The father of a black teen shot dead by police has joined-in demands to know what Black Lives Matter's $90 million funds have been used for after its co-founder's $3 million property portfolio was exposed.
Michael Brown Sr - whose 18 year-old son Michael Brown was shot dead by a cop in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014, added his name to the BLM 10 Plus movement. It is comprised of the original 10 Black Lives Matter chapters, and is seeking transparency and accountability from BLM about how its cash has been used.
Co-founder Patrice Cullors resigned last month after her $3 million property portfolio was revealed, although those houses were bought with cash Cullors earned through public speaking and books she has written.
Black Lives Matter took in $90 million in 2020, and was left with a balance sheet of $60 million by January 2021. Around $8 million was spent on expenses, including staffing costs with the other $20 million donated to local chapters and nonprofits.,
Those numbers - and news of Cullors' property portfolio - has led to questions about how BLM is spending its money, and complaints over a lack of transparency from bereaved families previously supported by the group.
Michael Brown Sr. is perhaps the most notable name to join the BLM 10 Plus movement, Fox News reported.

The only black lives that matter are the few Marxists (BLM) blacks benefitting from this massive extortion and exploitation of poor blacks. They are no better that carpet baggers but much more dangerous.
This should not be a surprise to anyone! These BLM people could care less about less fortunate blacks or the slaughter of blacks by blacks in our major cities. They are nothing more than a terrorist group and need to be outlawed and the members sent to prison for a long time!
Thry're insurrectionists all! Communist Revolutionaries,including those in academia,media and GOVERNMENT require a FIRING SQUAD.
They are attacking us from within!!! Only an ignorant fool or useful idiot trained by a treasonous academia/media can doubt it!!!
You nailed it!
Yup
What can you expect from an organization founded and managed by admitted members of the Communist Party?? Donors should pay more attention to who they are giving their money to.
Unfortunatly their biggest doners are large corps. like Coca Cola, Apple and many others. They're also funded by the NFL, NBA, MLB and others all the ones that push Critical Race Theory ie: Public Schools, and University's. If you are white they tell you you are a racist, and should apologize for being white. Our government is pushing the Military and ALL government employes, and many large corporations to attend anti-white (manditory) classes. They call it social justice, I call it COMMUISM!
