I sure hope this isn't for real. I came from nothing and worked my way up...I will only give my stuff to whoever the heck I want to. More than that I will give it to my daughter when I am dead and gone. If they would work like I had to and JOIN THE MILITARY they to could have nice things but to sit at home on your @$$ and expect someone else to give something to you just ain't right. If you have any self respect for yourself at all you will work for the things in life instead of expecting them to be handed to you because you are "OWED". You know who is owed...VETERANS...for signing a blank check for America...that is who is owed. I don't owe you or anyone other than my mortgage bank anything...period. Sorry about the ranting but this is a hot button for me. My parents and grandparents always taught me that a days pay is worth a days work and you reap what you sow...get to work if you want something and you will appreciate it a lot more.

Sounds like the same message that Charles Barkley was trying to get them to understand. But you will be ignored because of your 'white privilege.' Sad to say that some on this very forum would and probably will accuse you for being a racist for this statement; I wish that they would actually see what is being reflected back to them from that mirror. Same with the hypocrites here also.

On Patrisse Khan-Cullors purchasing of homes:

In 2016, she purchased a property in LA that cost $510,000. In 2018, bought a second home for $590,000. The average cost of a home in LA is $852,648. So it doesn't sound like she was really buying anything high priced or fancy. In Atlanta homes average $325,929. Her property in suburbs was $415,000.

There is literally no evidence that she used any money raised by BLM to purchase those homes. If someone has any feel free to share it. Also, since 2013 she's been paid $120,000 as a spokesperson for BLM and has not been paid since 2019. So from 2013- 2019 she got paid $120,000 from BLM. She's had two book deals, a production deal with WB, public speaking, owns a gallery, has a YouTube deal and teaches at a private college in AZ. Sounds like she has her own money.

The OP article is from 2017...and there's no link to any document but allegedly a copy and paste?

When I search this - there was no "demands." She posted this (again in 2017) after the "Unite the Right" rally in August 2017 that resulted in a woman, who was protesting their rally, getting killed by being run over by a car. It was a post of suggestions. No "demands." She posted it and then went on her day organizing a rally for that weekend.

No demands. An old article and post from 4 years ago. Also what's with the right saying 'stop protesting and get a job?" Do you really think people who go to protests you disagree with are all unemployed? Let's use that logic toward right wing rallies. Hmm - I guess that means everyone at the Capitol on Jan 6 was unemployed too right? Anyone who went to Trump rallies - unemployed based on that "logic" I presume?

So here we have an outdated "article" (if we can call it that) which sounds like someone complaining about a post she made on FB also 4 years ago. This took me maybe two minutes to do a search and find information that puts it into context. And addressing the false info about the founder buying homes with BLM money which she didn't.

Kelly - she owns 3 homes - worth 1.5 million dollars - that is more then many people see in their lifetimes - and I can bet my firstborn child that funds to BLM were somehow embezzled, siphoned, or misappropriated in order to facilitate her lifestyle. She peddles in racial divides, and will continue to scam and bait because it is her cash cow, much like Al Sharpton.

SSG Robert Perrotto So what? That's really not that much when you look at where she bought them and the value of homes in the areas she bought them. So people can't buy property anymore? I guarantee there's people in the military who buy property and rent it out while they're in. In multiple states. I've heard people I work with over the years talk about it.

The two in LA aren't really very high prices properties at all. And she bought it with her own money so what's the issue? Oh wait I know what it is...

Why would you ever bet your child on anything? Weirdo. Dumbest saying ever especially since no one owns their children. You people are just psychotic sometimes.

SFC (Join to see) - ok - let me put it in this manner. She advocates for equitable social standing for minorities, Her basis of operation is the plight of minorities, with a focus on black lives - not just law enforcement, but black lives as a whole, she points to poverty and low economic standing of black Americans, so what does she do - she buys 3 houses worth more then many of those she supposedly advocates for will see in their lifetimes, and more then many white families will see in their lifetimes. I have no issue with her buying a home - that is the american dream - but 3 homes instead of putting the money towards education, and other social services directly beneficial to those she supposedly advocates for - c'mon Kelly, she is a sham, and has no real interest in class and racial equality, and all about herself. She definitely is not practicing what she is preaching - like many on the left have said regarding firearms - "why do you need an AR-15" - I ask - who needs 3 homes?
