BLM Co-Founder Stepping Down, Received Multi-Year TV Development Deal With Warner Brothers
Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors announced Thursday she is stepping down as executive director of her movement’s foundation. Guess Black Lives don’t matter enough for her to keep fighting for them. That, or she has bought herself all the mansions she needs.
USA Today writes Cullors “decried what she called a smear campaign from a far-right group, but said neither that nor recent criticism from other Black organizers influenced her departure.” Rather, Cullors states she is leaving to focus on other projects.
“I’ve created the infrastructure and the support, and the necessary bones and foundation, so that I can leave” Cullors told The Associated Press. “It feels like the time is right” she added. Perhaps the time is right because she has an upcoming release of her second book as well as a multi-year TV development deal with Warner Brothers.
Though she claims to leave due to successful “infrastructure” and “support” the resignation also comes on the heels of controversy over the foundation’s finances and over Cullors’ personal wealth.
The Associated Press revealed in February that the Black Lives Matter foundation took in just over $90 million last year after the murder of George Floyd in May. The foundation said it ended 2020 with a balance of over $60 million, after spending nearly a quarter of its assets on operating expenses, grants to Black-led organizations and other charitable giving.
Many people have lamented that the BLM movement received so much money when the families of Black victims have not. “That is the most tragic aspect” said Reverend T. Sheri Dickerson, president of an Oklahoma City BLM chapter and a representative of the #BLM10, a national group of organizers that has publicly criticized the foundation over funding and transparency.
“I know some of (the families) are feeling exploited, their pain exploited, and that’s not something that I ever want to be affiliated with” said Dickerson.

Biggest scam in history for white guilt!!!
Pay money to a group founded by self proclaimed radical Marxists terrorists, who have now been converted to be MEGA capitalist. Ford foundation initially gave them a Hundred million and the other many many millions came from the fools to cover white guilt with some cash.

She took the money and now she runs. Shame on her. The Black Community should go to her mansion and ring the door bell.

WHICH mansion?? She’s got 4, from what I hear! Nothing but another obnoxious race hustler. With the money #BLM collected–or extorted–they could have done some real good. But their agenda was never about making black lives better, or anybody else’s–just THEIR lives.
Hmmmm, how long til she buys Mansion Number 5?

Warner Bros now on my list of ‘Do Not Patronize this Business’.
BLM was funded by Soros as part of his continuing efforts to destroy America. Last year, BLM received $93 mill in donations. Not one penny went to families or even to black businesses destroyed by rioters. Cullors is a scam artist, a race-baiter, and a crook.
26 MILLION ‘mostly peaceful’ BLM marchers, protesters, looters, rioters, assaulted, bullies, arsonists, and murderers is a massive opposing force. Be prepared.

You can only poison so many minds thru the news but imagine how many can be perverted with a hit movie misrepresenting history or using fictional settings that show your vision works in La, La land! The damage a great movie director can do will amaze and astound you!
These guys never worry about historical accuracy. An old movie “red river valley” once depicted cattle barons hiring gunmen to drive out Russian immigrants from an area and while in the movie in the rescue scene the immigrants had one man escape to bring in the cavalry to save them from annihilation historically the opposite is true!
You see many of them had mustered out of the Russian Army when wars in their country were over, they knew how to fight! When they discovered the attack was on they armed themselves and trapped the hired guns with the cattle barons at a ranch and were picking them off until one of their people brought in the cavalry to escort them out! They never came back and everyone kept their land.
Hollywood can work this magic against our Nation too!
