Cullors celebrates being named “2016 Woman of the Year” at the Brooklyn Museum in New York on Nov. 13, 2017.
“Patrisse Khan-Cullors, co-founder of Black Lives Matter (BLM), recently purchased a $1.4 million home in an upscale Los Angeles neighborhood where the majority of residents are white.
Carlos’ spacious, light-filled new home has canyon views and a peaceful setting. The location is in Topanga Canyon near Malibu, S.C. Not many blacks live in this upscale residential area. About 88.2% of the residents are white and only 1.4% are black.
Celebrity real estate blog Dirt.com reported on April 7 on the deal, a 2,400-square-foot three-bedroom, two-bathroom main house and a separate one-bedroom/one-bathroom apartment with long-term guest accommodations, private entrance and living room with kitchenette.
The property’s interior spaces feature bamboo flooring in the spacious open living room, dining area and kitchen with vaulted ceilings covered in pine and sliding doors in the hall leading to the wooded backyard, which is located approximately 15 minutes from Malibu Beach.
After the property was put up for sale, Red Voice Media reported that who knew starting a BLM organization would be so lucrative, but this should not be a place where a Marxist, Black Lives Matter founder would want to live, because it is where they call “racist,” “racist,” “white privileged” people live. “white privilege”.
According to the report, Internet searches show that there have been no riots in this area in the past year. Maybe that’s why she chose this neighborhood?
Carlos, 37, has been a leading voice against “systemic racism” and can be found all over the Internet advocating for the “elimination of funding for the police.
In a previous media interview, she said, “We actually have an ideological framework, we’re trained Marxists.”
After news spread that Carlos had bought a house in a white neighborhood, many Chinese took to Twitter to slam Carlos: “Marxism is work, capitalism is life, and Simanan is not alone. (Editor’s note: Simanan claims ‘anti-Americanism is work, going to America is life’)” “So-called Marxism is all business, no one in China or foreign countries.” “Of course it is sticky good neighbors away from poor relatives!” “She separates work and life clearly! Same as the Chinese Communist officials.” “She should just apply the new ‘Biden New Tax System’, tax her properly, and investigate her sources of funding.”
Carlos’ “BLM Global Network”
The Associated Press reported last month that The Black Lives Matter Global Network (BLMGN) received more than $90 million in donations last year. They shared a snapshot of their finances with the AP late last year after being accused by local BLM chapters of embezzlement.
But the foundation did not say who donated the money in 2020 and declined to disclose major donors.BLM Global Network, founded in Delaware in 2016, is not recognized by the IRS IRS as a nonprofit and is not required to provide tax returns in a public manner. Because the organization’s finances are not transparent, it is unclear if or how the BLM organization pays Carlos’ salary.
According to Wikipedia, on October 9, 2020, the BLM announced its new organizational structure to the public: the BLM Political Action Committee (BLM PAC) will drive change politically, BLM Grassroots will continue to implement action in its various branches, and the BLM Global Network (BLMGN) will serve as “the BLM movement’s fundraising arm, grant-making entity, megaphone and think tank for action.
In November 2020, Carlos, the sole board member of the BLM Global Network, was appointed as Executive Director.
The BLM Global Network filters donations through an organization called Thousand Currents, which makes tracking cash more complicated. Specifically, donations from the public on the BLM website go to the Democratic-affiliated left-wing platform ActBlue, which then transfers them to Thousand Currents, which then distributes them back to the BLM.
BLM’s relationship with Thousand Streams dates back to at least June 2016, when the W.K. Kellogg Foundation awarded Thousand Streams a $900,000 grant for “build the interconnected working model and capacity of the BLM movement across the United States to support and strengthen the organizational capacity of its local chapters.”
Then, after Thousand Streams imposed a time-limited sunset clause on its fiscal sponsorship, BLM began actively fundraising on its own through the Support BLM Foundation. Last year, the BLM raised more than $33 million in less than a month since the May 25 arrest and death of Black Floyd.
