The article is an opinion piece from right-wing Claremont Institute. From Wikipedia...
"Fellowships in the past have gone to prominent figures on the right such as Laura Ingraham, Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin, Mary Kissel, and Charles C. Johnson.
The institute caused controversy by granting a fellowship in 2019 to the Pizzagate conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec. National Review columnist Mona Charen wrote that "Claremont stands out for beclowning itself with this embrace of the smarmy underside of American politics."
In 2020, Mark Joseph Stern of Slate magazine called the institute "a racist fever swamp with deep connections to the conspiratorial alt-right", citing Posobiec's fellowship and the publication of a 2020 essay by senior fellow John Eastman that questioned Kamala Harris' eligibility for the vice presidency.
In 2022, the American Mind published an editorial by Raw Egg Nationalist, an author affiliated with neo-Nazi publishing house Antelope Hill..."
So, a far right, racist-embracing group wrote an opinion piece that says they're not fond of Black Lives Matter..?
And yet it was published by Newsweek, which is hardly a mouthpiece of the right wing. What's interesting is that your entire comment was essentially one large Ad Hom attack. Nowhere did you demonstrate that any of the points made in the piece were factually wrong, nowhere did you offer evidence to counter the claims made, just attacks on the character of the author and some think tank.
But hey, you do you and keep the Ad Hom and straw men coming.

Hm. Surprising.
