BLM Co-Founder Slams ‘Triggering’ Laws after $6M Mansion Exposed
The co-founder of Black Lives Matter (BLM) slammed the U.S.’s “triggering” charity transparency laws after the organization’s purchase of a $6 million Los Angeles mansion was exposed.
Patrisse Cullors, a BLM founder, said she found it “triggering” — emotionally compromising — when she hears about financial documents being made public.
“It is such a trip now to hear the term ‘990,’” Cullors said at the Vashon Center for the Arts Friday. “I’m, like, ugh. It’s, like, triggering.”
“I actually did not know what 990s were before all of this happened,” Cullors continued.
Cullors claimed that activists’ lives are put at risk and that they endure trauma by having to disclose their charities’ finances, while also claiming the system “is being literally weaponized against us,” the Washington Examiner reported.
“This doesn’t seem safe for us, this 990 structure — this nonprofit system structure,” she said. “This is, like, deeply unsafe. This is being literally weaponized against us, against the people we work with.”
“People’s morale in an organization is so important. But if their organization and the people in it are being attacked and scrutinized at everything they do, that leads to deep burnout. That leads to deep, like, resistance and trauma,” Cullors added.
Cullors blasted the media scrutiny of BLM as an “experiment” that will be used as a means to bring down other activist groups similar to her organization.
Cullors left her leadership post with BLM in May 2021 amid scrutiny of multiple real estate purchases.
She also used the $6 million mansion purchased by the BLM Global Network Foundation as a “safe place” for at least four nights during an FBI investigation into a death threat made against her.
Cullors is facing renewed scrutiny over the multimillion-dollar mansion, with the BLM co-founder defending the purchase in a lengthy Twitter thread Monday.

Ho Ho Ho let them try to tell that to the ones they cheated and lied to,as most are aferican americans not whites,will the ones they cheated say its ok,if they do they are as stupid as the b l m claimes.
This is one of many disgusting actions of BLM. In my opinion Cullors should be housed in a 4 x 4 cell rather than a $6 million mansion. It is my understanding that the money Cullors used to purchase her mansion was funds donated to BLM to further their cause— whatever that might be. I think the IRS, the FBI, the DOJ and any number of law enforcement bodies would and should be investigating Cullors.
These people I guess feel like they can hide under the guise of a cute sounding acronym while they enrich themselves essentially stealing other well meaning people’s money. They are disgusting.
Ok to steal but not get caughty!
Finally, y someone take the bull by the horns to show all this BLM and others are wrongdoing to America. That has to stop.
LISTEN UP…BLM could Do MORE for Their COMMUNITIES than for THEMSELVES. If THEY want RESPECT….They have to EARN IT. Instead of a MANSION the NEIGHBORHOODS could use CHEAPER APTS. RENTS are SKY HIGH. I have Other IDEAS to PUT the MONEY to GOOD USE. From SamuraiQueen. 😄😄😄😇😇😇
So BLM can afford $8 million Mansions, but they can’t afford a lawyer to advise them on legal issues.
put Ms Collurs picture in a frame, and title it “Here is Graft & Corruption”
Typical ni**er. Every time they get caught or backed into a corner out comes the old well worn race card. Some things never change.
Yup,
You’s oppressing me’s! Sad thing is it’s likely money donated by African Americans as mentioned above that is squandered. BLM is a corrupt group and I hope gets shut down.
