BLM Founder Suddenly Resigns – You Won’t Believe What She Said
Patrisse Cullors was one of the co-founders for the activist group, Black Lives Matter. The group was formed to support the families of black people suffering from “police brutality.”
Recently it was discovered that Cullors was able to afford a $1.4 million home in a community with only a 1.4% population of blacks. Where did she get that kind of money? There shouldn’t be a lot of money in activism. Shouldn’t it be going back to the people the group claims to speak for?
It looks like the reveal rattled her because she’s now stepping down from BLM. Gotta grab that cash and get out while you can, right?
Patrisse Cullors, who has been at the helm of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation for nearly six years, said she is leaving to focus on other projects, including the upcoming release of her second book and a multi-year TV development deal with Warner Bros. Her last day with the foundation is Friday.
“I’ve created the infrastructure and the support, and the necessary bones and foundation, so that I can leave,” Cullors told The Associated Press. “It feels like the time is right.”

Yeah I’ll bet the time is right, now that you have a million dollar home.
Apparently BLM made over $90 million last year, with very little of that going to the actual familes.
Critics of the foundation contend more of that money should have gone to the families of Black victims of police brutality who have been unable to access the resources needed to deal with their trauma and loss.
“That is the most tragic aspect,” said the Rev. T. Sheri Dickerson, president of an Oklahoma City BLM chapter and a representative of the #BLM10, a national group of organizers that has publicly criticized the foundation over funding and transparency.
“I know some of (the families) are feeling exploited, their pain exploited, and that’s not something that I ever want to be affiliated with,” Dickerson said.

It looks like now we know where all that money has been going. For a woman who claims to be a “trained marxists” she’s sure doing really well for herself. No wonder she ran away before her actions got more attention.
