NEW YORK (AP) — The foundation started by organizers of the Black Lives Matter movement is still worth tens of millions of dollars, after spending more than $37 million on grants, real estate, consultants, and other expenses, according to tax documents filed with the IRS.

This is what happens when you donate to a lib organization, they’ve definitely done a few good things w the money but really weird uses including basically a content house, paying consultants millions who were family / closely related to the people in charge of the $ and having a ton of money in stonks

    I remember he started a "fundraiser" for Tamir Rice without telling the family, and that caused issues between him and BLM. Also various people accusing him of grifting and fraud though various fundraisers and some website he started.

    I googled to find out his name, it's the Shaun King guy. While I obviously can't comment on his racial identity (it is definitely possible for mixed race people to look very "white"), the numerous accusations of fraud and being a progressive grifter are very concerning.

    No idea how involved he is with BLM after the fallout regarding the "fundraisers" he did.

      I've been following Shaun King for years and yet to see any accusations that really stick. Like he's totally a lib and you shouldn't expect anything but lib shit from him but he doesn't seem to be trying to rip anyone off and he amplifies a lot of the acab energy out there.
