BLM founder Patrisse Cullors unfazed by Kanye calling org a 'scam', gives her LA mansion a $1.4M upgrade
BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors owns four residential properties with a total value of more than $3 million in California and Georgia
October 8, 2022
A local realtor checked the title documents and confirmed by saying "There is no mortgage holder on the property. The home was purchased by the entity name 'Abolitionist Entertainment, LLC.'" Critics pointed at her by asking if the property was purchased with money she earned from the nonprofit after seeing her astounding real estate portfolio. Cullors also debunked the reports, claiming she bought her wide range of properties with the financial windfall she received from her speaking and book deals. She slammed "right-wing bullying" and said she did not use a single penny from the $90 million donations raised by BLM in 2020.
Along with Alicia Garza and Opal Tometi, Cullors established 'Black Lives Matter' in 2013. In 2015 she told a crowd that she and her fellow organizers are "trained Marxists" in ideology who had gathered to hear her at an event. "We are super-versed on, sort of, ideological theories. And I think what we really tried to do is build a movement that could be utilized by many black folk," she said. She claims to be inspired by the founder of the communist ideology, Karl Marx who was known to be against capitalism and wanted to replace it with a socialist system. Marx was strictly against the idea of owning private property along with many elements of capitalism as he believed that it contributed to an "oppressive class structure."
This comes just days after Kanye West created yet another controversy by wearing a provocative 'White Lives Matter' sweater at his surprise Yeezy fashion show in Paris on Monday evening, October 3. The rapper and designer slammed the global cause on Instagram and addressed his followers in a post written in white upper-case lettering on a stark black background, "Everyone knows Black Lives Matter was a scam. Now it's over. You're welcome." Right-wing commentator Candace Owens joined West who is now known as 'Ye', and was seen wearing a complementary version of West's sweater. 'White Lives Matter' was previously called a hate slogan by the Anti-Defamation League.

I would upgrade my mansion to the tune of 1.4 mill if somebody else would pay for it.
