Mothers criticize BLM activists for profiting off their dead sons

Grief-stricken mothers who have accused Black Lives Matter of profiting from the deaths of their sons condemned the group’s embattled co-founder Patrisse Cullors after she announced she was stepping down from the movement.

“I don’t believe she is going anywhere,” Samaria Rice, the mother of a 12-year-old boy shot by Cleveland police while playing with a toy gun, told The Post. “It’s all a facade. She’s only saying that to get the heat off her right now.”

Lisa Simpson, a Los Angeles-based mother whose son was slain by police in 2016, also blasted Cullors.

“Now she doesn’t have to show her accountability,” Simpson, 52, told The Post. “She can just take the money and run.”

I’ve heard that Patrisse Cullors and Alicia Garza are both self admitted Marxists.

Yep. Patrisse called herself a Marxist and complained that communism wasn’t more powerful in the USA.

In the old Soviet union, mentioning the KGB in public invited a visit from the KGB. Coming soon to your town.

"...Khan-Cullors tearfully defended her $3.2 million real estate empire,..."

I'm Not A Thief
(Sung to the tune of I'm Not In Love" by 10cc)

I'm not a thief, so don't forget it
It's just a grifting phase I'm going through
And just because I took your cash
Your virtue signal’s still a badge you wear
I'm not a thief, no-no
(It's because...)

I like to scam you, but then again
That doesn't mean your Leftist creds are gone
So if I rob you, don't make a fuss
Don't tell the evening news I’m stealing cash
I'm not a thief, no-no
(It's because...)

(Be quiet, Marxists don't cry)
Marxists don't cry)
(Marxists don't cry)
(Marxists don't cry)
(Marxists don't cry)
(Marxists don't cry)
(Marxists don't cry)

I got my mansions with stolen cash
I hide the cash transfers in bank accounts
So don't you ask me to give it back
I know you know I got no salary
I'm not a thief, no-no
(It's because...)

Ooh, the suckers threw cash at me
Ooh, the suckers threw cash

Ooh, the suckers threw cash at me
Ooh, the suckers threw cash

I'm not a thief, so don't forget it
It's just a grifting phase I'm going through
And just because I took your cash
Your virtue signal’s still a badge you wear, ooh

I'm not a thief, I'm not a thief…

...embattled co-founder Patrisse Cullors after she announced she was stepping down from the movement...

Why not? She made her millions from stupid woke people and corporations. How can Floyd be the poster child for BLM when there are pictures of him holding a pregnant lady hostage during a robbery and he's holding a gun to her belly? That's the best BLM can offer up? BLM is little more than a bunch of thugs with a slogan.

Politicians are so enamored with photo ops, they don't bother to check out what they are doing. Here they are all wearing Kente scarves, which belonged to the largest slave-trading tribe in Africa.

seems strange that a leader of a movement has been such a recluse.

has she been to any blm events? given a speech? any public appearances?

where is her “I have a dream speech”?

BLM activists are mostly white liberals with a token black dupe thrown in here and there. This country will begin to return to decency when real Black people start beating them down.

“It’s all a facade. She’s only saying that to get the heat off her right now…now she doesn’t have to show her accountability…She can just take the money and run.”

That’s good and encouraging that Ms. Simpson recognizes the truth about BLM. Now, if only she would recognize the truth and reality about her deceased son...

The shooting occurred at the public housing project…officers saw a group of people who began dispersing and running away…As police chased them, the suspect produced a handgun. Shots were exchanged between the suspect and officers. During the gun battle, an officer was struck in the left arm and the suspect was struck by police gunfire…the gunman fired at least ten rounds. The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene. KTLA reported that the suspect’s mother, Lisa Simpson, said he was running across the street when he was shot and killed by police.

I’m very tired of the anti- white movement and their sick racism.

I don’t really give a damn about the politics or color of these racist people and won’t apologize for my “whiteness” nor MY culture.

They ALL can take a long, long walk off a very short pier.

Color me FED UP.
