A co-founder of Black Lives Matter, Patrisse Cullors, has highlighted the “history of racism inside of the housing market,” after making waves for spending millions on homes in predominantly white neighborhoods.
In an Instagram post over the weekend, Cullors praised a National Public Radio report that “highlighted” the history of racism in the US housing market.
As a Christian minister, I’m used to being stifled when I talk about my religion outside of church. If I bring up faith in Jesus Christ, the guardians of the secular public square are quick to inform me that my religion is strictly a private matter.
But these days I’m stifled not because of the religion I practice but because of one I reject: the religion of antiracism, which is now the established church of academia, government, the media and business.
Forget everything you’ve seen about the Black Lives Matter and antifa riots of 2020. The destruction, cracked heads, lasers pointed in cops’ eyes, burned buildings – forget it all. The “summer of love” riots weren’t that bad. That was fake news. Gaslighting. And we know this because the left-wing publication called The Intercept says that accurate riot stories, reported by a small cadre of reporters working for right-of-center publications, don’t really count. Somehow the violence of 2020 was magically less violent because these reporters were the ones who witnessed it and reported it.
The public outcry over the handling of human remains retrieved from the ashes of the deadly 1985 bombing of a Black liberation organization in Philadelphia dramatically escalated on Thursday, with the revelation that the bones of an undisclosed number of Move victims were incinerated and dumped by the city without the knowledge or permission of living relatives.
In a bombshell disclosure, the mayor of Philadelphia, Jim Kenney, announced that he had fired the city’s health commissioner, Thomas Farley. The mayor said that Farley had told him earlier this week that several years ago he had become aware that remains of victims of the Move bombing – in which 11 people died – were still in the possession of the city’s medical examiner’s office.
At his June 25 sentencing hearing, former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin has the right to speak on his own behalf before the judge imposes the sentence. Here is what he might say.
Your honor, police work is a job like no other. Unlike most professionals, when police officers leave home on a night shift, their spouses and children pray that they will come home safe the next morning. They have reason to fear.
Last year alone, 295 American police officers were killed on the job, and many thousands more were injured. Cops run these outsized risks for a variety of reasons, but money is hardly among them. The average cop makes slightly more than a letter carrier but slightly less than a UPS driver.
Thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds took to the streets last year in Frisco, Texas — the most suburban of suburbs — to march in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter slogan. Although some people worried the protests would transform into rioting, thankfully, the march remained peaceful. Unfortunately, it also proved to be rather pointless.
Andrew Brown Jr. had a decades-long history of violent confrontations with police, including a 2016 incident during which he fought officers and was tasered, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.
The black dad-of-seven – who was shot dead last month when sheriff’s deputies surrounded his car in Elizabeth City, North Carolina – had a rap sheet dating back to his teens and spent at least eight stints behind bars.
Court documents seen by DailyMail.com reveal he faced more than 100 charges over three decades, ranging from misdemeanors for breaking and entering, making threats and assault with a deadly weapon, to six felony drug convictions.
A 15-year-old girl in Washington DC pleaded guilty to the murder of an Uber Eats delivery driver, whose car she stole and crashed, killing him as he fought.
The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, pleaded guilty to the March 23 murder on May 5, a court spokesman told The Washington Post on Tuesday.
In return for pleading guilty to murder, other charges – armed carjacking, robbery and aggravated reckless driving – were dropped.
When the politics of race come into play, black lives cease to matter.
Black men are systemically shot and killed in New York City and no one seems to care because the triggers aren’t pulled by cops. If you say discussing this is a distraction from racism, you do it from atop a lot of graves. And how can anyone say that doesn’t matter?
The context is that New York City saw its bloodiest week in late April, with 46 separate shooting incidents, a 300 percent surge from the same week in 2020. These shootings were part of a 205 percent overall increase in shootings in NYC in 2020, the bloodiest toll since 1996. The body count continued to rise in early May.
Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors, who describes herself as a “trained Marxist” while also owning four homes in high-end neighborhoods worth more than $3.2 million, celebrated comparisons of the American left-wing movement to the deadly Chinese Cultural Revolution orchestrated by Mao Zedong.
Former first lady Michelle Obama said on Friday’s broadcast of “CBS This Morning” that people take to the street in Black Lives Matter protests because they had to.
When former Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin was convicted of the murder of George Floyd, former President Barack and Michelle Obama said in a joint statement, “true justice is about much more than a single verdict in a single trial.”
Patrisse Cullors, the co-founder and executive director of Black Lives Matter’s national arm, has funneled business to a company led by a man she identified as the father of her only child, a Daily Caller News Foundation review of business records, interviews and social media posts found.

Last year we had the distinct pleasure of covering the Autonomous Zone set up by antifa in Seattle called CHAZ—and then CHOP and then CHAZ/CHOP or something. It was awesome. We were treated to a real-time socialism experiment that failed miserably. The raping and robbing started almost immediately. There was a warlord and police were replaced with street thugs with guns. Remember the garden? I don’t think I’ve laughed that hard since. Marxists might be violent and dangerous but they’re also hilariously unskilled and most likely will die quickly in a real emergency.
A federal grand jury has indicted the four former Minneapolis police officers involved in George Floyd’s arrest and murder, accusing them of violating the Black man’s constitutional rights as he was restrained face-down on the pavement and gasping for air, according to indictments unsealed on Friday.
The three-count indictment on civil rights charges names Derek Chauvin, Thomas Lane, J Kueng and Tou Thao.
Dramatic video of an armed standoff in Portland, Oregon has been shared widely on Twitter. It shows a group of protesters aiming their guns at a pistol-wielding motorist before tackling and disarming him at a blocked intersection.
In the 28-second clip, the armed group aims at the driver of a red truck and tells him to put his “f**king gun down!” The video then skips to a later moment in the confrontation in which the driver gets out of the vehicle and is surrounded.
