Black Lives Matter has evaded scrutiny for far too long - by Jawad Iqbal

Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

Last year, the same woman was the subject of a few curious stories about real estate purchases.

As protests broke out across the country in the name of Black Lives Matter, the group’s co-founder went on a real estate buying binge, snagging four high-end homes for $3.2 million in the US alone, according to property records.

Patrisse Khan-Cullors, 37, also eyed property in the Bahamas at an ultra-exclusive resort where Justin Timberlake and Tiger Woods both have homes, The Post has learned. Luxury apartments and townhouses at the beachfront Albany resort outside Nassau are priced between $5 million and $20 million, according to a local agent.

The self-described Marxist last month purchased a $1.4 million home on a secluded road a short drive from Malibu in Los Angeles, according to a report. The 2,370-square-foot property features “soaring ceilings, skylights and plenty of windows” with canyon views. The Topanga Canyon homestead, which includes two houses on a quarter-acre, is just one of three homes Khan-Cullors owns in the Los Angeles area, public records show.

To paraphrase Django…

“Everything that came out of BLM’s mouth is horseshit, but they were right about one thing. She is that 1 in 10,000 nigger.”


I say good luck to her, she took all those donations from well meaning, but truly gullible people and made hay tbh.

1 in 10,000

Dont buy into the BLM movement, its all about politics.
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

Power, prestige, vanity, opportunism, about $56million in change not yet accounted for. So, greed as well.

Just another day at the races.

Misunderstood, me. I thought politics was about lunch with other politicians, and ensuring one was rehired following the next round of voting.
I blame Facebook for fecking up the Oxford English dickshunry.

Another brand of politics there.

In any case, a lot of blactivism strikes me as a shakedown. See also Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.

There was a very minor incident at a company I worked for a while back.

The word Paki was indistinctly heard, and the eager young buffoon in the room threatened everyone else present in the room with being reported for racism, without first understanding the meaning of the word, or it’s context in use at that time, or even if those now accused and convicted had been aware that any such word had been uttered.
A Pakistani colleague previously described themselves as being a paki, and was suitably chastised by one of more Caucasian origin for inappropriate racial language.

The power that comes with invoking any reference to possible racism, however tenuous, is frankly quite frightening, as the mud sticks, and politically correct types latch on and lose all perspective for fear of not being equally vigilant. I wonder if the McCarthy era was similar.
