Pretty much everything I would think...
Did I mention she's a lesbian? I forget...
BLM's controversial co-founder Patrisse Cullors has admitted she lied when she said she had only ever used the group’s $6million LA mansion for official business.
Cullors, 38, told the Associated Press Monday that she used the opulent seven-bed Studio City compound - purchased in cash by BLM in October 2020 - for her own recreation twice.
The first instance saw her hold a party to toast Joe Biden and Kamala Harris's inauguration as president and vice president in January 2021.
Then, in March the same year, she commandeered the luxury property - whose purchase has sparked fury among other racial justice campaigners - for her school-aged son's birthday party. Cullors said of her earlier decision to lie: 'I look back at that and think, that probably wasn't the best idea.'
She previously issued a statement denying that she'd ever lived there or used the property for her personal gain after its purchase was revealed by New York magazine, triggering allegations of racism from BLM.
News of the previously under-wraps transaction - made more than a year and a half ago - triggered a firestorm of criticism concerning the financial practices of the foundation's top brass, which have already come into question in recent months.
Black Lives Matter raised $90 million in the wake of George Floyd's murder, and still has an impressive $60 million of cash at hand.
Explaining the reason behind the luxurious purchase, Cullors told AP: 'We looked at commercial buildings and we looked at homes and then we found this really amazing space that’s a sweet spot between commercial and residential.'
She went on to justify its purchase by highlighting how the mansion had a soundstage which enabled BLM to produce podcasts.
If that ain't a crock of shit, nothing is. I hope the people
that donated to this bullshit outfit are happy with how
their money is being spent. Juss' sayin'...
"Yeah, doing that was a bad idea. Ima not gonna do that again."
