Lots to unpack here...First off I'm not concerned with what other communities get from their donations. There circumstances are different from ours. I'm a meat and potatoes guy. I hand you money. I want something in return. If you don't want to do an even, immediate exchange I'm reserving the right to ask the hard questions so I can make an informed decision about how I spend my money. Maybe the peckerwoods that send zimmerman money have it to burn so they can sleep better at night knowing they supported a murderer. Black people don't have "feel good" money. We need something for our efforts. HNIC is trying to place nice with the bum niggas on BGOL. If he wanted to he could drop the hammer and go on living without this site. I'm ready to either pay my share or learn to live without BGOL. I'm fine with either option. It's his call. And I'm not concerned with Tariq's failures or successes. None of them has anything to do with mine. I'm commenting on the abundance of hustlers in the black community and pointing out why that's a problem.
We have predatory people in our community but no more than any other. And practicing group economics is a must. But if it ain't for you, cool. There are people donating as we speak that don't share your concerns.
