Some mothers of Black sons and daughters killed by police officers are criticizing the Black Lives Matter national organization amid controversy over co-founder Patrisse Cullors’ lavish lifestyle.
“It’s all a facade,” Samaria Rice, the mother of 12-year-old Tamir Rice, who was killed by a White police officer in Cleveland in 2014, told the New York Post on Saturday.
Rice said she requested Cullors’ help in re-launching a federal investigation into her son’s death. But short of exchanging a few emails, her pleas never garnered face time with the Black Lives Matter executive director.
“They are benefiting off the blood of our loved ones, and they won’t even talk to us,” Rice said.
Cullors announced her departure after a five-year reign earlier this week following reports she had purchased four homes for $3.2 million.
Say it ain’t soooo lol
Oh, no shit Sherlock.
Of course they are!
They need $ to buy more houses$
This was said early on by some of those families that they did not want BLM influence and especially for no appearances by Al Sharpton or visits by him at funerals. If they look at interviews with the families and media coverage you will find this was true.
Finally, someone’s seeing them for what they are!
They finally had a V-8!
