I feel bad for the peaceful black folks who either protest with their wallet from home & those out there in the streets with the peaceful protesting and then going home, with no violence or damage done.
I have no sympathy for anyone else.
And they're just realizing now that they are being used. Thousands and thousands and thousands around the nation in tons of cities, all doing the leg work and protesting & a lot of them get involved with antifa and the violence and destruction.
But any expected support to keep their party going just isn't coming. Seems like a handful of chiefs at the top kind of running and directing things and profiting from it. And many many many millions going to democrats.

BLM’s National Arm Gave Little To Local Chapters While Reaping Millions, Local BLM Chapters Allege In Statement
Ten local Black Lives Matter chapters accused the movement’s national arm, BLM Global Network, of providing no acceptable financial transparency surrounding the “unknown millions of dollars” it has received since 2013.
“[M]ost chapters have received little to no financial support from BLMGN since the launch in 2013,” the local chapters said in a statement Monday.
Multiple founders of the BLM Global Network have said the local BLM chapters are the ones responsible for carrying out the work of the movement.
The Daily Caller News Foundation reported in June that BLM Global Network spent $4.5 million on consultants, travel and compensation for its staff from July 2017 through June 2019 while at the same time providing only $328,000 to outside groups such as its local chapters.
Ten local Black Lives Matter chapters issued a statement Monday accusing the movement’s national arm of providing little to no financial support to its local chapters, which are responsible for carrying out BLM’s mission.
The local chapters, including those of Washington, D.C., Chicago and Philadelphia, said in the statement that Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation has provided no acceptable financial transparency surrounding the “unknown millions of dollars” it has reaped since its founding in 2013.

Former BLM Global Network Managing Director Kailee Scales told the DCNF in June that the figures from its fiscal sponsor’s financial statements “do not reflect, for example, the in kind support for chapters and fundraising directed to chapters and programmatic assistance to chapters.”
“That work was carried out by employees and consultants to BLM,” Scales said.
However, the local BLM chapters said Monday that “most chapters have received little to no financial support from BLMGN since the launch in 2013.”
“For years there has been inquiry regarding the financial operations of BLMGN and no acceptable process of either public or internal transparency about the unknown millions of dollars donated to BLMGN, which has certainly increased during this time of pandemic and rebellion,” the chapters said.
Despite millions being donated to the network, local chapters have lacked support & resources from national leadership. As a result, much of our local community work continues to be erased. #BlackLivesMatter #BLM10 pic.twitter.com/JdbJOP53op

BLM Global Network announced in June it was launching a $6.5 million fund to support its local chapters after having received a windfall of donations following the May 25 death of George Floyd, who died after a white police officer knelt on his neck for more than eight minutes. The group told the Associated Press in mid-June it had received more than 1.1 million donations, with the average contribution clocking in at $33.
But the local chapters said in their statement Monday that only “selected chapters” have been invited to apply for that fund, which BLM Global Network said would provide affiliated chapters with grants up to $500,000.
The statement also alleged that BLM Global Network co-founder and sole board member Patrisse Khan-Cullors recently “became Executive Director against the will of most chapters and without their knowledge.”
Chapter organizers have also been prevented from “establishing financial transparency, collective decision making, or collaboration on political analysis and vision” within BLM Global Network, the signatories said.
“We understand that these issues are not new and that some chapters left, were not acknowledged, or were pushed out of network with the community of chapters because of them,” the statement read.
The accusation that local BLM chapters are locked out of engaging in the movement’s decision-making process follows a statement from Khan-Cullors in 2018 that the local, autonomous chapters are the ones responsible for carrying out the movement’s mission.
