BLM is a good gig.

Heh, sent me down an hour-long Jason Whitlock rabbit hole.

So here is a story about one of the founds of Black Lives Matter, Patrisse Khan-Cullors, has made some rather eye-opening real estate purchases. Apparently, she
...went on a real estate buying binge, snagging four high-end homes for $3.2 million in the US alone, according to property records.
[She] also eyed property in the Bahamas at an ultra-exclusive resort where Justin Timberlake and Tiger Woods both have homes...Luxury apartments and townhouses at the beachfront Albany resort outside Nassau are priced between $5 million and $20 million, according to a local agent.
[She also] last month purchased a $1.4 million home on a secluded road a short drive from Malibu in Los Angeles, according to a report...The Topanga Canyon homestead, which includes two houses on a quarter-acre, is just one of three homes Khan-Cullors owns in the Los Angeles area, public records show.
You guys do political comedy, right? You guys like going after the rich and famous, right? You guys pride yourself on speaking truth to power, right? Well then, I can't figure out why none of you have yet to mention this. I mean, just look at it: a social justice activist, a self-described Marxist, has just spent millions of dollars on real estate, and not only that, most of them are in neighborhoods you guys would no doubt describe as "lily-white" if the buyer here was, say, Tucker Carlson or Ivanka Trump.This a double bacon cheeseburger of hypocrisy here. While claiming to be all about social justice and against oppression, when presented with the opportunity, Khan-Cullors chooses to spend her money just like the oppressor class.
Isn't that rich? I mean, SHE'S certainly rich. But the situation she has put herself in, how ripe for comedy is that? Of course, BLM denies that they're paying her any kind of a salary, which makes you wonder where she's getting her money from, but that's something for another day. The point is, can't you see what you've got here? This is not a big, fat, slow hanging curve ball lazily drifting across the plate with a "HIT ME!" sticky-note attached to it, it's even better. It's a big plastic whiffle ball propped up in one of those T-ball stands, not moving, just sitting there, all fat and juicy, waiting for one of your writers to step right up and knock it out of the park.
Because you're all about showing how stunning and brave you are, right? Bold, fearless comedy that challenges dominant power structures and subverts our expectations, right? Oh, and I almost forgot, transgresses traditional boundaries. Did I do that right? I don't speak the language naturally, but hopefully this makes sense.
So I can't wait to see what you do with this, as pulling the rug out from wealthy, privileged, hypocritical entitled loudmouths is what you like to do. Because, as her real estate buying binge shows, it would be harder to find a more wealthy, privileged, hypocritical entitled loudmouth than Ms. Patrisse Khan-Cullors.
Right?

PS -- If you're having trouble coming up with anything to make fun of, just think of how you'd be reacting if this were Ron DeSantis or Marjorie Taylor Green. I think you'd find enough material to last for several weeks at least.

Anybody who so much as remodels their home or even just goes out to an expensive dinner is guilty of a moral sin if they think that money could have helped another person more than it helped themselves. But we're not interested in thinking that deeply, we're interested in making the right noises to increase our own status.
