Black Lives Matter cashes in with $100 million from liberal foundations

For all its talk of being a street uprising, Black Lives Matter is increasingly awash in cash, raking in pledges of more than $100 million from liberal foundations and others eager to contribute to what has become the grant-making cause du jour.

The Ford Foundation and Borealis Philanthropy recently announced the formation of the Black-Led Movement Fund [BLMF], a six-year pooled donor campaign aimed at raising $100 million for the Movement for Black Lives coalition.

That funding comes in addition to more than $33 million in grants to the Black Lives Matter movement from top Democratic Party donor George Soros through his Open Society Foundations, as well as grant-making from the Center for American Progress.

“The BLMF provides grants, movement building resources, and technical assistance to organizations working advance the leadership and vision of young, Black, queer, feminists and immigrant leaders who are shaping and leading a national conversation about criminalization, policing and race in America,” said the Borealis announcement.

In doing so, however, the foundations have aligned themselves with the staunch left-wing platform of the Movement for Black Lives, which unveiled a policy agenda shortly after the fund was announced accusing Israel of being an “apartheid state” guilty of “genocide.”

The Black Lives Matter movement exploded in August 2014 after an officer shot dead unarmed 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri.

Founded on a lie and now very well funded with $100 million by various hate America groups.

We're sure to see many more major incidents by these hate groups leading up to the November election.

Yes we will, I think everyone should count on them making a concerted effort to delay and disrupt the election. God save us if that man declares a state of emergency delaying the election...

Donations to kill cops, loot, steal and burn buildings......in other words, they are being paid to cause chaos and destruction.
Total insanity.
Time to arm yourselves and begin a tax revolt.
Right now your money is going to BLM and to bring illegals in here, pay for their every need and to insure their vote for Obama and his puppet, Hillary.

There are multiple crimes committed when BLM demonstrates. The crime starts with the planning and the money. It ends when they get to walk away without arrest. That crime is committed by a mayor or PD or both.

A legitimate department of justice, state or federal would have been on this since the second time whichever one that was and by now incited those responsible.

Everything is assbackwards in our country. You can blow up a gas stain, fund and incite a riot, shoot and throw things at cops. assault others and there is no consequences except dinner at the WH.

These are unbelievably large sums. Is there a better source than the Washington Times confirming it?

Always remember these words: secrecy, stealth, sniper, blitzkrieg, gorilla and many other words that denote wisdom. Without wisdom people are merely sitting ducks.

And these black fools think somehow this kind of sick crap is going to make life better for them. Just the opposite.

Useful idiots of the radical Marxist left.

Don’t forget to run out and buy a new Ford! Union made in America! Ford, built and run on true American values! Oh, and did I mention they are made here in America? Don’t worry about your money going to anti-American hate groups advocating for the murder of police officers! Just remember to buy American!

Thanks for the ping.

Death and Plunder…the calling cards of socialism.

The lie is the weapon used most often by the criminal.

And there it is. Always follow the cash. The more retarded the cause, the bigger the payday, as long as it's a liberal scam.

I'm racking my brain to come up with some idiotic scam that liberal pukes will love. Clothing farm animals for decency? Buck Henry did that till he got busted. That might swing again for awhile.
