Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors said that when $90 million in “white guilt money” came pouring into the organization’s coffers after the murder of George Floyd, the group had no infrastructure in place to handle the flood of cash — and now the mistakes made are being “weaponized” against her.
“This was an investment,” she said. “It’s not my personal real estate.

“It was a major shock,” Cullors said of the sudden influx of cash. “That was a lot of white guilt money. There’s a lot of white folks being like, ‘We just got to put the money.’ “
