Patrisse Cullors, a co-founder of Black Lives Matter and a self-described Marxist, blasted the American housing market as a bastion of &#8220;white supremacy&#8221; just weeks after splashing out millions on a real estate portfolio, snagging four high-end homes worth an estimated $3.2 million.
Cullors shared snippets from a National Public Radio documentary last week detailing the historical &#8220;racism&#8221; of the American housing market and suggesting that black homeownership &#8212; presumably including her own &#8212; was a way to &#8220;disrupt&#8221; white supremacy.
&#8220;Thank you @npr for highlighting the history of racism inside of the housing market and why Black homeownership has always been a way to disrupt white supremacy,&#8221; Cullors wrote on social media, sharing a link to the documentary.
The documentary, &#8220;We Hold These Truths,&#8221; the Daily Mail noted Sunday, addressed issues of structural racism within the American housing market and &#8220;looked at how black people have been systematically discriminated against by the real estate industry and government policy over decades,&#8221; and how black homeownership appears to have stagnated over the decades, despite significant efforts on the part of the federal government to press the issue and subsidize black home buyers.
&#8220;The report &#8211; which focuses on the experiences of black people living in Compton, California, revealed that just 41.8 percent of black households owned their homes. that rate is almost identical to the black homeownership level 50 years ago, in the early 70s,&#8221; the Daily Mail noted. &#8220;Experts say reasons for the lower homeownership rate ranges from historic underemployment and low wages to a recession-related foreclosure crisis that hit black communities particularly hard.&#8221;
Cullors may have cited the documentary in order to defend her own real estate portfolio and a home &#8220;buying binge,&#8221; which, as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/blm-co-founder-buys-1-4-million-home-in-virtually-all-white-area-black-commentators-slam-her">The Daily Wire reported</a>, saw the longtime racial justice advocate snapping up at least four homes worth a collective $3.2 million and reportedly exploring vacation property in an exclusive, private community in the Caribbean that caters to A-list Hollywood celebrities.
Cullors faced criticism from both conservatives, who called the self-described Marxist a hypocrite for so fully embracing the concept of private property, and from leftists, who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fraud-blm-co-founder-patrisse-cullors-blasted-over-real-estate-buying-binge">blasted Cullors as a &#8220;fraud</a>&#8221; for purchasing a $1.4 million home in a nearly all-white neighborhood near Los Angeles, California, and who pointed out that the national Black Lives Matter organization, which took in nearly $90 million just last year, has been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/local-blm-chapters-accuse-national-foundation-of-hiding-untold-millions-of-dollars-in-donations-from-grassroots-activists">accused of &#8220;hiding&#8221; finances</a>, and of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/family-of-mike-brown-ferguson-protest-organizers-demand-20-million-from-black-lives-matter">failing to support black families</a> who lost children in police-related shootings, inspiring BLM&#8217;s national crusade.
The BLM co-founder previously defended her real estate buying binge as necessary to support the cause of racial justice.
“Sure, and I think that is a critique that is, um, wanting, and I say that because, um, the, the way that I live my life is in direct support to black people, including my black family members, first and foremost,” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/marxist-blm-co-founder-rejects-accusations-of-real-estate-buying-binge-hypocrisy-saying-i-have-a-child">Cullors said in an interview with Marc Lamont Hill last month</a>. “And, for so many black folks who are able to invest in themselves and their community, they choose to invest in their family, and that’s what I have chosen to do. I have a child, I have a brother that has severe mental illness who I take care of, I support my mother, and I support many other family members of mine.&#8221;

BLM Co-Founder Patrisse Cullors Rails Against &#039;White Supremacist&#039; Housing Market Weeks After Splashing Out Millions On Real Estate

Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO), during a speech on the floor of the House of Representatives on Thursday, praised a Black Lives Matter activist who previously called for the death of police officers.
The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/05/15/cori-bush-compares-ferguson-shooting-to-gaza-conflict/">reported</a> that Bush brought up Palestinian-American activist Bassem Masri, who, after the 2014 police shooting of Ferguson, Missouri, teenager Michael Brown Jr., would stream himself berating police officers outside the Ferguson Police Department as part of protests.
“I’m praying for your death and your death and your death and your death,” he reportedly said in one video, according to the Post.
Masri also tweeted incendiary comments regarding police officers, including “Pigs in a blanket, fry ’em like bacon,” which was repeated as a chant by other protesters. Several police officers have been killed following anti-police rhetoric from Black Lives Matter and supportive politicians.
Masri died in 2018, before the most recent wave of Black Lives Matter riots.
Bush mentioned Masri in a speech comparing the Black Lives Matter movement to the current conflict in the West Bank.
&#8220;As a Palestinian, he was ready to resist, to rebel, to rise up with us as our St. Louis community mourned Mike Brown, Jr.’s state sanctioned murder, and as we demanded an end to the militarized police occupation of our communities,&#8221; Bush said Thursday, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/cori-bush-praises-blm-activist-who-wished-death-on-police-officers-fry-em-like-bacon">according to Fox News</a>. &#8220;Palestinians know what state violence, militarized policing, and occupation of their communities look like.&#8221;
&#8220;So, when heavily militarized police forces showed up in Ferguson in 2014, Bassem and so many others of our St. Louis Palestinian community, our Palestinian siblings showed up too,&#8221; Bush continued.
On Twitter, Bush further <a href="https://twitter.com/RepCori/status/1392991612364591107">compared</a> Black Lives Matter to the current conflict in the West Bank.
“The fight for Black lives and the fight for Palestinian liberation are interconnected. We oppose our money going to fund militarized policing, occupation, and systems of violent oppression and trauma. We are anti-war. We are anti-occupation. And we are anti-apartheid. Period,” she wrote, ignoring the role the terrorist group Hamas and Palestinian authorities have played in the conflict.
This happens every time a conflict between Israel and Palestine arises. Politicians like Bush blame Israel and portray Palestinians as nothing but victims. Hamas and Palestinian authorities hide weapons in civilian areas, killing civilians when they are launched. Meanwhile, Israel goes out of its way to announce its attacks to give civilians time to evacuate in order to minimize casualties.
Yet, politicians like Bush insist Israel is in the wrong.
In addition to wishing death upon cops, Masri also yelled at a police officer: &#8220;Coward straight pig out here b&#8212;! You gotta go. Your life is in danger homie” and asked, “What happens when we take your gun?&#8221;
Masri also insisted that, because he and others were angry, police should automatically accept they are in the wrong. He <a href="https://fox2now.com/news/fox-files/one-mans-protests-push-police-to-the-limit/">told</a> a local Fox affiliate, &#8220;If the citizen is pissed, you don’t look at the citizen and say ‘oh he’s bad, he’s a terrorist’ you look at the police and say ‘how come this man is mad at y’all’.&#8221;
