BLM founder Patrisse Cullors paid her baby father $970,000 for ‘creative services

I think I'm going to open a BLM GoFundMe page.

Then get that new center console boat I want. Lets put a website together and post lefty talking points about the black community.
I guess thats all it takes.

 

Then we will buy us a 3 million dollar house and use one of our 18 rooms to make posters in and we will be gravy.

I got a heroin addict in the fam that could really use a mil

 

For a 6 million dollar deposit tax free in our bank accounts, I am sure we can copy and paste some CNN talking points on black vs white in the US.
Post a few videos and some pics declaring how we hate the white race and boom, you're in the money.
Sounds easy enough.

 

Well, I'm not a believer in karma. I regard that as a superstition. However you are still assuming that BLM actually did something illegal by using donations to enrich themselves, and I don't think that's the case. I think the law is set up to allow people to set up these organizations in order to enrich themselves.

That's why I have to vet my donations carefully.

 

You may be correct, and it might depend on state and federal regulations, but I think someone who donated could have cause for a civil case, one that doesn't go by laws.
It's disappointing that people are able to do what you said, enrich themselves protected by holes in the law.
One reason I think the civil court avenue may be fruitful is some of the past lawsuits in the last few years.
And what I mean about Karma is that I think, in general, what comes around goes around, but not automatically, or necessarily every time.
Sometimes bad people get away with stuff. I just think that eventually, most of the time, the chickens come home to roost.

 

I think the difference between this and say, a charity like Red Cross, is that people have an expectation of why they are donating and how they want their money to be spent, even though they don't have a real say to it. But when you donate to BLM, what are you donating for? Specific charitable acts? No, you are buying virtue signaling. The fact that you donate is your receipt that you are a good person. It's secular indulgences. So if you donated to BLM, the fact that you donated is exactly what you wanted out of the organization.

So everyone gets what they want. You get to brag that you donated to BLM, and BLM gets to live a lifestyle beyond the dreams of avarice. It's a win/win.

 

OK so this means you still support BLM, just not the current people who run it?

Well by all means, please donate to BLM.

 

Yes, it's kind of sad, but in the end, you are correct, they willingly paid the money, and did get to wear the "badge of honor" that they helped out.
And it no one donated another dime, they got millions, and can go on a luxury trip of spending on themselves.
I just hope they screw up, blow all the money, and are destitute in a couple of years. It happens to athletes and lottery winners all the time.
Hopefully Karma will rear it's head.

 

Is financial donation the only indication of support?

 

I would like to know what black activities, investments, or black community provisions has BLM ever made that would convince you to donate to them?

 

Again, does 'support' automatically mean financial donation?

 

Thats what I wanted to know

 

No, but it's the one that give you the receipt.

 

They have a big tax problem due to filings and where did the money legally go. California and other states have already banned them from taking donations in their states until they pay the back taxes owed or basically refile showing where the cash went. We're talking 50 million here, the took in 91m and only have 42m in assets including cash.

 

Oh I'm sure they have big tax problems, but my point was that the people and corporations who donated were not being ripped off; they got exactly what they were paying for.

 

And why are you surprised at this. Look at how Kenneth Copeland or Joel Olstein got their homes, through their nonprofit organiations. If you are going to condemn BLM, then you will also condemn some of the leaders of 501c3 organizations that conservatives love like Kenneth Copeland, Benny Hinn, Joel Olsten, and others.

So, Joel Olsten receives no salary, pays no taxes, not even on his royalties from his books, calendars, audio pastoral messages, etc, and now lives in a $10.5 million dollar home/mansion. Sound familair? It is because that is exactly whant the cofounder of BLM is actually doing. Yet, you are upset with her than with Joel Olsten.

And this from the Senate Finance Committee, which looked at the possible misuse of funds by such organizations. Ths summary is here.

 

No deciding about it for a few reasons. First, you only posted this article because of your disdain for BLM. Second, because of your disdain for BLM, you are wanting, hoping, and suggesting that something nefarious is going on, especially with the snark comments that you and others have made. Third, I am showing that it is possible that they could have done something against the rules. And if that is true, the IRS does not have t the resources or political clout to go after BLM no matter who is president. Why? The GOP has reduced the IRS budget so badly for in-person audits and constrained staff that the IRS cannot perform its job adequately given the GOP politics of nullifying the IRS mission, among other things.

 

For 501c organizations, yes it does other than any state or federal grant they may obtain, depending on the mission statement. Then of course, they were eligible for the PPP loan. But overal, donation, cash or property, is provided to the organizations as support. The question is, whether the support they receive is restricted or unrestricted.

 

But the fact that its also true that BLM has spent the donations on mansions and family without helping the black community has nothing to do with me liking or disliking BLM. They are a fraud and have been caught.

Using donated money to a 501-C to enrich yourself is fine with the lefty crowd. Everyone else calls it what it is. Fraud

Who is in control of the budget in the house? Or did that part escape you?
Biden said he was doubling the size of the IRS, by hiring 87,000 people a year ago.
Where have you been? Oh, thats right, making up fake claims because you couldn't dispute the factual information.

 

Barking up the wrong tree with that one. I agree on the big money preachers. They are comparable to the money changers at the temple who were making money off of God when Jesus overturned their tables braided a whip of cords and whipped them out of the temple.

I consider them far more deviant than Cullors. Their only redeeming quality is that through their greed they may reach someone with a word of Jesus and plant a seed which turns their life around due to their immense need for greed. A fortunate byproduct that Cullors doesn’t produce.

 

I appreciate that - but I was referring to my support. I support BLM - I believe in their message. But I don't have to contribute financially in order for that to be true.

 

Of course, everyone has the right to defend themselves:

 

Does she drive a Bentley? I bet she drives a Bentley with 8,000 $10,000 wheels and a stereo system to match.

In addition to all her other luxury vehicles no doubt.

 

So her luxury homes count as overhead and operational expenses? Is anyone actually buying that excuse?

 

Memo to next BLM, keep good accounting of shakedown money.
Maybe Al Sharpton is next.

“Baby father?” Do tell.
