Facebook prevents sharing New York Post story on BLM co-founder's real estate

Why are people implying this money must have come from BLM donations? She wrote a book that was on the NYT bestseller list, and presumably has other income streams beyond her work for BLM. I have no idea whether BLM is allocating their money properly or not, but it seems quite plausible that she has earned all the money in question through legitimate means.

I'm not sure people are. They're implying it could have, and that they'd like to hear more about it. (In response to the controversy, Cullors gave an interview saying she's never taken a salary, and BLMGNF issued a statement saying she's gotten a total of $120,000 from them since the beginning in 2013, although both statements were followed by weird rants about how dangerous it is that anyone would ask.)

People think that money may be coming from the donations.

In such cases it is reasonable to have a proper calm discussion, not to ban those asking the question.
