While the Black Lives Matter Global Network, led by ‘trained Marxist’ Patrisse Cullors, embraced the windfall of donations following the George Floyd protests across America, local chapters say they were left holding the bag. It was through the hard work of “radical black organizers” engaging in a “protracted struggle for our lives against police terrorism” that Black Lives Matter attracted millions of dollars in contributions this year, yet the BLMGN only recently invited selected chapters to apply for a $500,000 grant, ten chapters from across the US said in a statement this week.
“This is not the equity and financial accountability we deserve,” they declared.
The Global Network is “not accountable to local communities” and chapters, and due to its lack of support their work “continues to be erased,” Black Lives Matter DC said in a twitter thread. The newly announced BLM political action committee (PAC) and Grassroots entities were set up without the chapter approval – or even knowledge. “[All] of these events occurred without democracy,” the chapters said.

The true purpose of socialism is the redistribution of wealth to the redistributors and their goons, cronies, minions and families.
It's OK, individual members can keep all they can loot, and pay the loot upward to the execs of the Chapters, ... or else there will be a drive by ...
Yup. $25+ Trillion since cra64 didn’t quite do it so now a majority of corporations “feel” obligated (read ‘guilty’) to kneel to this extortion and pony up billions to help “buy equality”. And some dumbasses actually thought/think it’s about “the cause”?. Only be’cause’ somebody be gettin’ “mo money, mo money”. You’ve been had once again by the democommie puppet masters.
Nothing more.
It has to be!!!
It has to be because it is a non-productive, zero-sum game. It is actually a less than zero-sum game because the winners pull more out of the system than the losers can put in. That's the nature of greed.
Capitalism is different.
What we call "capitalism" (actually, the free market system) fosters creativity and productivity by rewarding it. By rewarding creativity/productivity, this system grows and the "pot" becomes larger and larger...and everyone becomes wealthier over time.
Socialists have no morals and no ethics by definition and Democrats which they all surely are are dishonest. That Democrats/dishonest is a stereotype I just came up with and it, like most or all stereotypes, is generally true.
And what type of news operation is RT ?
Socialism is for the little people. It does not apply to the top tier.
Four legs good, two legs better.

Benjamins matter!
Not a surprise in the least.
Will these local chapters see this as a learning experience and wake up to the fact this is a cause without a reason? I won’t hold my breath.
