Michael Brown's Father Demands $20M From Black Lives Matter, Other Ferguson Activists Request ‘Funding’
2021-03-05

Who had this grift on their 2021 bingo card? The father of Michael Brown is seeking $20M from Black Lives Matter, along with other activists in Ferguson, Missouri. The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation released an impact report to the Associated Press last week which shows a whopping $90M raised last year. Brown would like his piece of the pie now.

The deaths of Trayvon Martin in Florida in 2012 and Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri in 2014 were catalysts for the creation of Black Lives Matter. The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation is seen as a steward of the movement. Tens of millions of dollars were raised in 2020, helped tremendously by the protests and marches by BLM, especially during the Summer of Love, after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Celebrities and public figures fell all over themselves to jump on the bandwagon. Now that the movement has found such success, the founders — all self-proclaimed Marxists — want to do more than organize and instigate protest marches that lead to riots. They want to "uplift black joy and liberation."

#6  And not a dime of all that money they collected has gone to actually help a black person.
Most has been funneled to the DNC.
