Grieving mothers beat up BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors, saying she “took the money and run” after she resigned from the group.
Cullors’ resignation came after a so-called smear campaign by a far-right group, although she insists her resignation was planned before a scandal erupted earlier this year that put her personal wealth in question.

BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors resigns
Samaria Rice, the mother of a 12-year-old boy who was shot and killed by Cleveland police while playing with a toy gun, told the New York Post, “I don’t think she’s going anywhere.
“It’s all a facade. She only says that to get the heat off her. “
Los Angeles-based mother Lisa Simpson, whose son was murdered by police in 2016, also struck at Cullors.
“Now she doesn’t have to show her responsibility anymore,” Simpson, 52, told the Post. “She can just take the money and run away.”
Cullors’ resignation came after reports began circulating of several properties she owns in the United States and critics asked where she got the money to buy them.
The self-proclaimed “Marxist” BLM leader came under fire after it was reported that she had spent $ 1.4 million on land in a largely white part of Los Angeles, Topanga Canyon.
When people began to question how Cullors had received the funds to buy the new property, BLM released a quiet rumor statement stating that she was “volunteering and receiving no salary or benefits.”
“Since the organization was founded in 2013, Patrisse has received a total of US $ 120,000 for duties such as speaking and political education. Patrisse received no compensation after 2019.”
The co-founder reportedly bought three more homes across the country in the past five years in a home buying frenzy that cost $ 3.2 million.
However, Cullors has claimed that her work with the organization has remained altruistic.
“These were right-wing attacks that tried to discredit my character and I don’t assume what the right-wing thinks of me,” said Cullors of the scandal.

44-year-old Rice first turned to 37-year-old Cullors to get the group to help reopen a federal investigation into her son’s death in 2014.
“They’re benefiting from the blood of our loved ones and won’t even speak to us,” said Rice, who also blew up activists Shaun King and Tamika Mallory, whose speech at the Grammy Awards in March called on African Americans to “Demand the.” Freedom that this country promises. “
In March Rice joined Richard Risher’s mother, Simpson, to beat up BLM for, as Simpson put it, “raised money on behalf of our dead sons and gave us nothing back.”
BLM’s Los Angeles chapter reportedly raised $ 5,000 for her son’s funeral, but Simpson claimed she never received any of it.
“We have never engaged them as advocates in the fight for justice for our dead loved ones who were murdered by the police,” said Rice and Simpson’s statement published on March 16 by activist @Free Mumia Abu-Jamal has been. “The ‘activists’ have events in our cities and haven’t given us anything essential to use the pictures and names of our loved ones on their flyers. We don’t want or need you to parade on the streets to raise funds, platforms, movie deals etc by the deaths of our loved ones while the families and communities remain clueless and broken. “
The BLM movement was founded almost eight years ago to combat injustice against black Americans.
With Cullors’ departure, the organization will hire two new temporary executives to direct them in the near future.

Monifa Bandele, a longtime BLM organizer and founder of the Malcolm X Grassroots movement in New York City, and Makani Themba, an early supporter of the BLM movement and chief strategist at Higher Ground Change Strategies in Jackson, Mississippi, will join the ranks.
“I think both of them not only have a wealth of movement experience, but also a wealth of leadership experience,” said Cullors.
