The National Black Lives Matter organisation is threatening legal action against one of its own activists after he called for an independent investigation into how finances are being spent, following revelations concerning co-founder Patrisse Khan-Cullors’ property spending binge, and further money raking activities.
As we highlighted yesterday, Hawk Newsome, who heads up a Black Lives Matter group in Greater New York City, made the call for an investigation, telling the New York Post
“If you go around calling yourself a socialist, you have to ask how much of her own personal money is going to charitable causes.”
Newsome said
“black firms and black accountants” should conduct an audit on BLM Global Network Foundation to “find out where the money is going.”

The National Black Lives Matter organization continues to attract criticism from those they claim to be supporting. Local BLM chapters have taken the global organization to task over its lack of transparency related to how it is using the funds it receives from donors.
A few days ago, the national BLM organization came under fire after discovering that one of its co-founders, Patrisse Cullors, had bought a $1.4 million home in southern California. The blatant hypocrisy was roundly condemned by many on both the left and the right.
But now, a black mother of a child who was killed by police is also making her views known on the matter. Lisa Simpson, whose son was killed during an encounter with the Los Angeles Police Department in 2016, has been a sharp critic of the national organization’s leaders. Recently, she staged her own protest calling out leaders of the national organization for profiting from the deaths of black men.
