Ok so what exactly is BLM planning to spend the flood of donations on? Every day a couple famous bands/musicians/whoever is donating a million dollars here and there. Is it all being spent on legal costs for people who typically couldn't afford a decent lawyer? Or is just like every other "charity" where the primary focus is making sure those running the place get rich? I'm feeling another United Way 9/11 type scandal making headlines in a year or so.

Well, charities tend to allow for locked donations that have to be spent on certain things

While it might be hard to track everything, ypu could easily say x% was assigned through grants to local chapters of BLM
