Corrupt BLM Leaders Allegedly Stole MILLIONS In Donations

Read more HERE:

"On a sunny day late last spring, three leaders of the Black Lives Matter movement — Patrisse Cullors, Alicia Garza, and Melina Abdullah — sat around a table on the patio of an expensive house in Southern California. The women were recording a YouTube video to mark the first anniversary of George Floyd’s murder, and they discussed their racial-justice work and the difficulties they had faced over the year.

“For me, the hardest moments have been the right-wing-media machine just leveraging literally all its weight against me, against our movement, against BLM the organization,” Cullors said. “I’m some weeks out now from a lot of the noise, so I have more perspective, right? While I was in it, I was in survival mode.” She was referring to an April 2021 article in the New York Post that revealed her purchase of four homes for nearly $3 million. The disclosures had contributed to the idea that there is a disturbing gap between the fortunes of the movement’s most visible figures and on-the-ground activists across the country, and Cullors resigned as executive director of Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation on May 27, within a few days of the patio chat.

“I think they’ve attempted to cancel us, but they have not been successful in canceling us,” Abdullah said at another point in the conversation. “They’ve attempted to say — and I’m just gonna say it — ‘She bought some damn houses. We gonna cancel her.’” Garza cut in with a comment seemingly addressed to critics: “Y’all don’t know shit about what it takes to live in a box here.”"

[mrdamage]

We told y’all, you called us racists. Congratulations, you played yourself.

[pamparker]

They need to be held responsible for this

[Blackjack]

Any organization that starts pulling in money without naming sources and runs off of platitudes and not results, should be questioned. America runs off of organizations doing things like

[kuramayoko]

Nothing alleged about it. They took $90 million dollars and didn't use it to help anyone but themselves.

[jamescox]

If true, I'm not surprised because abundant money corrupts almost anybody and ethnicity matters not!!

[emilysigmund]

I am so pissed about this and yet I am not surprised because every good movement ends up getting hijacked by this kind of bullshit.

[keithturner]

That’s terrible man. What a pathetic joke of thing to do. Shut it down and return the money

[divineintervention]

As a black person I've never supported the BLM organization. In fact I was offended that they took the mantra of a real movement and co-oped the slogan for personal gain. It was doomed from the conception of the organization.

[Roadtoconsciousness]

Grifters are everywhere. Right or left. Black or white.

[darkangel]

Never thought she would call out a leftist organization

[LinkRocks]

This is why I don't donate. More often than not it ends up your money goes into the pockets of those running it.

[thatonegirl]

Every single charity should have to have a forensic tax auditing firm assigned to the funds.

[essienrocks]

this deserves way more attention than the will smith slap, when people said will set us back, i thought it was an overreaction, this right here definitely set us back and they should be prosecuted

[KinoTechUSA]

Woah, real reporting from TYT, im honestly shocked.

[marytyra]

it is disappointing, they could have done SO much with that money. So much, and I doubt folks will be giving money again. This was lightning in a bottle which could have been a pivotal point for many generations.

[brandonmclendon]

This is the main reason why I don’t donate money to organizations, and this shit is giving the movement BLM a bad name and it’s already been through a ton of animosity since George Floyd’s murder.

[garyperry]

The Young Turks were a little late to the party and a little to idealistic to open their "journalistic" eyes.
They put personal politics above truth and real justice on this issue.

[broz]

They should be dealt with harshly, if proven guilty of misappropriation of those donations, for the damage this does to the idea of BLM. This is sick and sad.

[shawnnewell]

I hate it when this happens to what should have been an organization to help others who have been mistreated.

[cevinone]

I'm beyond disgusted. These greedy individuals are giving a righteous movement a bad image
