Surprised I am not. I don’t know why they even wasted their time putting the article together and investigating this. It’s not like anyone has the stones to do anything about all this illegal activity

BLM's shocking lack of transparency surrounding its finances and operations raises major legal and ethical red flags, multiple charity experts told the Washington Examiner.


Founder buys up 4-5 luxury homes around the country, then steps down as soon as people start asking questions about how she could afford all that...and there's still anybody who's shocked that the organization's finances look shady?

When a movement becomes an organization that's when the big red flags go up.

Looks like the government didn't pay up for the riots like they promised.

Guess Black lives do not matter to these people. Just the people pulling in the dough.

Ladies and gentlemen I am just shocked and speechless.

is this a serious comment?

Maybe, if Jason Williams needs to leave the city of NO, he may send his resume to blm. perfect fit. on second thought, the other thieves may not like extra hands in the same cookie jar.

As I've said from the beginning of this bullshite: there are good people doing legitimate work in most every community.

That's the truth. The larger the organization, the greater the likelihood they are corrupt. Not all of them are as blatantly obvious as the sham that is BLM, but they are still corrupt.

Let this be another lesson that you do due diligence in finding an organization to support. The general rule being that the farther it is removed from your community, the more hands are in the pot. Find an organization close to home that is doing good work and deserving of your money. It stands a far greater chance of impacting your life in a positive way.

The worst thing that has happened to many good-intentioned small, locally-operated charitable organizations is that they decided to hitch their wagons to a large, national organization for the sake of a few crumbs.

The multi-billion dollar Race Grievance Industry is the most corrupt and morally-bankrupt grift in American history. The old-school televangelists were absolute amateurs by comparison.

This is a shame. Just in time for riot season, too.

BLM has just been stagnant waiting for the next election cycle to hear back up and rile up public opinion and hand wringing over non existent or hyper-inflated issues.
