This is the BLM mission statement.
https://blacklivesmatter.com/what-we-believe/
I don't see any mention that all the money they receive goes to the Democratic Party. There is no mention of Democrats in this statement. Also not that BLM is an international movement, not only an American one.
Also, it seems this a debunked rumor that originate from some troll meme. There has been extansive fact checking by several organisations of which I will post only one.

I did not say all the money went to the DNC.
Are you saying NONE of the money goes to the DNC?

First I heard of it. But I wouldn't be surprised at all if there was some backdoor funneling going on.

It seems like this revolves around the organization ActBlue which takes in donations for BLM and the DNC. Kind of funny how the two happened to be in the same pot here. Conflict of interest anybody?
I suspect the money is laundered there and then distributed so it's squeaky clean and legal when it's 'donated' to their intended destinations. It turns out that ActBlue takes a cut of the donations for themselves, and also any 'unclaimed' donations tend to be considered as contributions to ActBlue which makes me immensely curious on how those funds are used.
From what I gather, ActBlue is very reluctant to disclose how and where those particular funds go.
Republicans are barred from using the organization.

Rubbish, why would money from the UK go to the Democrats?
Please post a link for your assertion.

Of course, they are Fair and Balanced news, says it right there underneath their logo!
The burden of proof is with you. It is up to you to provide evidence that money is going to the DNC. It is also your responsibility to create a summary as to why you think this is a bad thing (if it is true). You have provided none of these things. For now, this is just a rumor with no weight once so ever.

You gotta be a "Poe". FOX news has been caught on more than one occasion of doctoring photos in the last few months.

Even if this was true, does it not make sense that a movement would gravitate toward those who support it rather than those who oppose it?

It's like they're surprised the money isn't going to republicans. Sorry, that party is the problem in America. Greedy and corrupt for the capitalist elitists.

It would be interesting to hear what Biden would say on the matter, but he's not talking bout it right now.

There's an old saying that goes "Even a fish would keep out of trouble if it just kept its mouth shut!".
Biden is quite content to just "let Trump be Trump", thus sink his own ship, and it's hard to argue with that strategy at this point. Biden's been around for an eternity it seems, so he's a known entity.

I did a poll in the Conservative forum if anybody could think of a reason not to vote for Trump.
A single person came forward.Nobody else on these boards even bothered to respond.
There is nothing that would dissuade these people from supporting Trump. Nothing at all.

Ole Puxatawney Biden did have something good to say about one Mr. Robert Byrd years ago.
I think Mr. Byrd had something to do with the KKK..
Remember that?
