"You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the
villain." That's a quote from the movie The Dark Knight. The superhero
film (widely considered the best ever in its genre) was released in 2008.

Yet this quote is directly applicable to the current quagmire in which
Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors finds herself. Once
considered heroes of the country, revelations about inappropriate BLM
spending, by her in particular, have made many skeptical about the organization’s true intentions.

Cullors claimed the group was overwhelmed with the millions in "white
guilt money" after corporations and individuals opened their wallets
during the 2020 riots after the killing of George Floyd. She blamed her frivolous spending on a lack of company infrastructure. But that is
completely bogus. She just needed an excuse because she got caught. She
used the term "white guilt," but in reality, she could have said something
more like "black entitlement," but that isn't fair either. This was all on
her. She can't claim that she did it because of race.

It was personal entitlement that led Cullors to believe she could use
millions in donations on herself. She felt entitled to this money because
of the country's past racism against black people. It didn't matter
whether the donations were for the group's stated causes or whether she
was so personally affected by historic injustices (if at all) as to
deserve the money.

In 2020, BLM was the political activist equivalent of America's
sweetheart, capable of doing no wrong. It was a grassroots organization on
a crusade for social justice, advancing the repeatedly disproven and
debunked narrative that police are wantonly shooting and killing black
people because of racism.

As a result, the group received more than $90 million in donations. A
little over a year later, it would be revealed that Cullors didn't use
these funds to help the people whom the group was claiming needed it most. Instead, she used it to elevate herself, friends, and family members to affluence.

After repeatedly trying to blame "racism" and "white supremacy" for the criticisms justly leveled at her, Cullors then claimed she made "mistakes"
with the money. She sort of apologized.

"I'm a human being that has made mistakes that want to change, want to challenge those mistakes and want to learn from those mistakes," she said
in an interview earlier this week. "And I think what's been hard is
feeling like there isn't room and space for that."

But she is not really sorry for her spending — she is just sorry she got caught.

A "mistake" is when you tap someone's bumper while parallel parking or
split an infinitive or commit a math error or misspell the word "yield."
Buying a mansion, or multiple mansions, is not a "mistake." Lucrative
contracts aren’t given to family members because of some mere oversight.
That involves extensive planning. Anyone could excuse some accidental
errors or unintentional, incorrect tax filings. Cullors knew what she was doing; she just didn't care. Her choices were predicated on entitlement
and greed.

Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
fiasco, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the

President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed dozens of judges and three SCOTUS justices.
