None of the women acknowledged the house behind them. It’s far from a box, with more than 6,500 square feet, more than half a dozen bedrooms and bathrooms, several fireplaces, a soundstage, a pool and bungalow, and parking for more than 20 cars, according to real-estate listings. The California property was purchased for nearly $6 million in cash in October 2020 with money that had been donated to BLMGNF.
The transaction has not been previously reported, and Black Lives Matter’s leadership had hoped to keep the house’s existence a secret. Documents, emails, and other communications I’ve seen about the luxury property’s purchase and day-to-day operation suggest that it has been handled in ways that blur, or cross, boundaries between the charity and private companies owned by some of its leaders. It creates the impression that money donated to the cause of racial justice has been spent in ways that benefit the leaders of Black Lives Matter personally.
"This is bigger than me. It's about a long history of attacking black people and black women specifically, creating unsafe conditions for us and our families, scrutinizing our every move publicly and privately in ways that are unfair and unjust," she said. "It's dangerous, and we should all be trying to stop it, interrupt it, protest it."
These people must have been getting money-laundering lessons from the Clintons.Black Lives Matter Secretly Bought a $6 Million House
Marxists. Scam. Self-Dealing. Predictable.
Here's the response from the scammer:

Very Smollet-like attitude of angry privilege.

Because of that scam perpetrated by that Chicago "actor" and because of the house scam perpetrated by that "movement," most Americans, hopefully, just look at one another and shake their head and say nothing whenever stories like this are brought up in conversation.
I do not know whether they "hate" Caucasian Americans.So typical from demographics who hate white America.
Being told that a black person's life matters as much as yours is an act of "angry privilege"? How hard was the struggle to not post the word "uppity"?
But then, Trumpism showed its ass from the outset. I doubt anyone will be surprised.
A supportive whattaboutism that fails on every level? I guess what's what happens when you are required to get something pro-Trump/anti-left in the first few posting slots of every single politics thread.
The IRS would have a field day going through BLMs' finances....that is if they had the guts to do it. They'd be afraid of being called racist. That and BLM isn't a Conservative group, so that's another reason why it won't be done.Black Lives Matter Secretly Bought a $6 Million House

The IRS must enact reforms to stop the rampant corruption in the charitable sector happening under its watch, Texas Rep. Lance Gooden urged commissioner Charles Rettig in a letter Tuesday.
The national Black Lives Matter group's refusal to answer basic questions about its finances while dropping millions on luxurious mansions, charitable organizations intentionally downplaying the risks of opioid addiction, and anti-fossil fuel nonprofit groups raking in foreign cash while working to undermine national security are among the bad actors in the charitable space Gooden highlighted in his letter.
Haha, you don't know either.^^ This is what "playing dumb" looks like.
I didn't say "White" groups. I said "Conservative" groups. And the IRS did do so during the Obama years when Obama decided to use it as a political weapon.Yes the IRS only goes after white charities.

What was illegal about what she did?Black Lives Matter Secretly Bought a $6 Million House

If nothing illegal happened, why the complaint?Is that what I wrote?
Still excusing and supporting this kind of crap, at least one can't argue that you're not consistent.Being told that a black person's life matters as much as yours is an act of "angry privilege"? How hard was the struggle to not post the word "uppity"?

People who are at the head of powerful organizations tend to get well paid.
By misuse, do you mean something illegal happened? If not, then why do you consider them misused?I have no doubt that you approve of the misuse of charitable funds, the shell company used to buy it, and attempts to keep it out of public view. It says everything anyone needs to know about you.

This looks like potential fraud if true, if that's the case, then there should be an investigation, if its not, then "meh".Possibly for the same reasons BLM leadership decided to use a shell company for the purchase, and prompted these internal communications:
"Afterward, leaders circulated an internal strategy memo with possible responses, ranging from “Can we kill the story?” to “Our angle — needs to be to deflate ownership of the property.” The memo includes bullet points explaining that “Campus is part of cultural arm of the org — potentially as an ‘influencer house,’ where abolition+ based content is produced by artists & creatives.” Another bullet is headed “Accounting/990 modifications” and reads in part: “need to first make sure it’s legally okay to use as we plan to use it.” The memo also describes the property as a “safehouse” for leaders whose safety has been threatened. The two notions — that the house is simultaneously a confidential refuge and a place for broadcasting to the widest possible audience — are somewhat in tension. The memo notes: “Holes in security story: Use in public YT videos.”
It's likely this is the reasoning behind extending their fiscal reporting until May, and why a surge of DNC toadies has injected themselves into the organization to clean up the mess.
But you keep pretending this isn't a poor use of the monies entrusted to these people to forward their cause. Like I said, it says everything that anyone needs to know about your integrity and ethics.
