DC should cut ties with shady Black Lives Matter organization
Whatever good intentions there may have originally been behind Black Lives Matter, the organization has devolved into a scam. It is far past time for Washington to remove its slogan from outside the White House.
Founded in 2013 after Trayvon Martin was shot while assaulting a policeman, BLM was little more than a hashtag and a website until George Floyd’s murder in May 2020. That's when the money spigot erupted. Corporations and celebrities became desperate to have their brands linked with BLM and sent tens of millions of dollars to the organization.
Unfortunately, that money appears to have been, at best, wasted — and more likely used to enrich a select few people involved with the BLM brand. After reports that she used BLM funds to buy herself millions of dollars' worth of real estate, BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors resigned from the organization last May.
The two activists she named as successors say they were never actually hired by the organization and have no idea who is in charge or what has happened to the more than $60 million in assets it possesses.

America should cut ties with DC. Move the every small, but really needed core of the federal government to a corn field in Nebraska. Shutter the rest.
“...after Trayvon Martin was shot while assaulting a policeman...”
George Zimmerman was a policeman? Somebody at the Washington Examiner needs to proof read the articles before posting them.
BLM is just another African criminal enterprise designed to rip off the retarded and ignorant “white guilt” folks of their money.
Idiots. The Rats and BLM are allies under the control of globalist monsters. They are joined at the hip.
Is there a list of companies that funded BLM? Company directors and/or managers have a duty to use company funds wisely, for the purposes the corporation or company exists, and to assure the funds are not going to a scam. Funding BLM failed on all counts. Lots of people need to reimburse stockholders and “pursue other opportunities” over this.
Such a mild descriptor for this thug operation..
BLM was set up with the help and influence of Obama / Holder’s DOJ to be street muscle to push some of their keys social and political programs
Are they no longer useful to the Left?
There’s a reason I call it
Washington District of Cartels.
TaliBiden Slave Runners Cartel is just one of many there.
They fit right in w DC.
blm/antifa never had any good intentions. their subsequent actions have proven that.
“Whatever good intentions there may have originally been behind Black Lives Matter, the organization has devolved into a scam.”
I don’t believe I ever saw any good intentions out of BLM.
“Corporations and celebrities became desperate to have their brands linked with BLM”
No, they were extorted into donating millions, in the name of
“racism”.
BLM has always been another shakedown, just like “the reverends Inc.”
“Company directors and/or managers have a duty to use company funds wisely, for the purposes the corporation or company exists, and to assure the funds are not going to a scam.”
So true. But nothing will be done.
BLM attempted to assassinate a liberal Democrat candidate for the city of Louisville. They need to declared a domestic terror outfit.
Mayor Bow Wow and DC are shady, so...
Freeze the corporation’s bank accounts. They hold unacceptable views.
IIRC the democimmies just took control of the “$blm” “brand”. Very fitting.
You are correct. Trafficking in ‘white guilt’ is their stock in trade.
There are sixty million reasons why that will never happen. This trough isn’t empty yet and a lot of corporate fools are refilling it as fast as they can.
