Your donations at work

The leaders of Black Lives Matter (BLM) allegedly used $6 million in donations to buy a luxury California mansion, as they face questions about how the anti-racism group manages its finances.

The 6,500 sq ft home has more than half a dozen bedrooms and bathrooms, multiple fireplaces, a soundstage, a pool and parking for more than 20 cars.

BLM officials tried to keep its existence a secret, a report has claimed.

When pressed on the purpose of the opulent house – known as “the campus” – an internal note was circulated exploring ways to “kill the story”, the New York Magazine reported.

The memo, obtained by the magazine, included bullet points explaining that the property could be described as part of the cultural arm of the organisation.

Yeah, cultural centre, that’s what it is, cultural centre.

Note that this is on top of the place in Quebec, the houses bought by the lead organiser and so on. This is extra to what we’ve already heard about.

  1. Channelling my inner “homes under the hammer” I reckon this $6m property might be expected to bring in $15,000 a month – using a conservative 3% yield for residential property.

    An article here yesterday described another California property costing twice that figure bring used to house Hunter Biden’s minders.

    Luckily we’re a bit more careful spending taxpayer money over here. Oh wait…….

    but that’s different John, it’s not “charity money”. being spent questionably. OK then………

  2. Looks like my link to Batmanghelidjh’s £5,000 a month pad paid for by “Kids Company” didn’t work. Never mind, everyone remembers that particular story.

  3. Incidentally for anyone who missed the barely reported court ruling last year Camila and her cohorts were formally exonerated of “mismanagement, dishonesty, bad faith, personal gain and inappropriate expenditure on children supported by the charity” which suggests that, given the state of our legal system, she could have gone full BLM and still escaped any blame.

  4. There was me thinking BLM meant “Burn, Loot and Murder”, whereas it actually turns out it means “Buy Large Mansions”.

    How very capitalist of them.

  5. Fair play to them. A load of rich corporations with woke brands and a load of white people handed over money without asking where it was going. I don’t even see any fraud here, and even if there was, well, they deserved it for being so stupid. Robbing rich people is just evolution. Lucky to get together with it in the first place.

    “In an emailed statement to the New York Magazine on April 1, Shalomyah Bowers, a BLM Global Network Foundation board member, said that the organisation bought “the campus” property “with the intention for it to serve as housing and studio space for recipients of the Black Joy Creators Fellowship”. ”

    Love it. The classic charity grift. You can’t just siphon money out, but you can expense your life by claiming that things are necessary, and of course, you’ll need someone to look after them, like your kids.

  6. BLM was set up from the get go as a hustle. The founders got lucky when George Floyd got unlucky. Some naive (mostly white) folk started to give them money, some socialists (both white and black) gave them political top cover and some rioters (mostly white) did the rest. It was never about reparations or emancipation.
    See “Get Rich or Lie Trying” available on Amazon.

  7. They look like little girls at a tea party in those pictures.

    As with everything else they do, BLM is playing make-believe with other people’s money. Communism.
