BLM co-founder: Charity transparency laws are 'triggering'
Washington Examiner ^ | April 13, 2022 | Andrew Kerr

Posted on 04/13/2022 5:19:49 AM PDT by Mr. Mojo

Laws that require charities to disclose their finances and activities to the public endanger the lives of activists, Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors said at a recent event.

The embattled activist, who is facing renewed criticism following reports BLM Global Network Foundation, while under her control, purchased a $6 million Los Angeles mansion, said she gets triggered whenever she hears the term IRS Form 990, the document charities are required to file to the public every year disclosing their financial activities.

"It is such a trip now to hear the term '990,'" Cullors said Friday during an event at the Vashon Center for the Arts. "I'm, like, ugh. It's, like, triggering."

"This doesn't seem safe for us, this 990 structure — this nonprofit system structure," Cullors said. "This is, like, deeply unsafe. This is being literally weaponized against us, against the people we work with."

So... EVERYBODY running a "Charity" is required by Law to produce this form on demand.

So I guess this means "Equity" is Racist. Who knew?

This is a joke, right? She did not really call form 990 “triggering?” Right?

You can take the criminal out of the “Hood”, but you can’t take the hood out of the criminal.

To criminals and scam artists, all laws are triggering and “weaponized” against them.

You are correct, Patrice. Laws do tend to trip up criminals and thieves such as yourself.

The problem is that the widespread disregard for any norms has spread far outside the black subculture - and there is no way to walk this back without admitting they can’t be held to any standard at all.

COVID presented a real dilemma for Dems; blacks who allegedly couldn’t present an ID to vote were now required to show TWO IDs to enter establishments (the COVID passport and a PHOTO ID to indicate they were the person named on the passport).

I’ll give credit where it is due; mass black resistance to the “vaccines” spared many of us even stronger coercion to let them test out their dangerous drugs.

Sure, I can see the requirement to disclose BLM’s finances would trigger feelings of panic.

Knowing the her gravy train might be derailed would certainly cause some anxiety.

The idea of loosing your beautiful home and going bankrupt would give anyone the jitters.
