How do you feel about BLMs multimillionaire CEO

[ajax18]

Ajax, this is only a concern because you are sticking it to a black person, isn't it?

I'm surveying how you feel about this case. Whaich option did you choose Moksha?

If you gave a damn how anyone felt you could simply ask them. Your "poll" is reduced to three ridiculous options that relies on a position it assumes to be true.

If this option were available:

I agree with BLM's cause. I think Patrice Cullor's shouldn't be criticized for being a multimillionaire just because she is black and female.

It's pretty clear that they brought a $6 million house for $4 million then sold it two weeks later for $6.9 million or more. Nobody knows every detail of it. But it doesn't take a J.D. in tax law to look at the big picture and see as you do that this is a massive grift predicated on grievance theater.

Face it ajax, you don't know ANY details about ANY of this. The organization has stated no money was stolen from them nor were any funds used to buy properties. Your position is inherently racist because it presumes a black woman concerned about inequality cannot be a successful financially. For racists like you, the ONLY way she should be able to afford a house that expensive is through illegitimate means.

I, like most people, don’t really have a full or clear picture of BLMNGF’s financials. I see an Economist article referencing $10.6 billion in pledges to BLM and BLM-related charitable causes, but I don’t think anyone has an idea of anyone else’s monies. Even if I agreed with BLM’s mission statement, I wouldn’t donate to it because there’s no obvious oversight and no obvious purpose to the national office’s affiliate offices’ use of funds other than agitating for more funds. The whole thing appears to be a massive grift predicated on grievance theater.

And that's why I wouldn't donate to it either. Where would the money go, and for what purpose?

BLM is much bigger than any organization but ajax likes to keep things small so he can attack them easier. The overall movement is a decentralized network of people and organizations with no formal hierarchy. The slogan "Black Lives Matter" itself remains untrademarked by any group.

Could I make this option for you?

I agree with BLM's cause. I think Patrice Cullors made her millions off of individual private business and honest labor, not BLM donations. If anyone believes differently, than they are lying racists, misogynist, homophobes.

Why are you providing options that make definitive statements about the sources of her income when in reality you have no idea. None of us do. That's what makes your entire survey idiotic.

[Gadianton]

how about:

I agree with BLM's cause. I think Patrice Cullors made her millions off of individual private business and honest labor, not BLM donations. If anyone believes differently, having recycled a story about fraud from a source that is wrong 9 out of 10 times without first having put any effort into verifying the claims, then racism is a strong candidate for a motive.

You also failed to offer any options for those of us who haven't donated to BLM but for reasons other than claims about fraud.

For me, even if she did make her money legit-ly off of her new found celebrity, living a life of conspicuous consumption isn't a very good look for someone who sets themselves up as a crusader for bringing a people out of poverty and oppression.

If you are going to count being wealthy as a reason for doubting someone's bona fides as an advocate for the poor, that would have eliminated quite a few past US politicians who did a lot for the poor and oppressed. I'm not sure that the poor and oppressed would have been delighted by that.
