The Issue: Black Lives Matter founder Patrisse Khan-Cullor’s purchase of four homes worth $3.2 million.

There has been a lot of talk about Black Lives Matter activist and co-founder Patrisse Khan-Cullors being a complete fraud and a hypocrite, buying four houses, including one in the lily-white enclave of Topanga Canyon (“Black Lives Manor,” April 11).

The fact is she is acting like a true communist — just like the nomenklatura in Soviet-era Moscow, buying their dachas on the Black Sea while their population starved and suffered.

Jack Dorsey and Twitter reportedly locked out a journalist who dared to post about the story (“Twits’ freeze speech,” April 14).

What reason would Twitter have to do that, other than to protect Khan-Cullors from public exposure and BLM from embarrassment?

The irony of your paper trying to generate anger at the founder of BLM for spending her rightfully earned salary, while also having to report on California correcting a century-old racist criminal seizure, is probably lost on most of your readers (“LA beach-affront,” April 11)

Most would benefit from the understanding that there can be more than one true thing: Racism exists today, as it did 100 years ago, and excessive money influences people to live differently.

Khan-Cullors has every right to spend that money however she wishes. And this other article explained the concept of reparations as succinctly as possible. Makes sense to me.

I would like to give The Post kudos for exposing the blatant, outright shamefulness of the Black Lives Matter co-founder for her extravagant real-estate purchases.

I wonder how BLM’s big donors and all the hardworking volunteers (protesters) feel about this? They should be outraged. Let’s sit back and wait for the explanation.

A woman of the people she is not. As Gordon Gekko famously said in “Wall Street”: “Greed clar­ifies, cuts through and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit.”

Khan-Cullors created an empire and placed herself at the top. Only in America.

Partrisse Khan-Cullors, the Marxist BLM co- founder, apparently has been acting very much the capitalist in buying high-end properties recently.

It seems the whole “everything and everyone is racist” cottage industry pays quite well.

The Issue: The Post’s article on married couples who choose to sleep in separate beds.

If Lambeth Hochwald would know a little of Orthodox Judaism laws and rules, she would know that “sleep divorce” is an integral part of Jewish life (“A sleep divorce,” April 14).

A 3,000-year-old practice that invigorates the marriage and increases respect for the spouse is a “secret” that you are now revealing.

The Torah requires separation between spouses during menstruation. Orthodox couples have separate beds. This is not a new idea.

Eliezer Cohen

In The Post’s article on couples who sleep in separate beds, it states how separate beds lead to better rest and sleep.

Interestingly, religious Jews have been sleeping in separate beds for more than 3,000 years.
