BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors says her mistakes with 'white guilt money' were weaponized against her
|
[NYPOST] Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors said that when $90 million in "white guilt money" came pouring into the organization’s coffers after the murder of George Floyd, the group had no infrastructure in place to handle the flood of cash — and now the mistakes made are being "weaponized" against her.
"I’m a human being that has made mistakes that want to change, want to challenge those mistakes and want to learn from those mistakes," Cullors told the host of MSNBC’s "Into America" podcast Monday. "And I think what’s been hard is feeling like there isn’t room and space for that."
The beleaguered former executive director of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation also addressed allegations that she had personally benefited from the donations by purchasing homes for herself, including a $6 million property in Los Angeles, which included a seven-bedroom mansion, a pool, a soundstage and a garden.
"This was an investment," she said. "It’s not my personal real estate. It’s not Patrisse Cullors’ real estate, it’s the organization’s real estate."
Cullors said the house was to be used as a "media creation space" for BLM and also as a safe house for activists, but she said the organization decided to stay mum about the true purpose of the mansion out of fear that the right-wing media would jeopardize the safety of those associated with the movement.
"The minute we shared the information with the public ... the right-wing media would do what they always do and they always did," she said. "Because the right-wing media doesn’t have any sense or care for people’s security or safety."
