Take Floyd’s case, horrific, but the family set an audacious target of $1.5M on their gofundme page. They’re up to $3.3M already at the time of writing. As per the description on their main gofundme (yes there are multiple, and no they’re not all fake): “This fund will be governed and controlled at the discretion Philonise Floyd for the family's benefit”. The height of their target, the fact the family has multiple funds set up in parallel by family members, and the discretion of spending reeks of them trying to make money out of the death of their brother. Why are people willingly providing millions of dollars to a fund that may well be misused? Driving a change in racism or abuse of power by law enforcement is the bigger issue here. A much better destination for this money would be existing charities and lobbying groups that have a chance to push a change in racism. Making the Floyd family millionaires overnight will not contribute to that. #racism #floyd #gofundme
Uhm. It’s Go Fund Me. That’s the point. It’s not meant to be a 501c. Literally every other fund on there is for someone to use for themselves or their business at their discretion. It’s literally called Go Fund ME.
Uhm. You’re missing the point. In this case people are donating because of the cause (racism), not because of the individual Mr Floyd.
Ppl donate to someone who has cancer because cancer....not the person. If the cancer didn’t exist nobody would donate. Wtf. Seriously. It’s Go Fund ME. Ppl donate their money all the time for thousands of reasons. Why can’t fighting racism be a reason for them?
If you don't want to donate to that person don't donate. Have YOU donated to the organisations which you are talking about? If you haven't doneted but just preaching well...
Can’t blame them for tapping into the “white guilt”.
You do know the George had numerous kids right? I’m sure you know that money could be use to pay for the kids’ education, help the woman or women of those children. Did you think about that? You know raising kids are expensive don’t you? You know the emotional damage can cause to a child don’t you? Why do you automatically assume the worse in a stranger? The girlfriend could use that to give him a proper funeral. You know covid is around so people got laid off, did you think about if they were affected? Seems like you didn’t.
You'll be sorely disappointed frequently if you expect people to act logically, or by your logic. Ask questions and be open to answers even if they don't make sense. Accept their answers as their thought process, accept it, learn from it. Trying to change people's mind with your own logic is often an act of futility unless you're experienced in persuading others.
Its so funny all the things white ppl will find to complain abt to spend their time rather than actually doing smth productive. Like with everything going on what honestly compelled u to focus on this
I can see why some on blind may be jealous. Spending decades getting to a multi-million net worth status and seeing others just GoFundMe their way to it overnight. Like wtf ?

Why Israel Feels Wronged
An employee at Amazon named Tiger King concerned about where people put their money, with a "#racism" tag on the thread. I think you're answering questions we don't need to ask here. (something something Samsung employee being salty something something soy sauce)
