CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MARCH 18, 2022
REMEMBER WHEN BLACK LIVES MATTER WAS A SLOGAN YOU HAD TO SUPPORT, OR YOU WERE A RACIST? VIRTUE SIGNALERS WHO HEADED TOP CORPORATIONS DONATED MONEY TO THE ORGANIZATION, HOPING THEY MIGHT BE SPARED THE ALL-PURPOSE RACIST LABEL.
NOW TWO BLM LEADERS IN BOSTON HAVE BEEN HIT WITH AN 18-PAGE INDICTMENT FOR FRAUD AND CONSPIRACY. MONICA CANNON-GRANT AND HER HUSBAND, CLARK GRANT, ARE ACCUSED OF DEFRAUDING A LARGE SUM OUT OF OVER $1 MILLION IN GRANTS AND DONATIONS GIVEN TO THEIR NONPROFIT.
THIS ISN’T THE FIRST TIME LEADERS OF BLACK LIVES MATTER HAVE BEEN CHARGED WITH MISAPPROPIATING MONEY. LAST YEAR, BLM CO-FOUNDER PATRICE CULLORS RESIGNED HER POSITION AFTER BEING ACCUSED OF LIVING AN EXTRAVAGANT LIFESTYLE, INCLUDING FIRST CLASS AIR TRAVEL AND VACATIONING IN LUXURIOUS HOT SPOTS.
THERE SHOULD BE SEVERAL LESSONS LEARNED FROM THIS. FIRST, IF YOU DONATE TO A CHARITY, MAKE SURE YOU CHECK THE BACKGROUND OF THE LEADERSHIP AND RECORD OF THE NONPROFIT.
SECOND, DON’T MAKE A DONATION IF YOUR MOTIVATION IS TO PROTECT YOURSELF, YOUR COMPANY, OR VIRTUE SIGNALING. BLACK LIVES DO MATTER. BLM DOESN’T. I’M CAL THOMAS.
