A former Black Lives Matter activist-turned-conservative influencer blasted the social justice organization as a \u201cscam\u201d \u2014 and insisted that Democrats are the party of \u201cracism and violence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Xaviaer DuRousseau, 29, revealed that he did a complete 180 from his liberal upbringing during the 2020 George Floyd riots as he realized that the movement was a money grab and that he was indoctrinated.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce I started looking at the conservative side of the argument, I started realizing, oh, wait, socialism has literally never worked. BLM has always been a scam, and the Democratic Party has always been the party of racism and violence,\u201d DuRousseau\u00a0said on former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines\u2019 podcast<\/a>\u00a0Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have just been drinking the Kool-Aid because this was the indoctrination that was put upon me from the age of a little child,\u201d the PragerU influencer added.<\/p>\n

DuRousseau, a former student activist who voted for Bernie Sanders and helped organize BLM demonstrations during the summer of 2020, said things changed after Floyd\u2019s death when the group and protests exploded nationally.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter George Floyd\u2019s death \u2026 I just started seeing people exploiting the movement so much and I started realizing how performative a lot of the activism was,\u201d he told Gaines.<\/p>\n
