Al Sharpton effectI have no idea what is going on.
I think a lot of this has to do with a recent story where it was said that the Black Lives Matter organization raised about $90 million last year and the families of some of the most high-profile victims of police shootings, like Mike Brown & Tamir Rice, didn't get a cut. And the word is that a large portion of those funds were redirected to LGBTQ organizations.
we got those on deck..especially where I'm at..like we really got those..so keep building..we got some black owned stuff around here..just gotta keep it..Nip had his own shop..keep building..black dollar recycled...true but check this , ..quick question , anybody stopping anyone in those blocks from running a black food truck ?
From the start, Black Lives Matter has been about LGBTQ livesThis...is what bothers me... brah
that was the purpose of that report, i started seeing that shit right b4 the election , i had a few words on insta with these white bitches sending me to these bogus sites & memes and u could tell the purpose was to poison the convo in hopes people stop protestin n bringing the heat & kicking up dust ! i shut them down with "BLM is a movement not an org or a building "its a call for justice for over policing & criminalization of black bodies & any other discussion u bring into it that isnt an attempt to end the siege on black bodies is an attempt to silent black voices .. they left the roomThis...is what bothers me... brah

only thing is..gentrification concerns me deeply..Super Bowl in my city next year..summer Olympics coming soon to my city..its like they want to clean up by time that shit takes place(you know what I mean by clean up)..I can't stand it..just like other black people in black communities all around..it hurts..but we gon ride...thats it ! we need more and more & better that serve our communities
it gets stuff when big multinationals get involved in shit but theres a lot of room for entrepreneurshiponly thing is..gentrification concerns me deeply..Super Bowl in my city next year..summer Olympics coming soon to my city..its like they want to clean up by time that shit takes place(you know what I mean by clean up)..I can't stand it..just like other black people in black communities all around..it hurts..but we gon ride...
we might be alright..time will tell..but we here..man..I went to check my oil on my car the other day..one of the homies rolled up on me..we chop'd it..but I just remember him saying..you still around..that stood out..that was a compliment..you know..we lose a lot of ours and its cool to see your old school homies still looking and doing good..all that said..we here..gotta continue...it gets stuff when big multinationals get involved in shit but theres a lot of room for entrepreneurship
My suggestion..we need our own..there's a Asian community in almost every city..Hispanic community..even out here in L.A. they have taco stands setup on off blocks and they people be lined up to recycle their dollar with their own..we need some type of togetherness..all I know..til then..we can complain like we been doing...
the dynamic of the west creates these situations and america's human & historical landscape exacerbates it,but a true understanding of self & history that evades alot of people would cure this so we wont be dismayed either wayEvery other group but us still has their "culture" intact meaning that they have a language, religion or even a national identity that they can unite around and start businesses etc. Imagine if instead of being Korean, Japanese, Chinese etc. people were just asian and had to find something in common despite not having a common language, religion, festivals etc. Most "ethnic" communities get started catering to people who only speak their language, eat their food, practice their religion etc. and then use that $ to go legit. This is what makes slavery in the US one of the most destructive acts in human history.![]()

'We're Coming for What We Deserve': Michael Brown's Father, Ferguson Activists Demand $20M After BLM Group Reveals It Raised Over $90M Last Year
Michael Brown Sr., whose son Michael Brown Jr. was fatally shot by a white Ferguson, Missouri, police officer in August 2014, is demanding financialatlantablackstar.com
Yes we made it..going on trial..get the fuck outta here you fucking dweebMFers ain't never seen a police line in their lives up in here talkin sheeeet
Activism is just that. ACTIVE-ism. It has NEVER been just talk or just marching.
MFers upset at Mallory because she took it from the street level (and I was there when BLM started ON THE STREET with NO WHITE people)
and now she is on an international stage having conversations with democratic movers and shakers like Bernie, Biden and VP Harris
Whatever the platform and however she got there, SHE GOT THERE and zoomed right past Cornel West and them corny MFers
Movement made more strides in 2020, than I've seen in my entire adult life. White cops actually going on trial for MURDER now.
Other inroads have also been made but I am not going into all that. Nothing but love and respect for the YOUNG people of this era
Yes we made it..going on trial..get the fuck outta here you fucking dweeb
someone who gets it ! ^^^ some these cats so stuck in the movies & 60s stories that they forget the world is changed and things evolve n we must evolve our tactics, there's more than one way home.. i was there over last summer in the streets from midtown manhattan to barclays center to deep in flatbush watching cop cars burn, ... theres many side to it! ,MFers ain't never seen a police line in their lives up in here talkin sheeeet

last line is the biggest crime ever in history and it worked and we can't seem to shake it..that's why I hate when we hurt ourselves..everything that has been done to us..and we are still here..but we dog each other sometimes...Every other group but us still has their "culture" intact meaning that they have a language, religion or even a national identity that they can unite around and start businesses etc. Imagine if instead of being Korean, Japanese, Chinese etc. people were just asian and had to find something in common despite not having a common language, religion, festivals etc. Most "ethnic" communities get started catering to people who only speak their language, eat their food, practice their religion etc. and then use that $ to go legit.

Another problem is everyone thinks their way is the only way. An old activist once told me “it takes tree shakers AND jelly makers.”
90 million raised...where the money atsomeone who gets it ! ^^^ some these cats so stuck in the movies & 60s stories that they forget the world is changed and things evolve n we must evolve our tactics, there's more than one way home.. i was there over last summer in the streets from midtown manhattan to barclays center to deep in flatbush watching cop cars burn theres many side to it but the fire it sparked in alot of the youth is what the elders r failing to recognize and harness ,its like they want these kids to engage in THEIR OWN BYGONE ERA instead of guiding them to escape the traps n mistakes they made
BLM movement with whatever faults folks can find has done a lot of good , it sparked a new desire in the youth to activism
What should they do with it?90 million raised...where the money at
Redistribute itWhat should they do with it?
To whom? Based on what guidelines?Redistribute it
What is their purpose? You think this money they get from donations off of black death should be kept lmaoTo whom? Based on what guidelines?
Really dude? To victims families, pay for legal costs, hire independent investigators or forensic labs that may evidence differs from what police states. Billboards to keep pressure up (ya man Jason Black does that).To whom? Based on what guidelines?
I was about to respond again but clearly he's crazyReally dude? To victims families, pay for legal costs, hire independent investigators or forensic labs that may evidence differs from what police states. Billboards to keep pressure up (ya man Jason Black does that).
If you don't know what you're taking money for - why are you doing it in the first then?

Not sure I agree with Tamir mom's but there is obviously a back story that I am not aware of....that being said this right here needs to be explained....did you raise 90 million?...what is it being used for?...there are people coming at BLM so the best way to shut them up is to show the money is being put back into the movement...transparency is important for any progressive movement as lack of transparency is one of the main ways people use to tear down such movements...BLM should address this immediately90 million raised...where the money at
