>Gets moderated on a website for calling BLM as it is: a grift

- Said that the funders got rich as fuck on charity money, that is 100% true. You don't buy several million dollars house on charity org money if you charity is legit. The self proclaimed "trained marxist" literally bought several fucking million dollar houses

- Called race focused organizations grifts, all of them have huge monetary incentive for things to never get better. Why would it? If it's all good, then no money anymore. They'd sooner throw everyone and society itself under the bus if it could get them a buck

All of this in comparison to explain as to why people would be wary of the "Stop AAPI Hate" one (in relation of corps simping for charities again to virtue signal), it might be legit, but chances are that it ain't either

tl;dr: Vouch your charities, don't enrich social grifters that hates you and make your life difficult when you've never done anything wrong
@coolboymew I operate on the assumption that if I can't see where donations are being spent then it's a grift. Anything as vague or nebulous as "raising awareness" or "stopping x" is a grift. BLM as a political organisation is a grift and it's quite surprising that blatantly embezzling charitable donations into real estate isn't a crime, but I guess that's America for you.
@SADIDAS Actually, chances are that all of this payout is actually completely legal

IIRC charities have to spend x amount of money in a year, and depending on how much they spent in charitable work (that unfortunately includes stuff like Anita Saarkeesian making videos on gaming, for example, all expenses related to that), they can allocate a % of it to themselves. So considering they practically got a billion, none of this is surprising

However, an org actually serious about charity would probably not have their leaders buying several million dollars houses, that's ludicrous and a good showing that it's a garbage charity where they maximized their own payout. Even if they found themselves under a ludicrous amount of cash, the higher ups having a pay out of more than 5 figures while preaching "muh justice", it's just not believable anymore

also look at this garbage fact checking

It's attacking a claim nobody was making. And the whole thing is worse than expected, book deals? Youtube deals? Fuck off. You see, grifting to make your life miserable is extremely lucrative

i know this will sound weird, but I believe it's better to see the need to money first hand, and give the money directly.

While I know my 100 dollars here will do nothing to 100 dollars in africa, but at least I know how it's spent and see the lives improved.

On the other hand, whenever I hear the words "We're donating" I feel ashamed by the company even before they finish the sentance.

I don't care if it's red cross or ADL. Just raise the wages of some grunts you selfish fucks. That is the social contract right? They make you millions, so they recieve a part back. Throwing that part away is a betrayal at the basic level.

Fuck... I do not even believe that when I whink about it. When I help someone become self-sustaining or even productive in here, they do make much more good throughout their life then any saved african life ever could.
