BLM Responds To Criticism Of Co-Founder: ‘Right-Wing Offensive’ Which ‘Continues A Tradition Of Terror By White Supremacists’




The statement described a “false and defamatory article being amplified by right-wing media.”

“Patrisse Cullors is the Executive Director of Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (BLMGNF). She serves in this role in a volunteer capacity and does not receive a salary or benefits. Patrisse has received a total of $120,000 since the organization’s inception in 2013, for duties such as serving as spokesperson and engaging in political education work. Patrisse did not receive any compensation after 2019,” the statement began.

The organization then explicitly reiterated their rejection of the claim that Cullors received any “organizational resources.”


“To be abundantly clear, as a registered 501c3, BLMGNF cannot and did not commit any organizational resources toward the purchase of personal property by any employee or volunteer. Any insinuation to the contrary is categorically false,” the statement continued.

Head of NY BLM Calls for Investigation into Cofounder’s Million Dollar Home Purchases



“Hawk Newsome, the head of Black Lives Matter (BLM) Greater New York City … called for ‘an independent investigation’ into how the global network spends its money” after BLM cofounder Patrisse Khan-Cullors spent $3.2 million on homes in predominantly white neighborhoods, the New York Post reported Saturday.

“If you go around calling yourself a socialist, you have to ask how much of her own personal money is going to charitable causes,” he told the Post. “It’s really sad because it makes people doubt the validity of the movement and overlook the fact that it’s the people that carry this movement.”

Gee, ya think?

BLM has been raking in the cash to further the cause of black America while Khan-Cullors, BLM’s cofounder and a self-proclaimed Marxist, dropped millions to live with white people.

According to the Post, her most recent purchase was a “custom ranch” in Georgia that sits on “3.2 rural acres” and features a “private airplane hangar with a studio apartment above it[.]”

I’m sorry, but aren’t radical leftists such as Khan-Cullors supposed to be boycotting Georgia? Well, I guess she doesn’t want to give up that “three-bedroom, two-bath house, about 30 minutes from Atlanta [that] has an indoor swimming pool and a separate ‘RV shop’ that can accommodate the repair of a mobile home or small aircraft, according to the real estate listing.”

It is so easy to move money out of a tax free foundation and distribute it out however you please. Nice and clean money too. The question to really ask is how much money has BLMGNF paid to her and her wife's "consulting firm", not necessarily to her.

Yep, and the “custom ranch on 3.2 acres” — I guess that would seem huge to an apartment dweller, but 3.2 acres is NOT a “ranch” — that’s a medium-sized backyard in the countryside.

BLM Sent Legal Threats To NY Activist Who Called For Audit Of Cofounder’s $3.2 Million Home-Buying Spree


BLM Global Network Foundation, cofounded by Patrisse Cullors, sent cease-and-desist letters to BLM Greater New York leader Hank Newsome claiming Newsome’s group is illegally uses the Black Lives Matter name, according to The Daily Caller News Foundation (DCNF). Newsome earlier this week called for an independent investigation into Cullors’ finances after she reportedly spent millions on new properties.


BLM Greater New York is unaffiliated with the national BLM group and is illegally operating under the BLM name, the foundation argued in its letters to Newsome.

Newsome “is not and has never been a part of the official Black Lives Matter organization, but continues to use BLM’s name even after sending him multiple cease and desist letters. Therefore, any mention of him as a leader is not factual,” and outside spokesman for the BLM Global Network Foundation said. “Only BLM chapters who adhere to BLM’s principles and code of ethics are permitted to use the BLM name.”

The national BLM group does not have legal rights over the Black Lives Matter name. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office rejected six applications from the group to trademark the phrase.

She is one smart black woman. She is getting rich off of being black.

The same thing Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, Obama, and others have done.

Exactly. VraiFact gives the BLM statement 10 pinocchios. What happened is that BLM paid her foundation, which is basically Cullors' piggybank. This is what rich Democrats do to hide their wealth from Uncle Sam and not pay that fair share in taxes they're always whining about.
