Do you donate/crowd-fund?

The FBI has arrested the founder of a Black Lives Matter group in Atlanta on fraud and money laundering charges.

Sir Maejor Page, 32, was accused Friday of misappropriating $200,000 in donations he solicited through Facebook on behalf of Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta, Fox 5 Atlanta reported Friday.

This is why I never donate to these sorts of things, even charities because I always get the vibe that its just something this that happens with the money

This happens with charities too often.

Ever since what the Red Cross did with the 911 charity funds I have not trusted charity groups.

What did they do? And yeah I dont even donate to any of the bigger mainstream ones

Saw some red cross ones going up for that Lebanon explosion and was shaking my head at all the people quick to donate. I wonder what ended up happening to those charity funds

Hey I don't remember TC making topics about Trump doing this. I'd almost think the guy who's had 40+ accounts banned for racist shitposting has some kind of agenda!

That activist was actually an agent provocateur sent in by Trump to make BLM look bad. Don't fall for the propaganda.

Also i haven't found this story on any reputable news sites like Huffington Post or Mother Jones so it's likely it's entirely fabricated.

People gave money for 911 families/survivors. Red Cross was like we are just going to hold on to it for future things as we need the money more. Thankfully I hear they were forced to give it up but still disgusting imo.

Damn. That's fucked, also what they did in Haiti was really bad too. But overall, if you look at the numbers, they do way more good than harm so I don't know what to say

I am not saying they are bad, I just dont trust giving to charities anymore because of them.

I stopped giving money to people/charities/whatever when I caught a homeless person I regularly donated to smoking
If I don't smoke with my own money, you don't get to smoke with someone else's
