Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Khan-Cullors is criticized for allegedly going on a real estate buying spree where she bought four high-end homes, some in affluent, predominantly white neighborhoods.
According to property reports referenced by New York Post, Khan-Cullors is accused of buying four high-end homes for $ 3.2 million in the United States. She also reportedly considered a property in the Bahamas at an exclusive beachfront luxury resort outside of Nassau, where condos cost between $ 5 million and $ 20 million.
The Khan-Cullors real estate frenzy was triggered on Wednesday April 7, after the outlet Dirt revealed the $ 1.4 million Topanga Canyon complex that the BLM activist recently bought. The 2,370-square-foot property is said to have “high ceilings, skylights and lots of windows” and is just one of three homes Khan-Cullors owns in the Los Angeles area, according to public records.
At the height of the BLM 2020 movement, Khan-Cullors and his wife Janaya Khan purchased a “custom ranch” on 3.2 acres of rural land in Conyers, Georgia. Additionally, the activist reportedly paid $ 510,000 for a three-bedroom house in Inglewood, California, and $ 590,000 for a four-bedroom house in South LA that she bought in 2018.
After news of Khan-Cullors’ luxury life hit the press, other members of the Black Lives Matter organization called for an investigation. âIf you call yourself a socialist, you have to ask how much of his personal money goes to charitable causes,â said Hawk Newsome, the head of Black Lives Matter Greater New York City. “It’s really sad because it makes people doubt the validity of the movement and overlook the fact that it is the people who carry this movement.”
Khan-Cullors co-founded the Black Lives Matter movement with Alicia Garza and Opal Tometi in 2013. BLM activists have requested $ 20 million from the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, including Michael Brown Sr., whose son Michael Brown Jr . was killed. by police in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014.
âWhy didn’t my family foundation receive any help from the movement? Michael Brown Sr. asked in a statement last month, Yahoo News reports. “On behalf of many activists in the St. Louis area, I am joined by Mike Brown Sr., father of Mike Brown Jr. Today we hold Black Lives Matter accountable,” said community organizer Tony Russell.
