I’m no royalist but even I wouldn’t inflict that on them.

Why would you say that? You don't know me.

You post an opinion in open forum. I take issue with your opinion. You attempt to justify. I explain why said justification is irrelevant. You say I should do something I evidently can't. I respond with humour. You petulantly lash out.

What is wrong with people?

I've concluded over time that it's a defence mechanism when there is no other argument to make - an admission of defeat really. C'est la vie - think what you like. But just remember, if you post something on a public messageboard, there are likely to be people who disagree with you.

Heat, kitchen and all that stuff.

To be fair Frank it comes across as light banter.

Hmmm the irony!

Lol

This is in lots of news articles. It comes as a great shock to me. Maybe I need to think differently about BLM...

I assume that you are happy that a black woman has done well for herself and made some money, good man ninja i think you're on the road to Damascus

You might also wish to read further down that article:

Patrisse Cullors is the Executive Director of Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (BLMGNF),” the statement read. “She serves in this role in a volunteer capacity and does not receive a salary or benefits. Patrisse has received a total of $120,000 since the organization’s inception in 2013, for duties such as serving as spokesperson and engaging in political education work. Patrisse did not receive any compensation after 2019.”

The statement continues. “To be abundantly clear, as a registered 501c3, BLMGNF cannot and did not commit any organizational resources toward the purchase of personal property by any employee or volunteer. Any insinuation or assertion to the contrary is categorically false.”

“Patrisse’s work for Black people over the years has made her and others who align with the fight for Black liberation targets of racist violence. The narratives being spread about Patrisse have been generated by right-wing forces intent on reducing the support and influence of a movement that is larger than any one organization. This right-wing offensive not only puts Patrisse, her child and her loved ones in harm’s way, it also continues a tradition of terror by white supremacists against Black activists. All Black activists know the fear these malicious and serious actions are meant to instill: the fear of being silenced, the trauma of being targeted, the torture of feeling one’s family is exposed to danger just for speaking out against unjust systems. We have seen this tactic of terror time and again, but our movement will not be silenced.”

ie she received $120k for the work she undertook for the BLM movement, none of it went to purchase properties or any other private purpose, she has received nothing since 2019. Interestingly that is less than the amount of PUBLIC MONEY that went from Boris Johnson's office to a woman for technology lessons who he had a 4 year affair with.

" .... she purchased four high-end homes, with some being in wealthy predominately white neighborhoods.""

Shocking behaviour, how very dare she!?

What prompted that? Come on, let it out if it makes you feel better!

Not sure what the narrative is, what she's done is a fact. I personally never imagined a Marxist BLM leader spending that amount of cash on a property and adopting that sort of lifestyle. I guess there are worse areas to live. Good for her!

You see ninja that's the problem, that you can't imagine a successful black business woman who also happens to lead a black equality movement. Why is it that you can "never imagine" that? Do you see the problem?

And dont get furious with us , we're just holding up a mirror.

Hey I'm not looking for an argument and I'm certainly not furious!

Okaaaaay so the point of your post was that you wanted us all to know that you could never imagine a black woman buying a nice house. Fair enough.
