Patrisse Cullors, the co-founder of Black Lives Matter, a group known for racially divisive messaging and riots around the nation, is stepping down from her position at the “organization” as Executive Director. Cullors has taken much heat over the recent past.
Recently she was accused of using Black Lives Matter money to buy four homes. USA Today “fact-checked” that claim though, and said there is no proof that Black Lives Matter donations are linked to the payment of all her homes, although her lavish lifestyle has still led many to question her credibility.
Cullors claimed though, that criticism, at least from the right-wing, is not why she is stepping down.
“Those were right-wing attacks that tried to discredit my character, and I don’t operate off of what the right thinks about me.”
Cullors posted a YouTube video about her “transitioning out of Black Lives Matter global network foundation”. She said that the organization changed and transformed her life. As a young Black activist, she wanted to “fight back” after the George Zimmerman controversy.
She went on to detail more, including that “challenging the police” was one of her goals early on. She said she was recently asked to come back during the George Floyd riots period. She then drops and “F” bomb and says she is “so F—- proud of all the work she’s done over the years.” She says that she ran an institution that is challenging “White Supremacy”.
“No worries y’all” she says though. There are “amazing folks” who will continue running Black Lives Matter. So if you though this group was going away from this news, it looks like it probably won’t. We do hope that governments start cracking down on illegal rioting and looting though.
Feel free to watch her resignation video below, where she claims it was only an interim job to begin with:
