Companies and corporations pledged or contributed an astonishing $82.9 billion to the BLM movement and related causes. This includes more than $123 million to the BLM parent organizations directly. These figures, while shocking, likely underrepresent the true magnitude of the shakedown as some companies failed to make known their contributions, and many BLM organizations remain unknown.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">As a point of reference, $82.9 billion is more than the GDP of 46 African countries. In 2022, the\u00a0Ford\u00a0Motor Company&#8217;s profits were $23 billion.<\/p>\n<p>You can access the <a href=\"https:\/\/dc.claremont.org\/\">Claremont Institute\u2019s<\/a> massive database of contributors <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dc.claremont.org\/blm-funding-database\/\">here<\/a><\/strong> (\u201cBLM Funding Database\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>I see that JP Morgan Chase has committed $30 billion to associated causes, such as the creation of low-cost housing for \u201cunderserved communities.\u201d So there may be some debate over the meaning of \u201cassociated causes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But you would think $80 billion is solving many problems of the underserved, who are definitely being SERVED with this money. However, you would be wrong, if you look at what\u2019s happening in America\u2019s inner cities.
