OK this is a month old but some news is never old and I think this story is permanent. BTS faces inequal treatment and sees the value in being allies with others who face inequal treatment.

because of all the "B's", I misread that as "billion".

but that's cool; hopefully they find the right organization to donate it to, because I heard there were issues with that kinda stuff in the past.

Each donation is raising awareness of the problem. People can solve this problem.

It's a valid question really. The donation being recognized does something as far as influence over their fanbase at least, but I'd also question what the end translation really is.

This could be interpreted as a PR move in the end to appeal to their outside fanbase, as shallow as that sounds. While they have that relation of being subject to their own discrimination, I'm pretty sure they're quite distant from close association to our more local conflicts.

Either way, this seemingly doesn't hurt anyone, so good on their part.

BLM by and large is a good group. Unfortunately the spotlight has been hogged by corrupted politics. It's good that they are giving back to the actual organizations who are out there trying to make a difference. Vs just the wealthy getting wealthier.

Very little can change without money

information about what the problems are, who you can vote for to change things, various charities/efforts to improve communities all require capital

Who is paying for the food bank? who is running it? how is it advertised?

I don't work with BLM but I work with a lot of charities and people really don't get how they work

^ Hey now that's completely unfair!

That's what is unfortunate is I really wonder how much billionaires are really supporting the actual organizations. The Koch Brothers definately aren't lining up to support BLM. Some of the democrats are but even they are focused on their own wealth at the highest level. People do this stuff for a living and work to get funding.

BLM is a non profit. Like Oxfam and others. They rely on donations and act as an advocate for social change. They are non profit organizations. They aren't a business. One of my friends runs BLM where I live. The other runs Oxfam. This is what he does. It's not a typical business. They speak to business people and educate them about social responsibility. THe Koch Brothers are out there on the other side of the fence funding things like the tea party and everything else. The Tea Party was created to basically mask the entire process. So that corporations can have their way. Citizens United and all that was designed so that money gets funnelled back to the wealthy. It's similar but basically republican and democratic politics.

The money could have been better spent on a charity or some group that actually does good in the world like animal conservations.

Someone should fill BTS in that they are donating to a pointless cause and their money was better spent elsewhere.
