“....Disallow their charitable donations...”

Donors sent money to the Black Lives Matter Foundation through employee-matching donation programs at their jobs and through third-party fundraising platforms including GoFundMe and the PayPal Giving Fund. This happened because the foundation showed up when users searched those platforms for “Black Lives Matter.”

But as its founder explained to BuzzFeed, despite the similar names, the Black Lives Matter Foundation has no affiliation with the Black Lives Matter social justice movement founded in 2013 by three community organizers. The movement is not a tax-exempt nonprofit, so they will have to forget the write off. And after discovering that donors were sending money to a group that wasn’t affiliated with the Black Lives Matter movement, and after further investigation revealed that the foundation was not in good standing with state authorities in California, where it is based, no more of the donations were released to the foundation. A fool and his money are soon parted. Domestic justice.

Let’s change the title of this article to “Those businesses donating to the Marxist, anti-Semitic extortion group known as Black Lives Matter”.

Now that is telling the truth and since BLM leaders/statements of purpose have admitted as such, there won’t be any lawsuits against anyone who characterizes them that way (possible problem is calling them an “extortion group” though their actions are precisely that, via protests, violence, etc).

That’s because 14 million is a joke. Companies have given a hundred million and up

BLM doesn’t need Soros to have billions. It just helps. And we can probably bet the house. Someone we know will be shot with one of the guns bought with all this money in the upcoming civil war. If not a civil war than multiple violent skirmishes throughout the country

Taxing them and giving US the tax cut because we are conservative, rather than giving the money to the shareholders who built the companies, is the Marxist approach.”

That was before the rich started to be Marxists or at least passive do nothing republicans. Wake up it is a new world! It is time for new tactics.

Anti_racism?

If they donate to ‘social Justice’ promoting different rules for people of different color, or ‘reparations’ based on your skin color, then the are racist.

If they spupport the BLM which advocates violence against ‘whiteness’ then they are racist.

Those companies should be boycotted or hit with class action lawsuits for their complicity and support of murder of several children, destruction of property and the terrorizing and suffering of so many.
