Is there any doubt in anybody’s thoughts that Black Lives Matter is nothing greater than a rip-off (“Black Lives Tatters,” Might 18)?
Reasonably than utilizing their supporters’ donations for the betterment of the black group, BLM’s completely corrupt leaders have been utilizing the cash to purchase up luxurious properties, make huge payouts to folks inside their private circle and throw lavish events to have a good time their “success.”
I really feel unhealthy for anybody who ever rallied in assist of Black Lives Matter — for you may have been taken for a idiot and completely ripped off.

This misuse of funds goes to have the ripple impact of a decline in funding. It can create a chilling impact on donors.
I’m amazed on the lack of fiduciary duty from Cullors and board members and the degrees of wasted spending, together with missed alternatives to have an actual impression.
It appears they have been clouded by greed and blinded by self-interest in financially supporting households and pals, which served no real interest in enhancing the horrible circumstances going through so many black communities.

Each single one that donated cash, hung a flag, posted an indication and protested on behalf of BLM is complicit within the charity’s scheme to divert operational funds for leaders’ personal use.
You have been hoodwinked by grasp manipulators, and never one in all you who jumped on the BLM practice will admit to being taken for a journey.
A cool $37 million went to finance actual property in upscale neighborhoods, journey on personal planes, grants for grassroots assist and “consultants.”
The one lives improved by BLM have been these of Cullors and her merry band of thieves. Select your representatives and champions of honor correctly.

New York was a haven for Jews, however has changed into a cesspool of anti-Semitism (“CUNY Israel Slap,” Might 19).
It was unhealthy sufficient that CUNY Legislation College deemed it OK to have as its graduation speaker Nerdeen Mohsen Kiswani, an individual who helps the destruction of Israel.

Everyone seems to be entitled to specific their emotions. That's what democracy about. Nevertheless, I don't hear the identical outrage over our present bail-reform regulation, which makes a mockery of our criminal-justice system.
Greatest to place extra vitality into what results New Yorkers each day and pay much less consideration to international coverage points that they in all probability know much less about.
