The foundation also paid her brother $840K for security services

A consulting firm run by BLM board member Shalomyah Bowers was paid $2.1M for providing the organization with operational support

Bowers said the last BLM board approved the contract with his firm when he was not a board member

The filing also revealed that Cullors reimbursed BLM $73K for a charter flight and paid the foundation $390 for private use of its $6M Los Angeles mansion

Cullors resigned from BLM last year amid a wave of scrutiny surrounding the charity's finances

The most surprising bit of news there is that Shalomyah is a male name.

LOL I bet she got a few people who post here to give her money. Useful idiots.

Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors said the organization is awash with "White guilt money."

Cullors made the comment in an MSNBC podcast posted Monday afternoon in response to a question from host Trymaine Lee, who had asked if the organization's "tsunami of flooding" was shocking and if they had guardrails in place to ensure its cash was "being directed in the proper ways."

"Yes, it was a major shock," Cullors said on the "Into America" podcast. "It was also a lot of like, 'Oh, wait, I did not see that coming.' You know, contrary to what, you know, has been reported, much of the funding that came in was from individual donors."

"That was a lot of White guilt money," Cullors continued. "There's a lot of White folks being like, 'We just got to put the money."'

The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, its primary nonprofit, collected $90 million throughout 2020, a financial snapshot released by the group in early 2021 showed.

Cullors stepped away from the BLM Global Network Foundation in May 2021 amid scrutiny over her $3.2 million real-estate buying binge,

which included the BLM leader scooping up four homes. Cullors also allegedly eyed property in the Bahamas at a posh resort where Justin Timberlake and Tiger Woods own homes.

Well, if people are stupid enough to give them all that money...

She stole all that money from rank dumbasses and still can't get that mole on her forehead taken off? Austin Powers would have a ****-fit.

P.T. Barnum would have loved these “donors.”

It’s not baby father, it’s Baby Daddy. You can tell whoever wrote that headline has never been to the hood before.

And you sir have never watched the MSM -- I believe he is now supposed to be referred to as the "Egg Fertilizer of the birthing person".

BLM Founder Tries to Explain Financial Mistakes Made With ‘White Guilt Money’

Quote:Co-Founder Patrisse Cullors resigned from the group in 2021 as the controversies picked up steam, but addressed the controversies Monday in an MSNBC podcast. Regarding the tsunami of donations the group received after the death of George Floyd, Cullors said:

Yes, it was a major shock. It was also a lot of like, ‘Oh, wait, I did not see that coming.’ You know, contrary to what, you know, has been reported, much of the funding that came in was from individual donors. That was a lot of White guilt money. There’s a lot of White folks being like, ‘We just got to put the money.’

She further explained that the group had no infrastructure to handle the massive influx, and now the mistakes are being “weaponized” against her.

The Associated Press though points out that there are real issues:

The tax filing suggests the organization is still finding its footing: It currently has no executive director or in-house staff. Nonprofit experts tell the AP that the BLM foundation seems to be operating like a scrappy organization with far fewer resources, although some say Black-led charities face unfair scrutiny in an overwhelmingly white and wealthy philanthropic landscape.

Where there is smoke, there’s usually fire. While the foundation may have been set up with good intentions, the constant revelations of questionable financing decisions must be making at least some donors wonder—where exactly did my money go?
