Lot of liberal crooks in BLM....
Black Lives Matter Movement
In 2013, three radical Black organizers — Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi — created a Black-centered political will and movement building project called #BlackLivesMatter. It was in response to the acquittal of Trayvon Martin’s murderer, George Zimmerman.

The FBI arrested a Black Lives Matter activist for allegedly using over $200,000 in donations on personal expenses.
"In sum, Page has spent over $200,000 on personal items generated from donations received through BLMGA Facebook page with no identifiable purchase or expenditure for social or racial justice," FBI agent Matthew Desorbo said.
He was charged with one count of wire fraud and two counts of money laundering. He was released on bond after appearing before a judge via video.
BLM Founder with Massive Wealth and Four Homes to Step Down
Patrisse Cullors, the Black Lives Matter co-founder with four homes and millions in the bank, announced on Thursday she is stepping down from the organization, Aaron Morrison reported for AP.
"I’ve created the infrastructure and the support, and the necessary bones and foundation, so that I can leave,” she said. "It feels like the time is right."
Morrison also reported:
As Leah reported last month, Cullors really brought negative attention upon herself with that latest home in a California neighborhood where less than 2 population is black, and carries with it a price tag of $1.4 million.
Coverage of the story from the New York Post was censored by Facebook, however.
Wealth is not inherently a bad thing. Cullors must surely be living the American dream. What is bad is that Cullors isn't exactly living like the "trained Marxist" she appears so proud to be, especially since she's said it was "really cool" for people to "make that connection" between her writing and Mao's red book.
Morrison also included statements from fellow BLM activists who are less than pleased about where the money is going and to whom. BLM took in over $90 million last year:
Rev. Dickerson isn't the only one with complaints. Julio highlighted a Facebook post last month from Breonna Taylor's mother, Tamika Palmer. In it she called the Louisville chapter of BLM "frauds" and criticized the organization for raising money but that they "never done a damn thing for us nor have we needed it."
Tamika Palmer, the mother of Breonna Taylor, posted on Facebook how upset she was at people who have claimed to be there for her family but have done nothing for them, specifically calling the Louisville chapter of Black Lives Matter "frauds."
As Julio shared:
Katie reported with regards to that $90 million that the BLM affiliates have lamented their lack of funding. In addition to Morrison's AP report from February, she referenced one from Politco as evidence the founders are rake in profits, taking advantage of the local groups.
