The father of Michael Brown and other activists from Ferguson, Missouri, are demanding financial support from Black Lives Matter after the organization revealed it raised over $90 million last year.
Michael Brown Sr., whose son was fatally shot by a white police officer in August 2014, along with the other activists who helped propel the movement, want $20 million from the group to help their community.
“Where is all that money going?” Brown Sr. asked in a Tuesday press release from the International Black Freedom Alliance.
Is it far-fetched to think then BLM might have some off-shore accounts like the SPLC or spending that money elsewhere like that BLM leader did last September?
I'm not certain as to whether Michael Brown Sr. has any legal claim, but he asks a germane question.
Where's all that money going?
How many grants and scholarships for black high school graduates who need financial aid has BLM set up?
How many mentor/big brother/big sister programs has BLM created?
How many educational/informational/guidance programs (to tell teenagers unprotected sex can lead to pregnancies and result in STDs; to warn teenagers of the dangers of gang activity; to instruct teenagers that learning a trade can land them a lifelong career; to help teenagers learn basic life management skills such as time management and budgeting) has BLM created?
How many of the black-owned businesses which were ransacked by Antifa and thousands of low-class/underclass criminals has BLM offered to rebuild?
Until there are substantial answers to these questions, I will not change my conclusion that Black Lives Matter the organization is nothing more than a hypocritical racket and I will oppose it at all times.
Oh, and remember: 88% to 90% of black persons murdered in the U.S. every year in one-perpetrator/one-victim murders die because ANOTHER black person decided to kill. Unless and until BLM does a single thing to address this problem, it will remain clear as day that black lives do not matter to Black Lives Matter.

LOL - let these money grabbing losers fight it out

I’ve got to laugh at all the ignorant leftists fools who supported/donated to this BLM outfit. What a time to be alive!
I've said it before, but I'll say it again. Right here in my middle class neighborhood (and racially mixed, I'll add).... there are BLM signs dotting the landscape. Even after the summer of love riots and all of the violence that these people were responsible for -- the signs are still up.

It's the same near me, only it's upper-middle-class neighborhoods where houses range from $500m at the cheapest to well over $1m, and where there are barely any people who aren't white, Jewish, or Asian.
These people who virtue-signal from their ultra-safe neighborhoods from their extremely expensive houses have likely never had to deal with the underclass individuals which stress out police officers in certain parts of America. They idealize people as oppressed victims when the reality is far more complex and nuanced, and they are doubly hypocritical for the fact they would never allow their daughters and sons to date or to closely befriend people like Michael Brown or Trayvon Martin or George Floyd.

Really? Your neighbors still think black lives matter? They still think that blacks should be treated fairly by the police? How crazy of them!
