Amazon Suspends Black Lives Matter from its Charity Platform
New York Post ^ | February 17, 2022 | Isabel Vincent

The beleaguered Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation has been kicked off Amazon’s charity platform for its failure to disclose where tens of millions in donations it received nearly two years ago have ended up.

AmazonSmile, which gives a portion of eligible purchases on the online shopping site to charities, said it “had to temporarily suspend” the group today, an Amazon spokesperson told The Post.

“States have rules for nonprofits, and organizations participating in AmazonSmile need to meet those rules,” the spokesperson said. “Unfortunately this organization fell out of compliance with the rules in several states, so we’ve had to temporarily suspend them from the program until they come into compliance.”

Amazon will have to refund donors' money that went to Black Lives MatterTM as well. Amazon was a willing participant in a grift and didn't do their due diligence in vetting a fraudulent organization.

Where did the money go?

New houses, new cars, shiny expensive hubcaps for old cars, “bling”... do I need to go on?

"for its failure to disclose where tens of millions..."

Oh, that. Well, drugs, cars, guns, sex, and some other things. Are we cool now?

Will the hate and blame Whitey group be made to follow the rules that other people follow?
Or will it get a free pass?

“Where did the money go?”

“Where do we take it from here?
Rhinestone suits and new shiny cars
It’s been the same way for years
We need a change”

I think one of the women founders had like three or four homes and had just purchased a million + home in Canada. She got out of the organization before all this came up.

Good. Now take all that preferential "blackness" crap from their streaming movie selections on Prime. It's ridiculous and, since I never owned a slave, refuse to feel any guilt for what my ancestors did.

Besides, outside of a few movies with Sidney Poitier, their selections are garbage.

This can only mean that BLM has changed their name to something else and hasn’t told anyone but Amazon.

They were able to purchase a nice house in Canada.

I notice our Canadian government didn’t have a problem with those US based donations crossing the border.

Donate to a trucker…”terrorist financing”

Donate to BLM so they can burn crap down and buy new houses…not a peep

Is Amazon replacing BLM with Al Sharpton as the house black “charity”? I understand he needs another pimp fur coat.

Terrorists, more likely.

Donors to BLM don’t deserve their money back.
