BLM Finally Shows Financials – And The Picture Isn’t Pretty(Isn't pretty for who?)

For years now, the BLM organization has been pressured to be more transparent. People have been curious about how and from whom the group gets donations and where that money is being spent. Finally, in an exclusive to the Associated Press, the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation has released the numbers – but not all the information requested. “This marks the first time in the movement’s nearly eight-year history that BLM leaders have revealed a detailed look at their finances,” the AP said.

After the death of George Floyd at the hands of a police officer in May 2020, monetary donations started flooding into the organization – an amazing $90 million estimated for just last year. And the new financial report has some members scratching their heads and wondering even more where all the money has gone.

Pre-George Floyd Contributions And Spending The Global Network spent millions on “consultants, travel and compensation for its staff from July 2017 through June 2019, according to audited financial statements from its fiscal sponsor, Thousand Currents.” Apparently, only about 6% of the organization’s spending during those years went to outside organizations, including its independent affiliated chapters.

I didn't see this posted nor did I get a search result so..... It's pretty for someone. Here are some of the bigger outfits that caved into the extortion and dropped to their knees:

Amazon: up to $10 million.

Coca-Cola: $2.5 million in grants from Coca-Cola foundation to the NAACP, Equal Justice Initiative, and the National Center for Civil and Human Rights.

Facebook: $10 million.

Home Depot: $1 million donation to the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law.

Levi’s: $200,000 to the movement; $100,000 to the ACLU and $100,000 in grants to Live Free USA.

McDonalds: $1 million to the NAACP and the National Urban League.

Nike: $40 million over four years.

Target: $10 million.

Uber: $1 million.

YouTube: $1 million to the Center for Policing Equity.

Walmart: $100 million over five years to create a new center for racial equity.

And I've seen on the USAA main log in page that they're going to commit $50 million over the next 3 years..... And BOA said something about a $billion for equal houseing and underserved people. Just sayin'.

Probably not even close to the entire list. You know all the auto companies, aerospace companies, heck most of them companies nationwide have quickly caved in to this crap. But, probably, also, patrice culottes and shawn ‘talcum X’ king are doing okay.

The Organization will have to go out and run some more shakedowns if it wants to continue.

Probably will be encouraged to “go get more money” since they’ve shilled really hard for the Democrats.

Over a hundred years ago Booker Washington decried race hustlers who manipulate folks professionally, and get well paid for it.

Nothing has changed.

Content and happy people don’t need race hustlers so race hustlers labor endlessly to keep folks discontented and unhappy.

Tip of the iceberg. Korporate Amerika is giving to this "cause" in other ways....maybe not to blm.

They're supporting hbcus, naacp, etc.....

Promises of hiring more minorities and putting them into leadership.

If you're white in Korporate Amerika your chances of promotion just dwindled.

And, with hr now being controlled by the militant abws, the chances of being hired are slim as well.

These firms probably committed to hire only black actors for their advertisements.

The cynical joke used to be if one wanted to become wealthy and powerful, one should start a new religion. Now it seems that starting a new social justice organization is the path to massive wealth and power.

One in the same. The whole “social justice” phenomenon is every bit as much a religion as scientology or satanism.

Sure, Why Not?

Do you really think there are ANY Federal Prosecutors that would bring ANY Charges against BLM?

They are much more likely to Protect them.

Take a minute and think about that.

The summer of love’s burning, looting & murder! BLM raked in a lot of clams. I think any owner that was affected by the mostly peaceful riots should file a lawsuit!

BLM and Antifa were “organized” by obama.

Last year they were activated as the democrat party’s thug army.

Nothing will happen to them.
