(New York, New York) – Prominent legal scholar Alan Dershowitz sharply criticized the Black Lives Matter movement during an appearance on Cats & Cosby, calling the organization “corrupt to the core” and saying it never should have been supported.
Dershowitz argued that BLM’s leadership and financial structure undermined its stated mission, claiming the group misled supporters while engaging in widespread mismanagement. He distinguished between concerns about racial justice and support for the organization itself, insisting the two should not be conflated.
His remarks quickly circulated online, drawing praise from critics of BLM and backlash from supporters who say the movement has played a critical role in raising awareness about police misconduct and racial inequality.
The comments add to the ongoing national debate over the legacy, leadership, and impact of Black Lives Matter in American politics.
