Snippet taken from Talib’s latest podcast. Tory Russell pretty much sums up some of the concerns I’ve had with the BLM organisation. Even here in the U.K., there’s very little traceability with how the money is used amongst the BLM chapters we have & after the IRS report, I’m very much averse to donating directly to these organisations.

This video is important.

Alot of ground forces like this brother cant mobilize because of funding,

Damn that bytch got houses all over the world off the backs of dead black men :snoop:

This is why I stress the importance of getting involved in community on the ground instead donating to these organisations. Most of the time, they’re ran by people that don’t care about actually looking after black people and just want to profit from death.

Usually the folks about REAL action don’t get the money

I'ma watch just for more specific info on the situation. Damn shame how BLM shook out in the grand scheme. I got so much hate for talking about how some organizations and people were shady because BLM became such a buzzword. Like, people couldn't separate the movement from corrupt "leaders". Smh.

It was always a scam from a group of dusty Marxists. There was zero transparency from the jump, but no one cared initially because there was an active movement going on and there will always be white liberals willing to give you money to absolve their sins. All the marketing for that shyt was clearly aimed at white people too.

The only money they handed out to community organizations went to LGBTQ orgs, specifically trans orgs. I got no issue with those organizations obviously but when you're collecting money for black people you should dole some out to orgs that impact more black people. Most of whom are not LGBTQ. But that's where we got into the "all black lives matter" bullshyt, which was the most ironic shyt ever.

This is why the focus should be on community organization. Not national movements run by questionable people. We have the resources to support urban farming, school lunches for black children, health clinics, community centers, etc. A lot of those orgs already exist, they just need money and volunteers. All those orgs could have used some of those tens of millions.
