The Controversial Allocation of Funds in the Black Lives Matter Movement

The conclusion of one of the most colossal abuses of public trust in American history has come to light. America has unfortunately witnessed numerous scams over the years, including infamous names such as Enron, Bernie Madoff, Theranos, and most recently FTX. However, none of these can compare to the magnitude of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) fraud.

The Black Lives Matter movement became a significant force in American society, garnering substantial attention and financial support in recent years. However, recent revelations about the allocation of funds and the organization’s commitment to its stated objectives have undermined the movement’s core principles.

BLM’s success is now under question

With staggering donations of an estimated $200 million in recent years, it’s hard to believe that Black Lives Matter is currently facing financial difficulties. Discover where all that money disappeared to. Surprise, surprise! The funds did not contribute to enhancing the quality of life for the Black community.

BLM occupied a position of power and cultural relevance that the world’s greatest con artists could only dream of. But despite raking in nearly $200 million just in the last couple of years, Black Lives Matter is now on the verge of bankruptcy. So, where did all that money go? Well, shocker alert, it didn’t go to improving the lives of Black people. 

It didn’t even go to the purported victims that BLM promised to help out, as Breonna Taylor’s mom made clear when she called BLM a fraud back in 2021. Instead, the money that BLM raised went straight to the founder Patrisse Cullors. You see, as it turns out, Patrisse, who is a self-described Marxist, apparently loves the highlife, a common theme that we’ve seen with basically every single communist leader ever. 

Beware of who you trust

Reports have revealed that Patrisse Cullors used those BLM donations, which were raised under the pretense of fighting capitalism and empowering Black people, to enrich herself and to buy herself millions of dollars worth of property in some of the whitest communities that she could find. Like that $6 million mansion she purchased in Sioux City last year and another seven-figure property that she recently purchased near Malibu. 

But to be fair, Patrisse didn’t keep everything for herself. It’s not like she’s one of those greedy capitalists, after all. It turns out that Patrisse handed out millions and millions of those BLM donations to her close friends and family members too. It’s funny how the social justice activists who rail against the evils of capitalism and the United States always end up being, almost without fail, the greediest, unrepentant crooks of them all.

A lack of personal values and accountability

So, Cullors’ personal use of BLM donations extended beyond her own acquisitions. These revelations raise questions about the organization’s commitment to transparency and equitable distribution. They also underscore the irony of individuals who champion social justice while engaging in behavior that contradicts their professed values.

To make matters worse, Patrisse Cullors’ actions undermine the achievements of a movement that had inspired hope for change in millions of Americans. This incident highlights how one person’s actions can derail an entire movement. It also brings to light a need for transparency when grassroots organizations are gathering funds under the pretense of working toward a greater good. Ultimately, although Patrisse is now facing consequences for her actions, the real loss is felt by the millions of people who put their trust and money in her hands.
