BLM announces insolvency
The controversial group Black Lives Matter is reporting a sizeable loss that may cause them to enter bankruptcy proceedings, also referred to as insolvency. The group’s financial reports reveal they are almost 8 million dollars in debt. The organization previously received 90 million dollars in donations following their foundation. The group rose to prominence in 2020 following the death of George Floyd. BLM received attention mainly from leading protests after the death of Floyd and other Black Americans involved in altercations with police. Some of the protests were violent, but the organization maintained the violence was due to frustration by citizens due to injustice. Black Lives Matter was later heavily criticized by the families of some of those deceased, who the organization claimed to be protesting on their behalf. Some of the families claim they never received monetary donations from the organization that they were previously promised. Adding to the group’s woes internal struggles arose over excessive spending and salaries by leaders, resulting in one BLM branch suing the national organization, accusing leaders of embezzling donations. The group according to the New York post only spent 33 percent of donation dollars on charitable organizations (about 30 million dollars). The group has also been accused of intentionally ignoring and not offering support for traditional black families, ignoring black on black crime in large cities, such as Chicago, New York City, and the Los Angeles area. They have also been accused of promoting a strong LGBT leaning, and the open persecution of police nationwide. The leaders of the group have denied any charges or embezzlement and claim accusations of any kind against the leaders and the group are forms of racism and bullying.
