Cullors steps down as BLM executive director following real-estate spending spree
More about this story from yesterday.
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] Last summer was when America first learned about Black Lives Matter, as an official organization, being founded by believers of Marxism.

But BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors
...Sticky fingered co-founder of Black Lives Matter. An avowed communist, she collects real estate like people used to collect stamps, when not checking into luxury resorts for conferences...
more recently gained notoriety for her success in capitalism, as last month the public learned about her spending $3.2 million for four separate homes.

However today we’re learning Cullors is stepping down from her post. She’s the final founder of the Black Lives Matter organization to do so.

An official statement announcing Patrisse’s departure was published by the Black Lives Matter Twitter page.

In her place, according to the organization, two interim Senior Executives will take her place in the meantime. 1.) Makani Themba, Chief Strategist at Higher Ground Change Strategies, and former executive director of The Praxis Project. 2.) Monifa Bandele, Chief Operating Officer at Time’s Up Foundation.

As co-founder of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (BLMGNF), Cullors accomplishments included: launching a political action committee for BLM, a grassroots “sister organization” to BLMGNF, and donating $25 million to “Black-led organizations and Black families around the country.”

At the end of April it was reported that an LA jail reform group funded by Cullors spent $26,000 for “meetings” at a luxury Malibu resort. On top of that, earlier this month news broke about Cullors funneling $238,000 to a company run by her child’s “baby daddy.”
The money being a sticking point given the past headlines surrounding the BLM co-founder’s wealth. At the end of April it was reported that an LA jail reform group funded by Cullors
...that’d be the cleverly named Reform LA Jails, which joined Black Lives Matter PAC — the political wing of the thing, also funded by Ms Cullors — in hiring the baby daddy’s Trap Heals art company, whatever that is...
spent $26,000 for “meetings” at a luxury Malibu resort. On top of that, earlier this month news broke about Cullors funneling $238,000 to a company run by her child’s “baby daddy.”

According to the New York Post, Patrisse Cullors is denying her leaving is connected to the recent controversies.

“Those were right-wing attacks that tried to discredit my character, and I don’t operate off of what the right thinks about me,” she said.

It was last month when Cullors and the Black Lives Matter Twitter account accused her critics of entertaining “white supremacy” by talking about her amassed wealth.

Well, you're resigning; guess those 'right-wing attacks' worked after all.

#4 I don’t operate off of what the right thinks about me

You're an operator all right. You've stolen about $5 million (?) that we can trace. Where'd the other $85 million go?

#5 donating $25 million to “Black-led organizations and Black families around the country"

Really? Was that money actually sent and used for charitable purposes as per 501(c)3 laws?

Who audits their books? Who are these organizations and families?

Oh, and why families-- didn't Cullors and her fellow marxists denounce "the patriarchal hetero-normative two-parent family" as a primary "tool" of "oppression" of black people?

#6 These grifters are paid agents of the Democrat Party.

Contributions to BLM = political donations because BLM's activity is essentially an in-kind political contribution to Democrat candidates for office.

Prosecute them for violations of campaign finance laws. Shut them down

Those laws are for the white oppressors, so just you never mind.

#12 CAn't we just fast forward to the part of the revolution where Robspierre gets decapitated and Trotsky winds up with an ice axe sticking out of his skull without anyone real getting hurt?
