Black Lives Matter Was Nothing More Than A Scheme To Make Founders Rich

Who is leading the Black Lives Matter movement? A Washington Examiner probe has revealed that the address it lists on tax forms is wrong, and the charity's two board members won't say who manages its $60 million bankrolls.

BLM's shocking lack of clarity regarding its finances and operations raises major legal and ethical questions.

"Like a giant ghost ship full of treasure drifting in the night with no captain, no discernible crew, and no clear direction," CharityWatch Executive Director Laurie Styron said of BLM.

BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors appointed two activists to serve as the group's senior directors following her leaving in May amid scrutiny over her private finances. But both quietly announced in September that they never took the tasks due to conflicts with BLM. They told the Washington Examiner they don't know who now heads the nation's most influential social justice organization.

Paul Kamenar, counsel for Conservative watchdog group the National Legal and Policy Center, said a full audit and investigation into Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, the legal body representing the national BLM movement, is warranted.

"This is grossly irregular and improper for a nonprofit with $60 million in its coffers," Kamenar said.

Local black activists rebuked BLM after the New York Post reported in April that Cullors, then BLM's executive director, had spent $3.2 million on real estate across the United States. The reports followed BLM's disclosure in February 2021 that it closed out 2020 with $60 million in its bank accounts.

BLM dismissed allegations that Cullors spent BLM funds on her personal properties. Nevertheless, BLM and other activist organizations under Cullors's control offered contracts to an art company led by the father of her only child, the Daily Caller reported.

Cullors announced in May she was leaving and that activists Makani Themba and Monifa Bandele would lead the organization as senior executives. But Themba and Bandele revealed in September that they never actually took the job because of disagreements with BLM's "acting Leadership Council."

After their departure, both Themba and Bandele told the Washington Examiner they do not know who took over as BLM's top executive. And neither would say who served on the council.

"We never actually started in the position, so we never received any detailed information," Themba said.

While a charity's finances are ultimately the responsibility of its board of directors, BLM's bylaws explicitly state that its executive director "shall have charge of all funds and securities of the Corporation."

The two remaining BLM board members, Shalom Yah Bowers and Raymond Howard did not return numerous requests for comment asking who has been in charge of BLM and its money since Cullors left the charity in May.
