Black Lives Matter Co-Founder Patrisse Khan-Cullors recently purchased a “secluded mini-compound” in Topanga Canyon, California for $1.4 million in an almost entirely white city.
Topanga’s population breakdown by race is almost 90% white and less than 2% black (here, here).
MSN and News Break picked up the story which was originally published in the real estate news website, Dirt.

[Khan-Cullors] chose to live in one of the whitest areas possible.
Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Khan-Cullors has chosen to live in one of the whitest areas of California after purchasing a $1.4 million dollar home in an area that has a black population of just 1.6 percent.
A report by real estate website Dirt reveals that Khan-Cullors, who started the #BlackLivesMatter hashtag in 2013 in response to George Zimmerman’s acquittal, has purchased a “secluded mini-compound tucked into L.A.’s rustic and semi-remote Topanga Canyon.”
“A winding 15 minute drive from The Commons at Calabasas and a slightly longer and somewhat less serpentine drive from Malibu’s Getty Villa, the pint-sized compound spans about one-quarter of an acre. The property’s not-quite 2,400 square feet is divided between the a three-bedroom and two-bath main house and a separate one-bed/one-bath apartment capable of hosting guests long term with a private entry and a living room with kitchenette,” writes Mark David.
According to official data, non-Hispanic white people make up 82.3% of the population in Topanga Canyon while African-Americans comprise a mere 1.64% of the population.
Other counties in California boast a substantially higher black population, including Alameda (12.5 per cent) and Sacramento (10.2 per cent).
According to an L.A. Times report, Topanga Canyon is noted for its population’s “privilege” and “geographic isolation from the mellow-harshing realities of modern American life.”
Although black lives may matter to Khan-Cullors, it appears as though she isn’t too keen on living amongst black people.
Social justice hypocrites who often spout anti-white rhetoric while choosing to live in gentrified white areas are nothing new, in fact, it’s a common theme.
Celebrities and politicians who espouse pro-mass immigration sentiment routinely live in the least diverse areas possible.
