After reports that a $1.4 million home in a secluded area of Los
Angeles whose population is reputedly less than 2% black was sold to
one of the founders of the Black Lives Matter movement, some black
conservative commentators took her to task.
On Wednesday, dirt.com reported, “A secluded mini-compound tucked into
L.A.’s rustic and semi-remote Topanga Canyon was recently sold for a
tad more than $1.4 million to a corporate entity that public records
show is controlled by Patrisse Khan-Cullors, 37-year-old social justice visionary and co-founder of the galvanizing and, for some,
controversial Black Lives Matter movement.”
Outkick’s Jason Whitlock commented, “Black Lives Matter founder buys
$1.4 million home in Topanga, which has a black population of 1.4%.
She’s with her people!”

Jamil Jivani, the founder of the Policing Literacy Initiative, echoed,
“I can’t believe how badly some people got played by BLM. Wow.”
In January, as The Daily Wire reported, Whitlock described Black Lives
Matter and Antifa as being similar to the Ku Klux Klan because they
acted as the modern-day “enforcement arm” of the Democratic Party.
Fox News host Tucker Carlson asked Whitlock, “You mentioned the BLM
movement that really kind of took over a lot of the country, funded by
our most powerful corporations over the summer. That is a political
movement. Put it in context for us. What would you compare that to?”
“Well, I compare Black Lives Matter to the KKK. I really do,” Whitlock answered. “And some people don’t understand it, but if you go back to
the 1860s, after the Emancipation Proclamation, the KKK was started,
and it was the enforcement arm of the Democratic Party. And what’s the enforcement arm of the Democratic Party right now? Black Lives Matter
and Antifa. They will come to your home and violate your home, try to intimidate the people in your home if they disagree with you
politically.”
“Black Lives Matter [is] a Marxist organization,” Whitlock continued.
“Marxism is hostile towards religion; that’s why I’m glad you went
there today. These are atheist values being expressed from our leaders, demonizing individual citizens here in America, branding them as white supremacists because they decided, because we disagree with their
opinion about something. This is lunacy. And it’s dangerous.”
Whitlock has frequently pushed back on left-wing racial rhetoric. In
April 2019, Whitlock blasted veteran NBA player Kyle Korver, who
published a lengthy article in which he spoke of race relations while
issuing an apology for his “white privilege,” writing:
The fact that black Americans are more than five times as
likely to be incarcerated as white Americans is wrong. The
fact that black Americans are more than twice as likely to
live in poverty as white Americans is wrong. The fact that
black unemployment rates nationally are double that of overall
unemployment rates is wrong. The fact that black imprisonment
rates for drug charges are almost six times higher nationally
than white imprisonment rates for drug charges is wrong. The
fact that black Americans own approximately one-tenth of the
wealth that white Americans own is wrong. The fact that
inequality is built so deeply into so many of our most trusted
institutions is wrong. And I believe it’s the responsibility
of anyone on the privileged end of those inequalities to help
make things right.
Whitlock responded, “Korver’s piece was at best a surface-level
buzzword critique of the American criminal justice system; at worst, it
was a condescending misguided bigotry that argued white men such as
Korver must take on the burden of feeling very, very sorry for black
people and a responsibility of uplifting us from dire circumstances.”
