Black Lives Matter cashes in with $100 million from liberal foundations

For all its talk of being a street uprising, Black Lives Matter is increasingly awash in cash, raking in pledges of more than $100 million from liberal foundations and others eager to contribute to what has become the grant-making cause du jour.

The Ford Foundation and Borealis Philanthropy recently announced the formation of the Black-Led Movement Fund [BLMF], a six-year pooled donor campaign aimed at raising $100 million for the Movement for Black Lives coalition.

That funding comes in addition to more than $33 million in grants to the Black Lives Matter movement from top Democratic Party donor George Soros through his Open Society Foundations, as well as grant-making from the Center for American Progress.

“The BLMF provides grants, movement building resources, and technical assistance to organizations working advance the leadership and vision of young, Black, queer, feminists and immigrant leaders who are shaping and leading a national conversation about criminalization, policing and race in America,” said the Borealis announcement.

In doing so, however, the foundations have aligned themselves with the staunch left-wing platform of the Movement for Black Lives, which unveiled a policy agenda shortly after the fund was announced accusing Israel of being an “apartheid state” guilty of “genocide.”

Released Aug. 1, the platform also calls for defunding police departments, race-based reparations, breaking, voting rights for illegal immigrants, fossil-fuel divestment, an end to private education and charter schools, a “universal basic income,” and free college for blacks.
As far as critics are concerned, the grab-bag platform combined with the staggering underwriting commitment offer more evidence that Black Lives Matter is being used as a conduit for left-wing politics as usual.

“It’s about time people woke up to the fact that big money is using people as pawns to stoke racial hatred and further their global agenda,” said the Federalist Papers Project’s C.E. Dyer.

Bill Johnson, executive director of the National Association of Police Organizations, said corporations and others may want to think twice about partnering with the Ford Foundation, the fifth-largest U.S. philanthropy with $12.4 billion in assets.

For those of you who dont know who the Ford foundation are lets just say they are uncomfortably close to certain alphabet agencies and have a history of subverting real leftists ,anti imperialists and anti globalists

in short dont expect any drastic changes...or indeed any change for the better

Careful there, it seems like you're using the term "real leftists" in a positive way

I aint even mad.... how much money the clinton foundation raked in again from companies like goldman sachs and jp morgan chase and others... I'll wait.

So lets follow you down the rabbit hole here.... George Soros and the CIA/Henry Ford's philanthropy are funding BLM (if Im getting this straight), so then what happens?

That's it?!!?

A clear sign that this is not an organization of the people.

The Panthers never recieved such a gift.

Garvey either.

The NOI???? Nope.

MLK never did.

Malcolm said it best. An immediate red flag when it comes to a black man (or movement) is if they get praise from the mainstream in this country.

We're living in times where the truth literally doesn't matter anymore.

We're living in times where the truth literally doesn't matter anymore.

Especially when those continue to deny truth as some conspiracy theory.

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

As long as they continue to make white people and republicans upset.

 

[thekingsmen]

As long as they continue to make white people and republicans upset.

I guess Liberal whites dont count.

 

[CHL]

As long as they continue to make white people and republicans upset.

Are they two mutually exclusive groups?

 

[CACtain Planet]

As long as they continue to make white people and republicans upset.

That's all it takes huh

Sorry to seem dense, but who exactly is receiving this money?? BLM isn't like the old school Civil Rights groups or even the Panthers that had deep local organizations and branches. Do they even have an identifiable leader(s)? What would they even do with $300M? What have they done with their money so far? Looks like a graft and corruption issue waiting to happen.

Seems like they are trying to co-opt the movement, force out the idealists and eventually led the greedy/unscrupulous take over. They will be like Jesse Jackson in 5 years raking in money and sponsorships.

Granted, the only thing in that article that grates me is they always claim any Black group or movement "causes" racial friction. Black and police department friction has been going on for decades, doesn't need Soros to stoke anything. I think they are trying to co-opt and control any independent Black community voices before it gets out of control more than anything. Same shyt, different decade.
