The National Legal and Policy Center watchdog group filed a complaint in April against BLM alleging that its mansion purchase was a clear violation of IRS law.

BLM also granted $8 million to BLM Canada to help purchase a mansion in Toronto...

Did a lot for all the 401Ks and stocks that black people own.

These companies need to be class actioned to death. Nothing they do meets anything close to their fiduciary responsibilities.

These korporations need to pay back the U.S. taxpayers for their false tax deductions because the payments to Black Lives MatterTM were not legitimate donations.
