Criticism of BLM founder for buying villa in rich neighborhood | Abroad

In addition, the self-proclaimed Marxist has bought a pricey retreat in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Topanga Canyon where, the Daily Mail reports, 88 percent of residents have a white complexion. Cullors would have paid 1.4 million dollars for the villa.

How the activist obtained such amounts is as yet unknown. AP News does report that Black Lives Matter received around $ 90 million in donations from its supporters last year. There is an indignant reaction on Twitter at the activist’s choice to purchase a palace in a rich ‘white’ neighborhood. She has been accused by both left and right activists of being a con man.

In addition to the Topanga Canyon home, Cullors and her partner Janaya Khan own three other Los Angeles homes. She was also looking for a home in a resort in the Bahamas, where Tiger Woods and Justin Timberlake also have a home, the Sun reports.

While Cullors invested her money in real estate, local BLM organizations no longer received financial support from higher up and had to try to keep afloat through crowdfunding campaigns. In addition to her work as an activist, Cullors is a teacher at Prescott College in Arizona and is under contract to TV and film giant Warner Brothers.
