I'm done with Habitat for Humanity

Been volunteering with HFH for over 10 years, working on new builds, community cleanup, and renovations in mostly poor black communities.
Last year after Floyd's death, I attended a ceremony for a house we built for a young black single mother. The speaker started talking about racism and white privilege, I was so disgusted I had to walk out.
Then got this email message today saying they need to be more diverse. Mind you every build I have been on has been almost 99% white men working on it, not counting the family who are required to work a certain number of hours (usually black or hispanic). I guess they don't want my volunteer time (away from my famoly) anymore because it isn't diverse enough.

So, it's white people's fault that black people won't volunteer to help black people?

Another charity trashed with racism.

Equity and diversity is going to destroy more than it helps….

Lefties are obsessed with form over substance.
Always about appearances and not what actually works.

Sometimes they have to crash and burn to learn.

I want to know if these people are doing this shite to themselves on their own accord or if they're being conned by these "consulting firms" into doing this shite out of fear of having a PR campaign against them.
Why organizations would alienate large swathes of the populace to virtue signal is beyond me, especially an organization that's almost completely reliant on volunteers.
ETA: After a quick google search of non-promotional HFH photos, it seems the overwhelming majority of volunteers are white people. These people are fricking morons.

What will they do when they have no more volunteers of supplies/labor?
They also need to help all those in need and not profile for black people to get homes first.

Let them know how you feel. Without the volunteers that organization would collapse.

Ditto.
Building a house requires skill...not diversity. Without skill, you might get a house up but I wouldn't count on it staying up for long.

It's amazing to me as a small business owner. Why do you want to piss off ANY potential or existing customer over something so nonsensical?

So how much charity money is HFH paying to Diversity Crew for their "work"? The new money laundering trend among liberal activist orgs is to transfer funds from tax deductible charities to individuals under the guise of services paid. This is why you have so many liberal "charities" constantly moving money around to other "charity foundations". Every time they do it they can lauder money to individuals.

Lol. Contractor my dad did the electrical and plumbing work for in the past had a very diverse concrete crew.
Dads crew roughed in the slab per the plans and the kitchen sink was in the garage per the strings.
They pulled a 100 ft tape measure on it and the concrete forms were two feet out of square. The house was basically a parallelogram. They couldn’t even get started.
Contractor made them come back and fix it under the supervision of the contractors right hand man. Then he tossed their number.
This is probably what a load of diversity brings in. But what they want… they get.

You’d think these morons at non-profits would realize that when they usher in communism there will be no need for charities. The government becomes the one and only charity.
