A newly formed group that says it's based in Colorado Springs purports to oppose racism but calls the Black Lives Matter movement "a Marxist political organization" and opposes critical race theory.
Stand Together Against Racism and Radicalism in the Services (STARRS) filed with the Colorado Secretary of State's Office in April 2021 as a foreign nonprofit entity that was formed in Denton, Texas.
Its registered agent is listed as Ronald Scott Jr. of Monument. Scott, a retired Air Force colonel, holds a leadership role in the American Constitution Foundation, which says on its website its goal is to "restore the Constitution as the governing document of the United States of America." The nonprofit also praises former President Donald Trump as "a champion of western values and classical liberalism," while warning that "Big Banks, Big Media, Big Tech, and Marxists took complete control of the national government [in the 2020 election] and have begun to implement a totalitarian socialist agenda."
STARRS' website features Matthew Lohmeier, an ousted Space Force commander who wrote that demonization of whites will lead to white genocide. Lohmeier drew support from Congressman Doug Lamborn, R-Colorado Springs.

OP
New trick: Just saying it's anti-racist makes it true, even though it's blatantly racist.

There have been anti-Black Lives Matter groups since the 1870's.
The KKK, for example.
