I do not trust these guys after watching this interview. They would not answer the question about how much money they have. They just offered word salad.
These are con artists who came into the picture over the past few years & have seized control of the funds that was donated to the BLM orgs that make up Black Lives Matter Grassroots
BLMGNF raises money in our area and we have yet to see anything even after occupying the Robert e Lee monument for 2 years … to its eventual demise and removal… not a dime from BLMGNF…. We are now a grassroots chapter because they have embraced our efforts
I'm not impressed. Roland asked them what are you are doing, what have you done..i.e tell who you gave too but all they talked about was the organization's pillars. Plus, a board member is being paid instead of hiring a new consultant to replace the board member - that aint hard. They need someone with deep-deep non-profit expertise and business sense to clear up all this mess.
@@prettyflower01 during the protests this BLM org that they rep which is the one founded by Garza and Colours took in almost 100 mil. There has been plenty of controversy over where the money went such as to pay for mansions etc. They also brought in this white firm to help manage the money. Chapters didn't want to be chapters anymore after they felt they helped push the name and profile but weren't receiving any of the donation money. So now they are saying the white company they got involved with is trying to take a chunk of the money. Surprise surprise.
These particular people have been known for stealing money, credit, and social contacts, from actual revolutionaries in the streets. These two people, and especially Shalomia Bowers, hijacked the movement to become rich, and live lavish lifestyles. It’s funny to listen to crooks complaining about getting robbed.
It's an approach that embraces decaceration ( looking more at a restorative justice model) and not a police state. Also, part of it embraced defunding the Police. I do agree it could be explained better.
Lmao because all of it is a scam. Because was it just me but neither one of these individuals answer one of Rolands questions when it came about what are they doing. How you don't know how much money you have at this time but you know every form number.
Hmmmmm..... no sir. It is a conflict of interest to be a board member and also have a company that is affected by decisions that the board make. Why can't black people get it right? Gees
@aishaokay I missed that, but nothing is a worse answer because that means they are getting paid on the back in which probably explains why they cut off from the money.
Show us pictures of a neighborhood before and what the neighbors looked like after you upgraded it. Interview the people you remodeled their homes. Vidios are priceless.
BLM Grassroots is doing the same work as before 2020. We don’t need money to fight. Money would make life easier, but these two thieves are complaining about being robbed, while the money is finally going to the people actually doing the work.
🗣️ with all due respect, we don’t care if they don’t get none of the money we’ve heard what they’ve been doing with the money or is that a different Black Lives Matter group what they want the money for so they can go buy another house what they want the money for so they can go pay some more relatives to do some work
@@soar1091 I don’t sound crazy you sound uninformed that’s what you sound like some black guppy just going along with the get along no more money for Black Lives Matter
The fact that they said they are trying to legitimise the organisation should have made Roland stop and be like “what do you mean by that?” Bunch of scammers.
I don’t see a problem as long as the board member contract remains the same prior to joining the board but the house thing idk…invite only? Seems like should be at least a place to receive ppl and have a informal area to display what the mission is not just oh a place to think bish shit up
This is my first time hearing about this $6 mil house and for them to be the ones to explain it. It sound like a scam. Money that can't be applied for because there's no process & a house the can't be use because there's no process.
38:28 this interview was the worst idea ever! You can hire lawyers to make sure Chilomi is not self dealing 😖 but you can’t hire lawyers to deal with your TIDES situation?! 🫨 Why are you doing this interview to complain about TIDES?! We can’t do anything about that 😠
I do not trust these guys after watching this interview. They would not answer the question about how much money they have. They just offered word salad.
You are correct not to trust them because they are fraudulent hijackers and thieves who stole the identity of BLM BLM Grassroots.
These are con artists who came into the picture over the past few years & have seized control of the funds that was donated to the BLM orgs that make up Black Lives Matter Grassroots

ROLAND THESE TWO ARE QUESTIONABLE
They're con artists
This is ridiculous and embarrassing
They should be tapping in to you Roland, you should be a board member.
I wonder if the other 2 board members also have businesses that are getting paid by the foundation? 🤔
I'm not impressed. Roland asked them what are you are doing, what have you done..i.e tell who you gave too but all they talked about was the organization's pillars.

Not trusting these two people she seem very Suspicious
They're con artists
I'm not crying about it. These orgs raised all this money in the name of black folks and have not done right by the people.
U are a clown. That's not what happened. As a matter of fact, name the originals?
Which one? Multiple BLMs

This is all one word. MESSY
She keep saying abolitionist and I have no idea what that means in today's context.

It sounds like they separated themselves from the working chapters, while they hold the moneybag. Messy!
Yes
Latinos for Trump 2024 out of San Francisco! Que Viva! Si se puede!

Expand the damn Board and get the Vendor off your Board PERIOD
They said they're ready to go solo having obtained their own 501 c3 tax exempt status; they just can't get their money back from them.
They must be running out of money
Did you hear them say that they can't access their own money because Tide is holding the purse strings?
Hmmmmm..... no sir. It is a conflict of interest to be a board member and also have a company that is affected by decisions that the board make. Why can't black people get it right? Gees
He does not have a firm … bowers consulting firm is owned by Lawrence West our lead in Richmond VA
Fight the power
Jay Morrison play book
I wish he had asked how much they are paying themselves, since we all know nonprofit work is a good hustle for many people.
He did they said nothing which is another DUMB answer

I cannot. Sounds like a complete shell game with rigged outcomes. Grift of the Century!
Things get “messy” when you have people stealing money to buy houses for themselves and friends and family. 😂
Can you substantiate the allegation?

Fam, get your $hit together!
Crooks robbing crooks
Sthu unless u have proof
BLM is a scam. Can you dig-it bro?
@@soar1091look at the fruit. Their tree is barren. Their words are hollow
Sadly, it’s hard to know what BLM is doing for the community at this point.
Nothing but getting paid
BLM Grassroots is doing the same work as before 2020. We don’t need money to fight. Money would make life easier, but these two thieves are complaining about being robbed, while the money is finally going to the people actually doing the work.
I am still not clear of what they do ? I hear the words but where’s the action . I believe they’re not yet organized fully
🗣️ with all due respect, we don’t care if they don’t get none of the money we’ve heard what they’ve been doing with the money or is that a different Black Lives Matter group what they want the money for so they can go buy another house what they want the money for so they can go pay some more relatives to do some work
U sound crazy

I wouldn't give them a dime

Scott stfu , are u even black?
HE DID NOT ANSWER U HOW MUCH MONEY THEY GOT
I heard them say that Tide will not give them an accounting of their financial status after many requests.

Roland please pull on this thread. This is a huge issue with nonprofits.
Scammers
38:44 your solutions should be on the UP AND UP, no matter how long or short term the solutions are
Roland going soft on them. IF this was black Republican for blacks he would go HAM on them. He would be cursing by now lol
