For someone that claims to be Marxist, she sure is acting like a capitalist. Also, wonder if she's donated any of those homes to BLM?

Shaun King is also a grifter

But BLM is a decentralized movement so it doesn't really matter

My point is, she claims to be Marxist, but is apparently acting anything but, and is committing embezzlement, using BLM funds for her own personal use. There are no records of where the donations are going, as the finances are split between profit and non-profit, and difficult to trace. Nor is it clear how much her income is as a founder of the movement.

this would be a story if she was organizing protests in areas and then buying up homes there because the property value went down. all this story points out is that she's rich and does what other rich people do.

To be fair, it's one thing to participate in a society, it's another thing to outright thrive vs donating the lions share of your earnings to socialist causes to push forward the movement.

I don't agree, she can wish the country had a different government but it's obvious it never will, so she may as well thrive in the I just unchanging system

Her couple million towards a fringe political movement would be nothing

It's pretty remarkable the amount of people ITT denying any wrongdoing here.

Positive social movements can attract grifters and we should try to get rid of them to help progress social movements. It is that simple. This isn't at all saying BLM isn't a solid organization/movement. It's very important that BLM continues its fight. We just need to be wary of people using a cause for personal gain.

I think its fair to say that this official BLM organization should be more transparent with where donations go, however the ability to have that conversation has been ruined by dishonest conservatives trying to paint a movement for racial justice as a scam.

@shockthemonkey

Certain conservatives aside...

Shouldn't we want to get rid of the scammers and expose them so BLM can have better leadership than work to attain its goals?

Shouldn't every single social movement ever be wary of individuals attempting to co opt a movement for personal gain?

I mean, minus the riots and murders, I'd still say it's pretty bad.

It sucks so many good people listen to this drivel and get sucked into this awful stuff, then the actual good that gets done by the people who actually want to make a difference gets entirely drowned out amidst the riots and the like.

While the concept of the movement isn't invalid, it's shit like this that allows it's downright criminal upper echelon to basically take your donation money and run with it.

This is far from the first article I have read where it showed the money donated to black lives matter...didn't really go back to black lives that needed the money, and instead went to political campaigns or in this case, clearly the founders pockets...

This shit is indefensible. And garbage posts like, "well the movement is ok, so I guess it being run by literal criminals is ok too, hurr durr" doesn't really help anything and makes it much worse tbh.

I dont think it really reflects on BLM movement as a whole. However, if you yourself are openly espousing the virtues on Marxist principles, but you're thriving in a capitalist system and buying up expensive private property like the bourgeoisie, you're probably just a grifter.

whats so funny about that? why can't someone who has also support those who don't and want a full scale change to help them? its like when people attacked Bernie for having 2 houses as if it ws some kind of gotcha...his plan was to literally raise taxes on rich people, so if he was one of those rich people he was planning to raise taxes on himself and he was fine with it...how is that a "gotcha"? it just reinforces who he is as a person if anything.
