The guy in the above photo actually said that. This is one reason to why conservatives argue that BLM’s ultimate objective is a communist state.<\/span><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

An upper-level administrator for BLM is accused of siphoning approximately $10 million for personal use. These funds were intended for BLM. The founder of the Los Angeles chapter of BLM filed charges at the Los Angeles Superior Court. The board secretary, Shalomyah Bowers, is with Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation. He is accused of using BLM as a source for personal funds.<\/p>\n

From Just the News:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Melina Abdullah, who founded the Los Angeles chapter of BLM and who manages some of the group’s grassroots efforts, said in a filing in Los Angeles Superior Court that Shalomyah Bowers, the board secretary of Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, has used BLM as his “personal piggy bank” and has “betray[ed] the public trust by self-dealing and breaching his fiduciary duties.”<\/p>\n

The suit claims that Bowers managed to run “well-respected advocates out of the organization” and further “managed to steal control over GNF as the sole Board member and officer.”<\/p>\n

In a statement posted to the BLM website, the group accused Abdullah of “tak[ing] issue with the decision-making coming from BLMGNF leadership.”<\/p>\n

The group offered lengthy responses to Abdullah’s claims and argued its leadership has been “consistent and truthful” in its dealings.<\/p>\n

“We as Black people and Black-led organizations cannot continue spending all of our precious time and energy fighting and tearing each other down,” they wrote. “That is using the oppressor\u2019s tools.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
