BLM does damage control in response to news of their multimillion-dollar mansion purchase

This appears to be another case, separate from the one where Patrisse Cullors, one of BLM’s cofounders, purchased homes for approximately $3.2 million. Together with the news about the arrest of New York’s Lieutenant Governor, as well as news on rampant corruption in Democrat-controlled cities, one could project how the government would be ran at the federal level if the Democrats get their way all the time.

One can look at the quality of services in Democrat-controlled cities, to include police and other operational agencies, and project that to the federal level. One of the things that hampered Russian military readiness is corruption that runs deep within Moscow and Russia’s military. If the Democrats get their way with initiatives like “For the People Act”, and “Green New Deal”, we potentially could be headed in the direction that Russia and China are in right now.

From Black Lives Matter (Twitter):

There have been a lot of questions surrounding recent reports about the purchase of Creator’s House in California.

Despite past efforts, BLMGNF recognizes that there is more work to do to increase transparency and ensure transitions in leadership are clear.

We know narratives like this cause harm to organizers doing brilliant work across the country and these reports do not reflect the totality of the movement. We apologize for the distress this has caused to our supporters and those who work in service of Black liberation daily.

We also recognize the confusion recent inflammatory and speculative articles have caused.

We are redoubling our efforts to provide clarity about BLMGNF’s work. In the coming weeks, we will unveil new initiatives to increase transparency and accountability, and to continue reshaping what radical philanthropy looks like for Black people.

BLMGNF is working diligently to increase operations transparency, including an internal audit, tightening compliance operations, and creating a new board to help steer the organization to its next evolution.

Black creativity is necessary and vital to Black survival. BLM has always held that tradition sacred, partnering with artists of every kind since our founding.

That’s why Creator’s House was purchased — to provide a space for Black folks to share their gifts with the world and hone their craft as they see fit, under the conditions that work best for them and outside systems of oppression in creative industries.

Over the last several months, BLMGNF has provided $3 million dollars in direct support to families struggling to navigate the impacts of COVID.

We have granted out over $25 million dollars to Black-led frontline orgs around the world.

The organization provided investments to orgs run by families impacted by police violence.

We worked with BLM Grassroots to collect 60k signatures in support of #AndrewJoseph to end qualified immunity

and we’ve worked to build support among policymakers for federal legislation like the BREATHE Act + the People’s Response Act.

We demanded a full investigation, after the attempted coup on Jan. 6, into the ties between white supremacy and the Capitol Police, law enforcement, and the military

And this year, to celebrate Black Futures Month, we held ‘UPLIFT,’ a free concert series that our community could attend in person to celebrate and uplift Black joy & creativity.

We are embracing this moment as an opportunity for accountability, healing, truth-telling, and transparency. We understand the necessity of working intentionally to rebuild trust so we can continue forging a new path that sustains Black people for generations.
