work “double shifts” so that they can mother in private even as they participate in public justice work."
It's hard to deduce without further study into BLM (which I have not done yet, but plan to eventually), but on the surface it appears they are promoting heavily the idea of the communal family, which Engels outlines in his book as the way it was done for a long time in many societies, including Native American society. "It takes a village", and so on.... Extended families, uncles, aunts, neighbors, communities, etc all play a role in the development of young people.
How that works in practice, I have no idea.
And finally, I could be wrong on my interpretation of this, but it seems like the overall critique is this:
Capitalism has created immense poverty, especially in minority communities... Because people are poor, the mothers are having to work multiple jobs to survive from month to month... and the nuclear family system is specifically designed to "mother" in private.. The mom has to send their kid to daycare, may only spend a short amount of time with them per day, and it's basically 100% on a single individual to care for the kid. In earlier societal forms, the raising of children was more communal than it is now, and that seems to be what they are promoting.
The direct passage from BLM is... "supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable. We make our spaces family-friendly and enable parents to fully participate with their children"....
So they aren't saying have no family... they are talking about setting up communities of people that all participate in the raising of the children of that community.
How something like that would really look, again, I have no idea.
