BLM Scammed Millions out of Money

I know.

What a weird way to start “Black History Month.”

But I’m against the holiday —and what black people really need is a long hard look at the ugly history happening right now, right in front of us.

With that said, did you know that George Floyd’s car, a mostly broken green PT Cruiser, has sat in his driveway since his death, slowly degrading against the harsh Minnesota weather?

And that Floyd’s roommates who, besides his daughter, he considered the only family he had are struggling to pay his bills?

All of this would be tragic if it weren’t so patently absurd.

BLM received $90 million in donations after the slaying of George Floyd, and not a single penny has gone to the house he lived in; they didn’t even tow his car away. In fact, Floyd’s biological family never visited his home either, not even after he died to pick up his belongings.

Although Floyd’s family was launched into the media spotlight, “they didn’t even come and look and see where the man lived,” Theresa Scott, Floyd’s roomate says. “They never came and got none of his stuff. Nothing.”

This is the sort of thing that would be front-page news if journalists were interested in reporting on the reality of a situation rather than pushing a narrative. But instead, controversial conservative journalist Candace Owens has made a new documentary to uncover the truth about BLM, and it's being met with deafening silence.

“Black Lives Matter is a fraudulent organization that uses black emotion and black pain to extort dollars from white America.” — Candace Owens

Owens’ film, titled ‘The Greatest Lie Ever Sold,’ highlights the hypocrisy of BLM and the media, and it’s a must-watch for anyone who wants to understand what’s really going on in America today.

The Real George Floyd

It’s troubling that I haven’t heard a peep in the media from George Floyd’s roommates until now, two years after his death. And the only reason I can surmise is that they don’t have a positive story about BLM.

Alvin Manago and Theresa Scott lived with Floyd for several years in a cozy red two-story home in Minneapolis’s Minikahda Vista neighborhood.

In the film, Scott talks about how Floyd would read his bible every day and highlight his favorite sections, “I used to hear him reading that Bible out loud all the time,” she recalls with a laugh.

After Floyd died his expenses fell on their shoulders.

“We would share everything — the rent, lights, gas,” Scott tells Owens. “So when that happened to Floyd, everything fell back on me and Alvin.”

Manago, Floyd’s other roommate who had a brotherly relationship with him, goes so far as to agree with Owens that George Floyd’s face and likeness were taken advantage of by BLM.

He’s at a loss as to where all the cash they raised has gone.

“It’s like they used it as a way of funding whatever their motivation was,” he says. “I’d go to the George Floyd memorial and there’d be donations and [Manago would tell them] I don’t know who you are, or where this is going.”

So Where Did All The BLM Cash Go?

The weekends that the George Floyd protests and riots broke out, when our nation was tearing itself apart, 92 people were shot and 27 murdered in Chicago from crime.

So where was BLM then?

They weren’t helping to clean up the city or provide financial assistance to the families of those killed. In fact, they spent a large portion of their time and resources on real estate.

Yes, real estate.

Earlier this year BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors admitted to using the organization’s luxurious $6 million Los Angeles mansion to throw parties, despite saying she’d never use it for personal gain.

BLM also spent another $6 million on properties in Toronto for the non-profit group non-profit“ M4BJ,” an organization run by Cullors’ spouse. Moreover, all of this newfound is getting so dicey that celebs like Sharon Osbourne demanded a refund after donating $900K to “scam” Black Lives Matter.

“BLM should stand for ‘buy lavish mansions:’ Why are they buying big lavish mansions in the first place?”

— Vivek Ramaswamy, Silicon Valley entrepreneur

What else did Candace find out about the money?

Well, millions went into trans causes, which is great and all, but not sure how it helps Black Lives. Patrisse Cullors also paid her brother and the father of her child a cool $1 mil each; not to mention that the largest grant of $2.3 mil was given to “Living Through Giving.”

Who is Living Through Giving, you ask? It’s a fake charity run by another of Patrisse friends that has a broken website and no social media presence. And here’s the cherry on top. Oh boy. BLM also invested $32 MILLION into the stock market. As the Daily Mail wrote, “Madoff gave better returns to his investors than BLM did to black Americans.”

So much for fighting the power.

Riots are The Language of the Unheard

The MLK Jr. quote about “riots being the language of the unheard” has been going around for years now.

But what about his 1967 speech: “The Other America:”

“…riots are socially destructive and self-defeating. I’m still convinced that nonviolence is the most potent weapon available to oppressed people in their struggle for freedom and justice. I feel that violence will only create more social problems than they will solve.” — MLK Jr.

This is all to say, Chicago Avenue, where George Floyd was murdered and riots took place en masse, looks like a third-world country. Pastor Charles Karuku, a Kenyan immigrant who’s lived in the area since 1987 says everything is worse than before the riots.

“So many elements … took advantage of the death of George Floyd to stir up emotions for political gain, for financial gain, and to propagate division.

They are not helping the community. They are helping themselves.” — Pastor Charles Karuku

Homicides in Minneapolis, since defunding the police, have increased by 60% in 2020 and have more than doubled in 2021. This isn’t mentioning that the looting and destruction caused by the riots have cost small businesses more than $1 billion in damages.

At this point in Owen’s documentary, I got a little sick to my stomach as there are Black and Latino business owners who lost everything and were forced to clean up the mess left behind by BLM rioters who were egged on by leadership that doesn’t even live in the community.

Instead, these BLM huxters live in gated communities in LA, surrounded by luxury and wealth.

It would make great comedy if it weren’t so tragic.

Black Lives Matter is a New Religion

“It’s like trying to teach a fundamentalist Christian that they shouldn’t have faith in Jesus. I don’t mean that rhetorically. We need to go on and work around these people [BLM] forging progressivism of the kind that bears fruit — what that means is … we can’t be scared of being called a racist, we can’t let all of this utterly misguided under thought-out manipulative nonsense shape our intellect, the arts, and moral philosophy.”

— John McWhorter, Author of ‘Woke Racism: How a New Religion Has Betrayed Black America’

The problem with Black Lives Matter is the name.

If you say I don’t support “Black Lives Matter” you’re immediately on your back foot as a racist and a white supremacist. This cannot be. Just because you don’t support BLM doesn’t mean you don’t support black lives.

BLM is branding.

It’s marketing genius.

It’s a new religion that has taken over the progressive left into believing that BLM is the best if not the only way to help Black people. Patrisse Cullors, Ibram Kendi, and Robin DiAngelo are the new priests, and disagreeing with their rhetoric is dare I say heresy!

These people have done a great job convincing many that they are the new Martin Luther King Jr., Maya Angelou, and Malcolm X, when I can’t help but imagine these figures, my heroes, would be appalled at what their names and likenesses have been co-opted to sell:

I don’t ask the Foreign Legion
Or anyone to win my freedom
Or to fight my battle better than I can…

I’m afraid they’ll have to prove first
That they’ll watch the Black man move first
Then follow him with faith to kingdom come.

— Maya Angelou, On Working White Liberals

This is all to say: Love her or hate her, Candace Owens has released the best documentary of the current decade.

“The Greatest Lie Ever Sold” needs to be heard.

It’s a shame no professional critic has reviewed it and mainstream media like Rolling Stone only seem interested in assassinating her character. And now that I think about it, it’s satire bordering on a complete farce that the NFL, NBA, and majority of institutions accepted BLM unquestioningly.

It’s all so ridiculous and yet, here we are.

I urge you to watch it. You might not agree with everything Candace Owens says — I personally can’t stand her smugness (which she holds back for the most part) — but she makes some excellent points regardless:

Watch it: The Greatest Lie Ever Sold

Before You Go, Solutions

Before I go, I want to offer some solutions because it’s easy to be negative and point out all the things wrong with BLM. But what are we going to do about it?

First off, in the wake of George Floyd’s death, Minneapolis City Council President Lisa Bender was hellbent on defunding the police. However, when one reporter asked: “What if someone is breaking into my house, who do I call?”

She answered: “Yes, I hear that loud and clear from a lot of my neighbors. And I know — and myself, too, and I know that that comes from a place of privilege.”

Answers like that are where American democracy goes to die.

The police need reform and better training, this is true. But getting rid of them entirely is exactly what the priests of BLM want. They want to create more chaos, more destruction, and more division.

So, in the wake of this madness, here are some solutions I’ve considered:

• Arrest Protocol: This isn’t 1965. You aren’t a civil rights leader if you resist the police while you get arrested. The truth is that if the police mishandle you then settle it in court with a lawyer. Unfortunately, Black people have a culture of resisting arrest. I’ve seen it myself in Harlem where I live many times, and it’s exactly the situation that George Floyd was in. We need to change this culture. Moreover, I implore you to watch at least a few videos of police encounters where things went horribly wrong for the cops. Cops have no clue who’s a bad or good guy, make it easier on them by complying.

• End the War on Drugs: The War on Drugs is a huge failure and has done nothing but disproportionately target Black and Latino communities. Gangs inside these racial groups war over small plots of land to sell drugs because they have no other options. This is all to say why hasn’t Biden legalized weed at the federal level? Why aren’t we decriminalizing drugs, especially ones like MDMA, LSD, and psilocybin that have been shown to be incredibly therapeutic? Eventually, all drugs should be on the table to be legalized. But we need to start somewhere.

• Black on Black Crime: Nationwide black people are six times more likely to get murdered than whites (and in some cities double that). And 93 percent of these murders are committed by members of the African American community. The cops aren’t perfect, but they aren’t the problem (which I’m about to get to), instead, we need to address the root causes of crime.

• Cops Aren’t the Problem (Mostly): 1000 people are killed by cops each year according to Statista. There are 50-to-60 million police encounters a year and 10 million arrests; so the chances of being killed by cops are 1-in-10,000. Not to mention many, if not most, of these encounters are entirely justified. And get this: Roland G. Fryer, a professor at Harvard found that police are more likely to be rougher with white suspects than black ones. But, as I said before, the police need better training and discretion in weeding out the bad apples.

• Wealth Creation: This is something that no one on the left or the right wants to talk about, but it’s the key to solving crime in Black neighborhoods. If we can create more wealth in these communities, then there will be less crime because people will have more to lose. Inciting riots and burning down buildings does nothing but destroy what little wealth these communities have. We need to create more jobs, give tax breaks to businesses that move into these areas, and invest in small businesses.

• Tony Timpa: Tony Timpa is a white man who was killed by Dallas police almost exactly the same way as George Floyd. But you’ve likely never heard his name. Why’s that? Because he’s white. MLK Jr.’s dream of color blindness has been COMPLETELY abandoned. Instead of analyzing police killings by good or bad killings, we analyze them by race. The killing of Tyre Nichols is another tragic example. One day I hope race is looked at as innocuously as hair color, but with the intersectionality politics of today, I’m not so sure.

• Systemic Racism: Glorifying victimhood, poverty, and crime, as in hip-hop and pop culture, needs to end (or at least lessen). We need to celebrate success instead of making excuses for failure. Moreover, reparations for Black people already happened: Affirmative action, The Community Reinvestment Act, welfare, food stamps, affordable housing — are all forms of reparations. What we need now is for people to take advantage of these and stop taking the low-hanging fruit of blaming SYSTEMIC RACISM. Black people from the Caribbean and Africa have been coming to America and succeeding for the last 50 years. So if systemic racism were real, they would be failing too. Yes, there are racial problems in this country, but BLM exaggerates them to comedic levels.

That’s all I got, so far.

There are many surprises that Candace Owens has in “The Greatest Lie Ever Sold,” that I haven’t gone over. Some I agree with. Some I don’t. I won’t reveal any of it here.

For now, I’ll leave with a quote from Malcolm X, who vehemently despised the media, and with good reason:

“The media’s the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that’s power. Because they control the minds of the masses.” — Malcolm X
