BLM Grifting
« on: April 09, 2022, 05:32:55 PM »
Wow. The HUFFINGTON POST no less, is calling out BLM for grifting. A day late and a dollar short, but better than the protection BLM was getting from the MSM up until now. If you're not aware, the leaders just bought another mansion, this one for $6 million.

I thought it was 2.7 million. Maybe they will get the facts lined out at some point.
Sometimes we carry more weight then we owe.
And sometimes goes on and on and on.

That was a different house. They've bought like three or four of them in the last year.

The only surprise about BLM grifting is . . . that some people are surprised.

On a related topic - does anyone think the "bail money" raised for rioters by other organizations all went to provide bail for those arrested?    :rofl:

Last 990 (IRS form for non-profits) they filed showed they raised no money, spent no money, and paid no employees

Sounds like they are following the Al Sharpton tax method.

Black Lives Matter PAC siphoned away almost all of its cash reserves during the first three months of 2022, with the largest chunk of funds going to a firm owned by a BLM board member.

BLM PAC ended March with just $19,750 in the bank after raising $80,000 and spending $116,000 during the first quarter, according to a filing submitted to the Federal Election Commission on Friday. The group has burned through nearly 94% of its available cash reserves since the start of 2021, when it controlled a $305,000 war chest.
