Unless you are co-founder Patrisse Khan-Cullors who earlier this year bought four homes\u00a0 in the United States totaling over $3 million, including a secluded home in Los Angeles that has gates and security fences all around it. Khan-Cullors was also reported to have been looking into property in the Bahamas that range in prices from $5 million to $20 million.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Black Lives Matter fails to understand is that many white owned businesses employ African-Americans along with other minorities. The people who are hurt the most in boycotts such as these are the entry-level and mid-level employees, who will miss out on end of year bonuses and commissions made on sales because of the boycotts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Photo Cred: Noah Berger\/ AP Images<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by William Hekman The national wing of the radical group Black Lives Matter is pushing for a boycott of \u201cwhite companies\u201d until New Year\u2019s Day.
