I wonder how many people who have given money to BLM are capable of admitting they got scammed.
Black Lives Matter defended the group’s secretive purchase of a swanky, $5.8 million Southern California home with donated funds, vowing to “increase transparency” — while still providing little detail about the eyebrow-raising acquisition.
“There have been a lot of questions surrounding recent reports about the purchase of Creator’s House in California,” BLM said Monday in its official Twitter account.
“Despite past efforts, BLMGNF recognizes that there is more work to do to increase transparency and ensure transitions in leadership are clear,” added the left-wing social justice group, which turned off replies to its tweets.

The embattled organization used part of its $90 million donation windfall to purchase the lavish digs, according to the explosive report.
Property records obtained by The Post confirm that the SoCal mansion was purchased by Dyane Pascall, a local real estate developer with links to BLM, in a deal that closed Oct. 27, 2020.
Days later, it was transferred to a Delaware limited liability company controlled by the foundation for $5.8 million, the records show.

But Cullors and her colleagues didn’t reveal any details on the upscale home seen behind them in the video.
Cullors slammed New York magazine’s report on Instagram last Tuesday, calling it a “despicable abuse of a platform that’s intended to provide information to the public.”

BLM also sought to justify the purchase by arguing that it was made to encourage “Black creativity,” saying it is “necessary and vital to Black survival.”
