As the country prepares to mark the one-year anniversary of the murder of George Floyd, an event that galvanized unprecedented support around the Black Lives Matter movement, Tarver’s case illustrates the mixed feelings and uncertainty that underlie the national organization as it moves forward
But the Black Lives Matter Global Network also faces questions about its leadership, dissent over what some perceive as a lack of financial transparency and resentment from some community groups and victims’ families over feeling unrecognized.
Quote:
The dispute over the national group’s transparency spilled into the open in December, when a group of major metropolitan chapters issued a statement announcing their departure from the global network, adding to the criticism leveled at the network by the mothers of some of those killed, including Breonna Taylor and Tamir Rice.
“In our experience, chapter organizers have been consistently prevented from establishing financial transparency, collective decision making or collaboration on political analysis and vision within BLMGN,” read the statement, signed by chapters in Philadelphia, Chicago, New Jersey, San Diego, Denver, Oklahoma City and Washington, D.C., among others.
You’d think BLM would at least try to act like they’re concerned with their own folks. Clean up dumpy crime filled neighborhoods, hand out their own free stuff, etc...
Lol. They push for free stuff and entitlement. They have no concern with bettering neighborhoods, funding their own folks, etc... Their definition of socioeconomic change is burn it down, looting, violence, etc... It’s why they’re not taken seriously.

BLM...burn, loot, pillage and then collect enough money to buy a home in a White neighborhood

The local chapters never saw a penny of those donations. That why the BLM riots have stopped, plus the election is over. Since Floyd, other black men have been killed in confrontation with, or in custody of the police. But no protests from BLM. They were one of the Democrats' campaign strategies.
That's the org, not the movement. The org took advantage of the movement.
And still not taken seriously due to their thug actions.
