Black Lives Matter Infighting Grows, Members Demand ‘Accountability’ From Co-founder
Epoch Times ^ | 06/13/2021 | Jack Phillips

Infighting among different Black Lives Matter groups appears to be increasing after a coalition of Black Lives Matter chapters demanded transparency from the group’s global network amid reports that co-founder Patrisse Cullors spent millions of dollars on homes and real estate.

Cullors, a self-described “trained Marxist,” stepped down from the group last month, but denied allegations that she misused any donations and said those claims—along with reports about her real estate holdings—were part of a right-wing misinformation campaign meant to discredit her and Black Lives Matter.

But a group calling itself BLM 10 Plus, the name of the 10 original Black Lives Matter signatories, said that it wants answers from the BLM Global Network, Cullors, and others about how donations were spent, alleging the leftist organization’s leadership hasn’t been transparent with the other groups.

“The number of chapters that have aligned in support of our statement has nearly doubled. Some of these chapters have made their own statements echoing not only our call to accountability, but also our experiences as we sought transparency, democracy, and internal transformation for years,” BLM 10 Plus said in a statement dated June 11.

Claiming that some “grassroots” activist groups “have been co-opted across the world,” BLM 10 Plus’s statement said it’s demanding “transparency and most importantly, for principled accountability, in movement infrastructures.”

Cullors’s and other Black Lives Matter Global Network senior staff members’ salaries “have never been reported” to the individual chapters, BLM 10 Plus stated. They have also alleged that Cullors “installed herself as the executive director” of the foundation, which “immediately fractured the network” and led to the creation of BLM 10 Plus.

Among those who have signed onto BLM 10 Plus’s statement is Michael Brown Sr., the father of 18-year-old Michael Brown, a black man who was killed during an officer-involved encounter in Ferguson

A couple hundred homeless people climbing over the wall onto her property might help create equality.

Just climb over her newly installed wall. Surely no one would be shot.

That’s probably closer to the truth. I have a feeling, there are more million dollar mansions out there, that are owned by BLM scum.

Do you want to know why this is happening?

Because right now the puppet masters and covert financiers have told them…..No Mas, while CornPop, et al are controlling things in DC. Can’t have the distractions.

Also, there’s no common enemy…..The Police….in what THEY consider a questionable shooting. One of the reasons being, the police aren”t working like they used to.

It’s no different than the Muslims. No common enemy and they’ll kill each other all day, every day. Let the US show up and there’s unity until the boogeyman is gone.

BLM was designed in large part to harm blacks. One day they may figure it out.
