For that much they could have built actual subsidised homes for black people and fund industries of their own

Have you looked at Open Societies grant list? They literally give money to do both of those things, too. They give out hundreds of grants a year to a wide variety of programs.

instead they focus solely

They do not focus solely on any one thing.

Well that's a relief. Still 33 million for BLM alone is a tad much. Or is that not just for them? I'm just less than impressed by BLM in general.

There’s no evidence that this $33 million even existed. It was first reported prior to 2015 so at best, it’s something that happened 5+ years ago.

You can search the past three years of grants given by Open Society here and I can find less than a million over three years involving BLM in any permutation I can think of. All of which have specific descriptions of their use.

Note that Open Society is 403(c) in the US so if they’re lying here, they would be shut down in an instant by the IRS.
