Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors resigns amid controversy

After a flurry of attacks involving real estate purchases, which she claimed came from the right-wing, Patrice Cullors is leaving the organization.

Patrisse Cullors, 37 — who has been at the helm of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation for nearly six years — said she is leaving to focus on a book and TV deal.


Property records showed that Cullors had purchased four homes worth $3.2 million combined, including a $1.4 million home in Topanga Canyon, a wealthy area of Los Angeles where only 1.4 percent of the population is black.

I'd say she got all she could now she's running away with what she can.

Precisely. Thanks to her useful idiot minions. And yet, they'll still refuse to take off their blinders.

Black people that continue to support BLM (the organization) have been duped. Again. Just like they've been duped by the Democrat (Socialist/Communist) party.

I guess principles DO have a price...

So the trained Marxist is resigning from leadership of her Marxist organization to pursue capitalistic opportunities.

Well of course she is. Be crazy not to now that she has a taste for it.

That's pretty much how I see it.

 

[Leadeye]

Always follow the money

 

[Bennettjh]

She'd make a great politician.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

You're shootin' blanks tex...

 

[Hkindiana]

WELL, I guess HER black life REALLY matters, to HER

 

[Colt556]

Soooo.... will she be repaying any of that money or selling the properties? Couldn’t she be charged with embezzlement or fraud?

Just the “Black people?”

I stand corrected!

Sounds very similar to the alleged misuse of funds by the NRA, I wonder who is going to sue/prosecute to dissolve BLM?

 

[BugI02]

Probably not a Democrat

Yep. She is in the same ilk as WLP. Not necessarily illegal. Nothing illegal about paying yourself whatever you want from your foundation as long as you disclose it to the IRS. (that I am aware of) and pay the appropriate taxes. As long as Da Man gets his cut, he tends to leave you alone. (much like the mob)

The only downside is when orgs that rate charities and their spending publish the %s you allocate to various buckets. (outreach, operations, SALARIES, etc)

And as favorably as the average leftist/PoC supporter sees them, do you really think they are going to go check their ratings? Nope. They are going to blindly assume that BLM has their best interest in mind and throw money at them because they are one of the few orgs they perceive is fighting for them.

Given how gun shy the average person is to being labeled a racist, I could see those orgs deliberately not pay attention to BLM's books.

Here is how it plays out:

Charity navigator: We have evaluated BLMs books and we found the following:
5% used for operations
20% reinvested into communties.
75% used for executive salaries.
We rate this as .00001 star. (or however bad they rate awful things)

Leftist response: WHY ARE YOU SO RACIST? WHY DO YOU HATE PEOPLE OF COLOR? SOMEBODY SHOULD FIREBOMB YOUR OFFICES AND KILL YOUR CHILDREN, YOU RACIST BIGOTS!!!!! HOW DARE YOU TRY TO SMEAR BLM!!!!

Do you think they shared a dime of this money with any community past bus fare and food to the useful morons.

I'm trying to be optimistic.
