Black Lives Matter's national organization is at risk of going bankrupt after its finances plunged $8.5 million into the red last year - while simultaneously handing multiple staff seven-figure salaries.
Financial disclosures obtained by The Washington Free Beacon show the perilous state of BLM's Global Network Foundation, which officially emerged in November 2020, as a more formal way of structuring the civil rights movement.

Internal reparations
So an organization that was actually created to protect black criminals from being policed, and to obscure the fact that urban blacks have a propensity to commit crime, has now been done in by the corruption and criminality of its own founders. Youโve gotta love it.
Black lives ripping off other black lives and getting away Scot free.
Was anyone expecting something different?
These people are misfits.
Do they serve any benefit to anyone?
I guess math wasn’t their strong point.
What a racket!
‘Consulting’ and ‘security services’ mean prostitutes and crack.
It is all about using the race card to implement graft.
Like everything the eft does, follow the money.
Grifters gotta grift.

By their own messaging it wouldn’t be. In recent years we’ve been told by these people that math was racist, physical fitness is rooted in white supremacy, a solid work ethic is rooted in white supremacy, virtually anything that promotes or strengthens the family is racist, and as of a couple of days ago, that waking up early is white supremacy.
BLM. Almost as big a swindle as African “reparations” in Cauliphonya.
Socialism works until you run out of saps monies.. LOL!
Sounds like these marxists are going to gift us with another, “Summer of Love,” to try and extort more money from leftist corporations.
I wonder how much Budweiser will pitch in...
time to trot out all the pix of those that kneeled before the altar - like Mayor Garcetti of L A. hall of shame shame shame time.
yes!
