I do sincerely hope you get well soon after your lobotomy. Maybe the cerebrum will grow again soon.
A successful person who preaches anti capitalism, buys into capitalism. A Black Lives Matter leader from the same poor background of those she preaches for, move into a wealthy white area. I would say hypocrisy is the problem, wouldn't you?
"Wherever Black people are, in America, criminalisation exists. Whenever there is a white dominated space, deep racism exists as well." Patrisse Cullors.

You must have been listening outside my window. I have just said the same thing to someone else. If everyone around you is absolutely corrupt - then it is easier to join them. Perhaps people who are honest are the fools in this day and age.

Where do you expect her to live without "buying into capitalism". If she rented instead of buying is that also not "buying into capitalism"?
Perhaps she shouldn't buy food or clothes in shops as that is also "buying into capitalism". None of us have any choice other than to buy into capitalism in a capitalist world even if you don't agree with it.
Why is it a white area? Why should it remain so?
Should a black best selling writer with a film deal remain in a poor predominantly black area all her life?
You can be successful and still fight the cause of those worse off than you've become.

Are you insinuating that her earnings are somehow illegally obtained, or do you believe in the Mail mindset that any campaigner must remain in the circumstances he/she originally came from.
Tory rags claim to praise those who are successful, clearly this comes with the caveat, you must not be black, you must not campaign for the less fortunate, you must only have moderate success.

BLM is not a single organisation but even if it was do all campaigners have to be poor? Mrs Pankhurst might disagree.

Don't open your front door to strangers you will be so easy to scam:
The head of New York City's Black Lives Matter chapter is calling for an independent investigation into the organization's finances after it was revealed a co-founder snapped up a $1.4 million home in a ritzy Los Angeles neighborhood , her fourth large property in the past four years.
Patrisse Cullors, 37, who is a co-founder of BLM and self-professed 'trained Marxist', recently purchased a plush property in Topanga Canyon complete with a separate guest house and an expansive back yard.
In Topanga Canyon, 88 per cent of residents are white and just 1.8 per cent are black, according to the census.

EVERY event, every new concept, is to do with money these days, and everything to do with money involves corruption. Sadly, people have lost the idea of being satisfied and happy, instead they erroneously believe that money is the answer for everything. Every Tom, Dick and Harry have jumped on the greed band wagon, and there are now a huge number of wealthy, but very miserable people around.

and that has what to do with BLM and prejudice against someone just because of their skin colour.
Are you saying they shouldn't live there because of their skin colour? Or they should not have enough money to live there? Seems a very odd argument to put forward and kind of sums up why we have footballers taking the knee etc.
It's nothing to do with money, but to do with peoples actions and judgments toward someone purely because of the colour of their skin.
Kind of JUST like what you are doing.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to prove by posting a different version of what you originally posted. My response isn't going to be any different.
Anyway, for balance, I'm looking forward to your similar critique of white "men of the people" Nigel Farage and Tommy Robinson.
