BLM WAS ALWAYS A FRAUD

I wrote here about the fact that the umbrella Black Lives Matter organization, the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, is a fraud. It collected $90 million, largely from panicked corporations, and no one knows what happened to the money, except that a lot of it was spent on luxury real estate purchases and other perks for the organization’s leaders.

But the truth turns out to be even worse than that. BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors has said publicly that the organization did not even attempt to function as a legal entity. First, a little background: every 501(c)(3) organization, of which there are hundreds of thousands, is required to file a Form 990 with the IRS every year. The form includes basic information about the organization, like how much money it brought in, what projects it spent the money on, and how much the principals were paid. This is a totally routine obligation of which everyone in the nonprofit world is well aware.

Except, apparently, the people who ran BLMGNF:

The embattled activist [Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors], who is facing renewed criticism following reports BLM Global Network Foundation, while under her control, purchased a $6 million Los Angeles mansion, said she gets triggered whenever she hears the term IRS Form 990, the document charities are required to file to the public every year disclosing their financial activities.

As long as there is welfare and “public education,” socialism has more than a grip on our Constitutional Republic.

“Oh, but if you take away welfare and free school, they’ll riot and burn and.......”

They’re already doing that.

BLM was about getting Trump out of office, it was never about Black people or their wellbeing. Communists organizations, banding with Fascist organizations, paid for by fascists corporations and endorsed by communist china, to get Trump out and Biden in.

This was NEVER going to help Americans of any color. Especially not Black Americans, who will return to poverty quickly under Biden. They should have called it what it was:

BLBSP=Black Lives Back to Socialist Plantations.

All true, I'd add it was also about pimping to enrich themselves, as we have seen. Also, the Dems turned a blind eye because they rely on the Black vote and need to gin up Blacks to get them to the polls or enlist them to gather fraudulently cast ballots..

Of course it was - obvious to anyone who read their policy stands on their website that were there - taking policy stances the overwhelming majority of black Americans opposed. They’ve since deleted this page, apparently. “trained marxists”, admired Fidel Castro, Chairman Mao, eliminate marriage and family as a matter of public policy, eliminate police, etc. But they got support because of the mere phrase “Black Lives Matter” and if you didn’t support this organization, that must you don’t believe “Black Lives Matter” and you are a racist.

Michael Brown, I believe.

n 2013, three radical Black organizers — Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi — created a Black-centered political will and movement building project called #BlackLivesMatter. It was in response to the acquittal of Trayvon Martin’s murderer, George Zimmerman.

I get it, who really cares about the supposed origins of a fraudulent organization anyway.

Killing in self-defense is NOT murder.

I saw on tv this morning some new charity is sending little kids around begging for money

( flashback UNICEF ripoff)

to buy blankets for ukrain.

Guarantee you someone is making bank in that one,

you could check them out they may have a few kid squads left.

[jpp113]

They’re embezzling money, plain and simple

All tax exempt status should be stripped

RICO (States have their own RICO acts, hint hint)

The Malibu house was listed at 3.8 Mil on a Monday afternoon and BLM bought it for 6.1 Mil on Tuesday morning. Bet there was an increase in BLM Officers’ personal bank account balances totaling around 2 Mil soon after the closing

[drSteve78]

Only idiots didn’t see that one coming from a mile away....

There are , in fact, a large number of idiots. And idiot sheeple.

[Renkluaf]

Duh!

[Trillian]

Black fraud matters.

[Sans-Culotte]

Yes, they are a bunch of grifters, just like Jesse Jackass and Sharpton. But as always, the Left knows how to message. It's brilliant to call their shakedown organization "Black Lives Matter". That way, if someone is asked "do you support Black Lives Matter?", and you say "uh, no", then they can say "oh, so you don't believe black lives matter?" Then you're left saying "no!, I mean yes!, I mean..." It's the old "are you still beating your wife?" approach.
