Render us shocked. Shocked, we tell you, when we came across this news last night. A Black Lives Matter (BLM) leader in Oklahoma City was charged with wire fraud and money laundering.

Tashella Sheri Amore Dickerson, 52, had access to BLMOKC’s bank, PayPal, and Cash App accounts starting in 2016. Federal prosecutors say Dickerson diverted more than $3.15 million in returned bail checks into her personal bank accounts over a five-year period, according to an indictment unsealed yesterday afternoon.
That’s a lot of grift.

What did Dickerson do with the BLM money? Jet off to Jamaica and The Dominican Republic. She also went on some shopping sprees and ordered about $50,000-dollars worth of Door Dash. She also bought a vehicle registered in her name, and six properties.

But wait, there’s more…

A federal grand jury returned a 25-count indictment on Dec. 3, charging Dickerson with 20 counts of wire fraud and five counts of money laundering. She faces up to 20 years in federal prison for each wire-fraud count and up to 10 years for each money-laundering count, along with potential fines of up to $250,000 per charge.

We guess a trip to Jamaica or a $10,000 shopping spree could be defined as a “social justice cause”, right?

The Reverend thinks Black Lives Matter, but her black life matters more. The Rev, T. Sheri Dickerson, was not the only BLM leader, public servant, social-activist to make a gainful living out of donations.

Monica Cannon-Grant, 44, pleaded guilty Monday to 18 counts of fraud-related crimes that she committed with her late husband while operating their Violence in Boston (VIB) activists group, according to the US Attorney’s Office in Massachusetts.

The activist scammed money — including $3,000 from a BLM group — while claiming it was to help feed children and run protests like one in 2020 over the murder of George Floyd and police violence.”–Patrick Reilly, The New York Post

In reality, these two women were pulling from the Patrisse Khan-Cullors playbook. Remember the $1.4-million dollar home in Topanga Canyon that was purchased in 2021? While cities burned and were destroyed?

What Cullors really proves is that most people want to live somewhere nice – even Marxists. They don’t want to live in inner city slums, or in gang-infested concrete apartment high rises, where they want everyone else to live.

However, what it takes for most people to earn and save the income to purchase a $1.4 million home doesn’t come from typical non-profit employment, unless she paid herself more than $250,000 a year, which is a possibility.”-Katy Grimes, Californiaglobe.com

So, it is the same BLM story for a different day. Dickerson claims she is not in custody and is doing “just fine“.

I cannot make an official comment about what transpired today. I am home. I am safe. I have confidence in our team.

A lot of times when people come at you with these types of things … it’s evidence that you are doing the work. That is what I’m standing on.”-T Sheri Dickerson</blockquote>

Yeah. The FBI is just “coming at her” with these types of things. But she’s doing “the work”. And she’s “standing on” the work she’s doing.

Something tells me “The Reverend” isn’t going to be doing “the work” in Jamaica or The Dominican Republic. And, does Uber Eats visit Federal Penitentiaries? And, will people be dopey enough to contribute to this “non-profit” with more people like Dickerson at the helm? Black Lives Matter may as well change its name to BLM=Big, Luxurious Mansions. Or BLM=Bail (funds) Lost on Me.

In the meantime, keep doing the work. Those personal slush funds are running dry. The Rev may need to find herself a real job very soon if she does not get locked up first.
