Seems the 'Marxist" is getting wealthy off of the organization:

Nolte: Head of NY BLM Calls for Investigation into Cofounder's Million Dollar Home Purchases

“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's sad yes, though more or less de rigeur. Let's not forget that many of our pastors lead similarly extravagant lifestyles.

Does it undercut and delegitimise everything she personally stand for? Perhaps. I think we need to compare her lifestlye to that of similarly influential/important figures.
Does it undercut and delegitmise the movement? Absolutely not. Justice and equality won't be delegitimised.
Am I surprised? Not even remotely! BLM is not a hierarchical, centralised movement anyway so it's largely irrelevant what the so called 'founder' does.


The article is an attempted character assasination. I'm disappointed that she doesn't pursue a lifestyle more in harmony with her political philosophu and position. My disappointment is of no consequence however.

{snip}The article is an attempted character assasination.

The "news source" (and I use the term lightly) is Breitbart. We can't honestly expect anything better.

As for the source, if there are posters who quote sources like:

The Guardian
Salon

and other such sources, then I will post like sources from the other side of the spectrum. The articles cites the NYPost - the nations second oldest news paper.

Is "the other side of the spectrum" more important than truth?

Hawk Newsome is a fraud who hijacked the BLM name to engage in fundraising for himself

Is he the black supremacist in NY that believes that Harlem should be for black people only and whites should be removed?

I don't see how anyone can hijack Black Lives Matter if it claims to be decentralized and community based. If any black people can join and advocate for anything.....he's as legitimate as the rest.

First thread on this topic
BLM founder moves to rich white neighborhood

Second thread in this topic
Inside BLM co-founder Patrisse Khan-Cullors’ million-dollar real estate buying binge

Not sure there's a prize for third. But it's nice to know what passes for really important news in the post Trump era.

Truth is truth no matter the source.

Agreed -- but did this source give you the thread's original (false and misleading) title, or did you do that on your own?

Just because you don't like the source doesn't mean the story is false. If you believe it is, post one that contradicts it.....using supporting evidence of course.

The one I edited to make more accurate? Are you complaining about that one? Is complaining about something not there any more adding to, or deflecting from the topic of the thread?
