Twitter locked sports columnist Jason Whitlock’s account over the weekend for scrutinizing a new, $1.4 million home purchased by a founder of the Black Lives Matter movement.
“Black Lives Matter founder buys $1.4 million home in Topanga, which has a black population of 1.4 percent,” Whitlock wrote in a Sunday tweet. “She’s with her people!”
The missive was a reference to a Los Angeles-area home reportedly purchased by BLM co-founder Patrisse Khan-Cullors. Hours later, numerous social media users shared a screenshot from Whitlock in which Twitter informed him his account had been locked. “You may not publish or post other people’s private information without their express authorization and permission,” the message informed him. Whitlock confirmed the message’s authenticity to sports writer Ryan Glasspiegel.

News of the 37-year-old Cullors’ home purchase appeared in a number of publications on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday — including The New York Post, Fox Business, and Yahoo News. A number of critics highlighted the reports, including RealClearPolitics editor Tom Bevan, who opined with a reference to Cullors describing herself as a Marxist. “What was Karl Marx’s position on snapping up high end real-estate?” Bevan wrote.

Cullors previously purchased four homes in 2020 alone, and the latest acquisition led to criticism even from fellow BLM members. The group’s New York City chief Hawk Newsomtold The Post he wanted “an independent investigation” to find out out where she was getting the funds to finance her purchases.
Twitter did not respond to a request for comment from Mediaite.

The purchase of multiple high-end homes by Khan-Cullors, who once described herself as a “trained Marxist,” was widely reported in the media over the weekend, making the front page of the New York Post under the headline “Black Lives Manors.”
In addition to the $1.4 mil L.A. home, Khan-Cullors reportedly bought three other homes worth a combined total of over $1.5 million. In response to the story, the head of New York’s chapter of Black Lives Matter called for an investigation into who the organization’s money is spent.

Do you even comprehend my take? She had a lot of options on where to live. She chose one of the whitest places in California. She'll have her pick of white cops and white people to complain about. That's a choice, bro. https://t.co/rBkOnSjb4u

Any place with a higher percentage of black people than 1.4% is a homeless shelter? Is that what you're suggesting? Wonder what the percentage of black police officers do they have in Topanga? https://t.co/9wCsGLNcwW

Is that what you’re suggesting? Wonder what the percentage of black police officers do they have in Topanga?”
