The co-founder of the Black Lives Matter movement Patrisse Cullors has resigned after making millions of dollars. Her resignation comes amid controversy over the group’s finances and Cullors’ personal wealth — including a real-estate buying spree in which she snagged four high-end homes for $3.2 million in the US.
The embattled co-founder of Black Lives Matter announced on Thursday that she’s resigning as executive director amid criticism over her lavish lifestyle.
Patrisse Cullors, 37 — who has been at the helm of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation for nearly six years — said she is leaving to focus on a book and TV deal.
“I’ve created the infrastructure and the support, and the necessary bones and foundation, so that I can leave,” Cullors said. “It feels like the time is right.”
But her resignation comes amid controversy over the group’s finances and Cullors’ personal wealth — including a real-estate buying spree in which she snagged four high-end homes for $3.2 million in the US, according to property records reported last month.
The BLM foundation revealed in February that it took in just over $90 million last year, following the May 2020 murder of George Floyd.
Critics of the foundation contend more of that money should have gone to the families of Black victims of police brutality who have been unable to access the resources needed to deal with their trauma and loss.
“That is the most tragic aspect,” said the Rev. T. Sheri Dickerson, president of an Oklahoma City BLM chapter and a representative of the #BLM10, a national group of organizers that has publicly criticized the foundation over funding and transparency.
“I know some of (the families) are feeling exploited, their pain exploited, and that’s not something that I ever want to be affiliated with,” Dickerson said.
Meanwhile, in an investigation it has been found that 99.64% of the Black Lives Matter’s ‘Defund the Police’ donations went to Joe Biden via ActBlue, a Democrat fundraising platform that was the top donor to Biden for President campaign.
As reported by GreatGameIndia last year, the BLM group has atleast one terrorist on its board of directors.
Thousand Currents – the group funding the core operations of BLM – is known to have a terrorist Susan Rosenberg as a Vice Chair on its board.
Rosenberg was a member of the May 19th Communist Organization (M19). William Rosenau in his book Tonight We Bombed the U.S. Capitol, describes M19 as “the nation’s only woman-run terror group.”
Meanwhile, GreatGameIndia investigation has uncovered another extremist movement considered as the unofficial terrorist arm of the BLM with ties to ISIS and British intelligence.
Antifa, spawned by the British intelligence has long been regarded by American intelligence as a terrorist organization to be disrupted before they get a foothold on American soil.
They say $90m in donations…. they got $150 million from Soros alone. I hear their real number is closer to $1 billion. But I think most of that went to the Biden campaign.

The LOVE of Money is the ROOT (source) of ALL Evil. Enjoy your life of wealth lady because you have received your reward. It is heartbreaking to see so many lost souls who live for the cares/things of this temporary world.
This woman is misunderstood. Why don’t people see her black life matters the most?
BLM was funded by corporations [ the essential ones during covid lockdowns] and superficially branded as communist but if we look carefully at the mechanisms that greases this wheel …its all capitalists for profits.
Funders of BLM:
“Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors said in a newly surfaced video from 2015 that she and her fellow organizers are “trained Marxists” – making clear their movement’s ideological foundation, according to a report.”
“she became a trained organizer with the Labor/Community Strategy Center, which she called her “first political home” under the mentorship of Mann [ ,Eric Mann, former agitator of the Weather Underground domestic terror organization,] its director.”

Iconic American brands, from Facebook to Apple, have pledged financial support for the #BlackLivesMatter movement in response to the death of George Floyd — but many companies have yet to clarify where the money will go and how much they will donate.
The home-sharing site tweeted on June 1 that it will be giving a total of $500,000 to the NAACP and Black Lives Matter.
Amazon
The retail and technology giant announced on June 3 that it plans to donate a total of $10 million to 11 organizations, including the ACLU, Equal Justice Initiative, and the NAACP.

Glossier
The beauty brand released a statement on Instagram saying the company planned to donate $500,000 to “organizations focused on combating racial injustice.”
The statement specifically cited Black Lives Matter, The NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, The Equal Justice Initiative, The Marsha P. Johnson Institute, and We The Protesters.

All just a political movement to get lap dog China commie Joe Biden installed.
Good job corporate America….
Patrisse thanks you for her material marxists homes…lol….idiots all of them!🤯
A apologies for the repeat of same material….finger error…heavy sigh🤯
BLM is a militant racist movement created by pro-Palestinian muslims who hide behind the scenes. It has nothing to do about “fighting racism” of which numbers show is so miniscule reality is that blacks committ the most overwhelming racial crimes against people of all groups including their own. 950% overrepresented in racist hate crimes.
Muslims are trying to divide the country to unrecognized levels, and they are behind not only BLM but mass conversion of American blacks to Islam by lying about Islam’s brutal history in Africa where these fools don’t even know that America didn’t create slavery in the modern age, Islam did. African kings, after converting to Islam, began kidnapping and enslaving 180 million of their own people. Out of that 180 mil how many were white Americans responsible for buying on markets ran by African rulers? 300,000. And who was the FIRST buyers and owner of a black slave in America? A black man and a native American….
The way the narrative goes you’d think the entire American continent was covered in enslaved blacks. Reality is that less than 1% owned slaves and mainly in the South. You have far lore slaves today in Africa and Middle East than in the entire history of Europe and America put together.
But today the narrative is made to deflect from the true slave trader and constantly point the finger at the small fries.
BLM = Buy Large Mansions …..
As in Animal Farm ..
All animals are equal, but Pigs are more equal ..
My apologies to pigs by assimilating them with the above ..
