Black Lives Matter cashes in with $100 million from liberal foundations
For all its talk of being a street uprising, Black Lives Matter is increasingly awash in cash, raking in pledges of more than $100 million from liberal foundations and others eager to contribute to what has become the grant-making cause du jour.
The Ford Foundation and Borealis Philanthropy recently announced the formation of the Black-Led Movement Fund [BLMF], a six-year pooled donor campaign aimed at raising $100 million for the Movement for Black Lives coalition.
That funding comes in addition to more than $33 million in grants to the Black Lives Matter movement from top Democratic Party donor George Soros through his Open Society Foundations, as well as grant-making from the Center for American Progress.
“The BLMF provides grants, movement building resources, and technical assistance to organizations working advance the leadership and vision of young, Black, queer, feminists and immigrant leaders who are shaping and leading a national conversation about criminalization, policing and race in America,” said the Borealis announcement.
In doing so, however, the foundations have aligned themselves with the staunch left-wing platform of the Movement for Black Lives, which unveiled a policy agenda shortly after the fund was announced accusing Israel of being an “apartheid state” guilty of “genocide.”

The money is going to creating our new 21st century black bourgeoisie class.
This new one is not compromised of the descendants of reconstruction era doctors, lawyers and other black professionals though.
They are made of education/sociology/gender studies degrees that have low return of investment.
Liberal Whites have bought them with donations (Grants, crowd funding etc), and non-profit tax deferrals.
Someone should make a compare and contrast with the Old Guard black bourgeoisie.
We are seeing history repeat itself with the same end goal of controlling the black masses.

all you gotta do is read their website and smell the jig a mile away
and what makes it dangerous is the popular phrase is the same as the group name
people say BLM and don't know who they're giving power to....majority of black folks truly don't know what this group stand for

Real activism on a national level is completely dead now. I look at the real activists on the ground in my community here in Philadelphia (and other places) and I see how much their struggling to make ends meet while trying to making real change. The truth is, Black only agendas don't get funding or support unless their compromised by forces outside of the community looking to capitalize on our collective condition. Politicians, businessmen etc have too much lose to address the widespread inequality that exists. Too many people depend on black dysfunction for their financial success. It's important to them that we don't get our collective shyt together.

I agree. You look at those big donors and philanthropists (white of course) and unless you fit their agendas, they're not trying to fund black nationalism. A hungry man gotta eat right?
Exactly. That's why I don't believe in the concept of allies. No ally is going to bolster you economically to compete with them. No outside group is going to give you anything without strings attached that benefit them. But too many of us would rather beg whites to change so we can avoid the work of building our own because on a mental level many of us are afraid to compete and we don't want to admit it. I have conversations all the time with people about gaining power to change things and I always notice people's passivity and timidness in acquiring it (especially black men).
It's hard to fight for your community when you struggle to acquire the basic necessities for survival (food, shelter, water). When you look back at some of the most influential leaders and movements of the day, so many of them struggled to keep going because they lacked resources. Garvey, MLK, Malcolm, Amos Wilson, and many others died penniless. And sometimes I feel as though they died for nothing because we are currently making the same mistakes they did decades ago.
