The beleaguered Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation has been kicked off Amazon’s charity platform for its failure to disclose where tens of millions in donations it received nearly two years ago have ended up. AmazonSmile, which gives a portion of eligible purchases on the online shopping site to charities, said it “had to temporarily suspend” the group today, an Amazon spokesperson told The Post. “States have rules for nonprofits, and organizations participating in AmazonSmile need to meet those rules,” the spokesperson said. “Unfortunately this organization fell out of compliance with the rules in several states, so we’ve had to temporarily suspend them from the program until

BLM was always evil and greedy. But it served the Demon-Rats well when it was needed.
Now that it is a liability, BLM is under the Demon-Rat bus!!!

OH NO!
Does that mean that more cities are going to burn down?
Or maybe, Amazon buildings and vehicles?
Or a few of the homes owned by the former leaders of BLM?

Expect BLM to rebrand, just like ACORN did when its corruption was exposed.

BLM funding went to Act Blue which is a democrat money dump. So BLM is actually a front organization for funding democrats. End of story.

Do they still have those Black Lives Matter "murals" painted on the streets in New York and D.C.?

The mystery of the $60 million has been known for some time. Is the real reason that it was made totally clear what the money was being used for when BLM very publicly bailed a murder suspect out of jail in Louisville this week?

Those tens of millions ended up being used in the BLM Luxury Residential Real Estate Investment Department. Where they purchased several lavish estate homes in white wealthy neighborhoods.

Amazon had an epiphany. BLM stole their money and lavished it on themselves and now they're backing out (suposedly).

I don’t trust anything Amazon does. Supporting an organization like BLM in any way is totally irresponsible. The violent and lawless behavior that we all witnessed on the nightly news should have been vigorously condemned but instead it was championed. If BLM ceases to exist or rebrands, be prepared for the same violent unreasonable looting and rioting because that behavior is who they are and and what they do. Furthermore, they know it will be rewarded.

There was never anything charitable about BLM, a wretched Marxist front-group founded in lies.

This movement is over. They had their riots, collected millions from ridiculously stupid corporations and after embezzling what they could until the questions started they have retreated. So now blacks can see who really mattered here.

Other than the founders pocketing millions I have yet to see one charitable thing that BLM has done to help a single downtrodden needy black person. Bailing out black criminals doesn’t count because it directly endangers other blacks and their families.
However, I am suffering some schadenfreude for those famous bigwig ultra-wealthy virtue-signaling CEOs who got completely duped by the BLM scam. Embrace the suck, Bezos.

Will the mayor of D.C. paint over the BLM in the middle of the street and other places? Now the terrorist group just dissolves stealing 10 million dollars then disappears. FBLM

Isn't the BLM part of the Clinton crime family? Seems that news isn't much talked about.

Always wondered why the leader of blm bought all those million dollar mansions in California...guess she needed a place to hide the money...and of course...she's entitled because she's a black woman who was oppressed 100 years ago...not my problem..100 years ago my ancestors lived in Europe ...WE may owe France reparations for the libraries WE burned 1,000 years ago...don't hold your breath France....

OP nails it. Whether it is earmarked for blacks or not, it ends up there. Every piece of clothing, jewelry, athletic shoes, restaurant meals, makeup, a percentage of all of it goes into the cost accounting column labeled "black."

Welcome to the party, Jeff. The virtue signaling was orgasmic, wasn't it? Now you feel a little bit put out. Drained. Like Brig. Gen. Jack. D. Ripper in Dr. Strangelove, you felt "...a profound sense of fatigue... a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily I... I was able to interpret these feelings correctly. Loss of essence." Essence, that's it. BLM got Amazon and Bezos, but good. They won't learn their lesson, neither of them. Next sucker, up!

You know how President Trump often made statements/predictions that the MSM pooh-poohed, and then he was later proven to have been right?
Here's fool Mitt Romney doing the reverse:

I am laughing with great gusto thinking of these idiots who donated to this scam, bought and placed signs on their houses and lawns and bought shirts and other apparel with the BLM logo on it - the old saying: "there's a fool born every minute" surely has a place where this criminal caper is involved - wonder if it wasn't a demcommie and clinton concoction to de-influence our duly elected President, Donald J. Trump, maybe but ... he was always 3 steps ahead of them in any situation that came up while he was President.

When you live on lovely Daniel Island, you sometimes need deliveries besides USPS and FedEx.
Amazon Seattle HQ was honest and apologetic recently, acknowledging an ordered item was ‘still on the truck’ though online was show “Delivered.”
