As reported by the New York Post and the Daily Mail, 37-year-old Khan-Cullors has in recent years purchased a $1.4 million property in Los Angeles (her third in the city) as well as a $415,000, 3.2-acre property in Georgia.


April 16, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — Facebook is working to quash distribution of revelations about how the leading Black Lives Matter (BLM) organization’s homosexual co-founder Patrisse Khan-Cullors has enriched herself, as evidenced by the purchase of no less than four high-end residences totalling $3.2 million.

As reported by the New York Post and the Daily Mail, 37-year-old Khan-Cullors has in recent years purchased a $1.4 million property in Los Angeles (her third in the city) as well as a $415,000, 3.2-acre property in Georgia.

Her latest L.A. property boasts two houses with “soaring ceilings, skylights and plenty of windows,” while the Georgia home features a pool and even a hangar for a private jet. Her other L.A. homes reportedly cost $510,000 and $590,000, and she is apparently considering “property in the Bahamas at an ultra-exclusive resort where Justin Timberlake and Tiger Woods both have homes,” as well.

The revelations provoked questions about how she could afford such purchases, having been paid just $120,000 from 2013 to 2019 (roughly $17,000 per year) in her capacity as a BLM spokesperson. The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation insists that “as a registered 501c3, BLMGNF cannot and did not commit any organizational resources toward the purchase of personal property by any employee or volunteer.”

Khan-Cullors’s primary income appears to come through her “wife,” Black Lives Matter Toronto co-founder Janaya Khan, a professional public speaker who charges a fee ranging from $25,000-$39,999 per U.S. appearance. Regardless, some of her own allies have questioned the optics of a self-professed Marxist engaging in such extravagant commerce.

“If you go around calling yourself a socialist, you have to ask how much of her own personal money is going to charitable causes,” said Hawk Newsome, whose Black Lives Matter Greater New York City is not affiliated with BLMGNF. “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.”

I don't know about the US, but I think in Australia there's a lot of frustration amongst blue collar workers and ordinary people about the double standards in society. If a worker loses his job - tough! If an obscenely overpaid CEO loses their job, they sue the hell out of everybody, and expect an apology to boot.

I'm surprised the working poor in the US haven't been more vocal about it, and I'm not just talking about blacks.

Unrelated in one sense, I happen to think there's a lot of trouble coming. Years ago, and I mean years ago, I was looking at a world map on the wall of my bedroom. I wondered even then if there'd be massive trouble sometime. As I looked at the map (and this was probably close to 40 years ago) three areas seemed to loom out at me - the Middle East, India & Pakistan, and Korea.

That was despite nuclear MAD between the USSR and the USA in those years. Yet in 1989 the wall came down, but those three remain.

So what's new? They're still the three most likely flash-points, almost forty years later, except that now North Korea has nuclear weapons, with an economic powerhouse next door in China starting to throw her weight around. Pakistan and India have many times the number of nuclear armaments they had back then (I don't think Pakistan had any in those days). And If the Arab block is going to use it's oil wealth as a weapon (which is its only real option other than funding Islamic fundamentalism), it's slowly running out of time, as the West crawls towards a fossil fuel free future.

I think that frustration is certainly growing. When Biden was campaigning last year he was pretty rude and dismissive to blue collar workers. Almost right out of the gate he signed an executive order that destroyed something like 40,000 oil industry jobs in South Dakota by shutting down the Keystone XL pipeline. If I remember right, it even killed something like 1,000 Canadian jobs too.

They tend to have this attitude that oil workers can just go find jobs in alternative energy like solar or wind, as if their skillsets directly translate.

The problem here in the US is that there's distorted understanding of who supports who. Under FDR Democrats built a reputation as being on the side of the working man, the underdog, the little guy, and in a lot of ways that reputation has stuck through to today. Even though it's blatantly obvious that their allegiance is with the Mark Zuckerbergs, Jeff Bezos, and Jack Dorseys of the world.

The way the winds are blowing right now it seems like MAD could be on the horizon again, the current administration has taken a seemingly hostile and provocative stance against Russia. To the point that Putin challenged Biden to a debate a while back, knowing that Biden would decline because there's no way he can keep up cognitively.

From the article: “If you go around calling yourself a socialist, you have to ask how much of her own personal money is going to charitable causes,” said Hawk Newsome, whose Black Lives Matter Greater New York City is not affiliated with BLMGNF. “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.”

^ That about sums it up.

Their true colors are revealing themselves more and more, although I would argue that most normal and sane people understood what the organization has been about from the beginning. Between the stories of Patrice Cullors buying a luxury home in Topanga Canyon near Malibu (one of apparently many luxury homes she now owns, and despite being a self-proclaimed Marxist) and stories of people like Tamika Palmer (Breonna Taylor's mother) calling the BLM Louisville chapter fraudulent, we're seeing what this is all really about. And it's not race equality.

"I could walk in a room full of people who claim to be here for Breonna’s family who don’t even know who I am, I’ve watched y’all raise money on behalf of Breonna’s family who has never done a damn thing for us nor have we needed it or asked so talk about fraud,"

Breonna Taylor's mother slams BLM Louisville as 'fraud,' says 'it's amazing how many people have lost focus'

For the activist foot soldiers it's about revenge, and for the upper echelons it's about money. Like any other structure.
