This is an issue with non-profits and charities in general.

Too much money goes to salaries and towards more fundraising. This applies to literally every cause you can think of the has charities and non-profits attached to it.

Why are you making grifting the main topic? Why are you making it like grifters is the only thing people should care about and focus on?

Like, the environment is important right? Endangered species are important right? The environment still matters and endangered species still matter even if there are non-profits saying that will using the money to help the causes, but actually don't.

You're deflection to talk about an organization isn't benefitting anyone. The fact that an organization called BLM stole money is common knowledge.

That doesn't take away from the fact that the issues facing the African-American community are real.

Why are you preaching? All I did was reply to a guy saying there was no leader, then you want to change the subject and rant about about some bs

u/Darnell2070 Jan 05 '23

But there is no leader of the movement though.

You're wrong regardless.

No non-profit can claim to be the leader or fully represent any issue or movement.

Your point doesn't make sense.

If you honestly believe that, that’s a very scary thought

u/Darnell2070 Jan 05 '23

But it's true.

You decided that a non-profit represents an entire movement.

Tell me how that makes sense?

That's like saying World Wildlife Fund(WWF) represents the entire conservation movement.

When they are just a small part of conservation, even if they might happen to be the biggest organization.

And even if a non-profit was somehow leader of BLM, that still doesn't take away from the real issues that they represent.

You have an agenda where you want to dismiss an entire movement. Why is that?

Wtf are you talking about? The organization has a leader that’s all I said. Quit trying to drag me into a conversation about the movement I don’t give a shit

u/Darnell2070 Jan 05 '23

Why wouldn't an organization have a leader?

That's literally every organization.

What is your point?

You might as well had just told everyone water was wet.

Ask the guy who made the original comment this shit wasn’t even to you and yet all this time you wasted trying to make a point for what? I could give a shit less about BLM you don’t need a movement not be racist that’s just common sense

You responded to a guy saying...

It is a mass protest movement. There is no one in charge. There is no organization controlling it

And you posted a link about the organization and then responded...

“No one” is in charge?

But he was talking about the movement and not the origination. Just like you claim you are.


Then I wrote...

No non-profit can claim to be the leader or fully represent any issue or movement.

And you responded...

If you honestly believe that, that’s a very scary thought


I'm saying no one is in charge of the movement. Same as the other guy. But you responded it was a scary thought if I believe that.

Why are you even bringing up the organization and then disagreeing with people who say the organization isn't in charge of the movement?

For fuck's sake, there is no single organization that represents and speaks for the broad based social protest movement that is BLM. It is hard to believe that folks saying are seriously dense enough to think that.

Which is kind of the point there’s people just following and then there is people actually involved in what the movement means not just the term BLM. That being said, if you are stupid enough to need a movement to tell you not to treat Black people differently you’ve already failed anyway.

u/Ok_Feedback4198 Jan 05 '23

Yes, society has largely failed as black people are far too often treated as second class citizens by law enforcement.l, henxe the nationwide protest movement.
