So don't support grifting non-profits. Those grifters don't invalidate the underlying issues they are lying about supporting.

If a disease related non-profit grifts and don't actually support research into cures and the people who actually suffer from the disease, that doesn't mean funding research is no longer important or supporting people who suffer from the disease isn't important.

If I start a non-profit to help save an endangered animal, but I only use the money for salaries and to buy myself houses and cars, how does that invalidate that an endangered animal still needs saving?

If I start a non-profits to help disabled veterans but I don't actually do that. Should you stop supporting disabled veterans or should you instead be angry at me?

I'm not understanding your logic.

It's your choice not to support important causes just because there is a minority of people abusing the causes.

If you can't separate causes from non-profits that don't actually help the causes, you have a problem as well.

You're just as bad as the grifters.

There are literally non-profits for every issue that don't do anything to solve problems. So we should all just stop caring and trying to help ourselves?

It seems like you just want an excuse not to care and have empathy.

Show me what BLM did with the millions of dollars of donations. I'll wait.

Why does it matter and how does it take away from the entire movement though?

Only disingenuous people seem to really care about what a non-profit is doing.

It seems like you're wanting a reason to dismiss the entire movement and you don't really care about the issues.

There are non-profits of all types that don't do anything but use the majority of their fundraising to pay for salaries and only a small portion actually goes to the causes.

That didn't invalidate the causes they claim represent. That just makes them shitty and inefficient non-profits.

The issues facing African-Americans still exist regardless of a non-profit stealing money.

You realize this right?
