Monica Showalter prophetically saw Black Lives Matter starting to fall apart over money almost two weeks ago, and events yesterday confirmed her prediction. Jon Street of Fox News reports on the grass roots local chapters that are demanding “accountability” and “transparency” in the wake of earlier revelations about the lavish spending of co-founder Patrisse Cullors . The reactions escalated yesterday, as the news that she has spent at least $35,000 on fencing and an electronic gate for that luxury compound became known.
It probably started with the mother of Breonna Taylor, a young woman who died in a police shooting, who criticized the organization for its exploitative ways. That may have surprised some people, but her argument was logical and believable: she said the organization not only did nothing to help the rest of Taylor's family, but raised millions of dollars for itself through the use of her daughter's name, while sharing none of its largesse.
