Burn Loot Murder, Buy Large Mansions.

BLM founder Patrisse Cullors paid her baby father $970,000 for 'creative services', her brother $840,000 for security, a fellow director $2.1m and reimbursed the organization $73,000 for a charter flight

Black Lives Matter spent millions on 'consulting services' in 2021

Newly released tax filings revealed that BLM paid $970K to co-founder Patrisse Cullors' baby daddy to help 'produce live events' and provide 'creative services'

The foundation also paid her brother $840K for security services

A consulting firm run by BLM board member Shalomyah Bowers was paid $2.1M for providing the organization with operational support

Bowers said the last BLM board approved the contract with his firm when he was not a board member

The filing also revealed that Cullors reimbursed BLM $73K for a charter flight and paid the foundation $390 for private use of its $6M Los Angeles mansion

Cullors resigned from BLM last year amid a wave of scrutiny surrounding the charity's finances

Controversy surrounding the organization's finances has elicited probes by at least two state attorneys general

...

The foundation invested $32million in stocks from the $90million it received as donations amid racial justice protests in 2020.

The investment is expected to become an endowment to ensure the foundation's work continues in the future, organizers say.

But still, after spending more than $37million on grants, real estate, consultants and other expenses, the BLM movement is still worth tens of millions of dollars.

Also raising eyebrows was the fact that during the last fiscal year, Cullors was the foundation board's sole voting director and held no board meetings, according to the filing. Although that is permissible under Delaware law, where the foundation is incorporated, that governance structure gives the appearance that Cullors alone decided who to hire and how to spend donations.

However, current board members allege that was never the truth.

'This 990 reveals that (the BLM foundation) is the largest black abolitionist nonprofit organization that has ever existed in the nation's history. What we're doing has never been done before,' said Shalomyah Bowers, who serves as the foundation's board secretary.

'We needed to get dollars out to grassroots organizations doing the work of abolition, doing the work that would shift the moral tide of this world towards one that does not have or believe in police, prisons, jails or violence,' he said.

I'm not exactly sure what Patrice Cullors is trying to claim here -- but I think NottheBee is right. I think she's trying to claim that it's white people's fault that Burn Loot Murder hasn't filed its necessary paperwork and done its legally-required disclosure because white people flooded it with too much "white guilt money."

Those dirty birds.

Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors said the organization is awash with "White guilt money."

Cullors made the comment in an MSNBC podcast posted Monday afternoon in response to a question from host Trymaine Lee, who had asked if the organization's "tsunami of flooding" was shocking and if they had guardrails in place to ensure its cash was "being directed in the proper ways."

Meanwhile, Patrice Cullors is playing the Victim Card and claiming that Candace Owens is harassing her and threatening her.

In fact, all Candace Owens did was to ring her doorbell and politely ask if she could speak to anybody.

Owens proves this by releasing a side-by-side comparison of Cullors' lies -- and the actual video of what actually happened.

In this clip, Candace Owens notes that she was greeted at the door by a... white security guard.

A what?

A white security guard.

Must be nice, Patrice.

Must.

Be.

Nice.

By the way, I have no idea what Patrice Cullors' sexuality is and I am quite certain I do not want to know.
