Patrisse Cullors, a co-founder of Black Lives Matter, told interviewer Marc Lamont Hill on Thursday that there is no contradiction between her radical left-wing politics and owning four homes because she is providing for her extended family.
In the interview, on Black News Tonight, Hill asked Cullors (also known as Khan-Cullors, after spouse Janaya Khan) about the truth of reports that she had bought four homes since 2016 — including a $1.4 million compound in the remote Topanga Canyon neighborhood of L.A. and a vacation home with an airplane hangar in Georgia — and that she and her spouse had considered buying exclusive property in the Bahamas also.
The reports prompted criticism from within the Black Lives Matter movement, and questions about her source of funds.
She replied that “never taken a salary from the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation,” and that she had other sources of income from her work as a college professor, as a TV producer, an author, and a YouTube content creator.
