Apologize if repeat, I searched.

A large public sector union says it is cutting ties with the United Negro College Fund over a donation it accepted from the Koch brothers, an act the union calls “a profound betrayal” to blacks.
quote:
Heads turned when UNCF announced the large donation last month. Most of it — $18.5 million — is set to go towards a scholarship fund. Another $6.5 million will be directed to historically black colleges and universities and loan assistance programs.
But in his letter, Saunders claims that the Kochs are openly hostile to black people.
“We are doing this as a result of actions taken as president of the UNCF that are not only deeply hostile to the rights and dignity of public employees, but also a profound betrayal of the ideals of the civil rights movement,” wrote Saunders.
“The Koch brothers and the organizations they fund have devoted themselves for more than a decade to attacking the voting rights African Americans.”

Only in America can you be against things by giving them money.

So I guess this union would have preferred the Koch Brothers to NOT donate any money to the UNCF??

They would have preferred that the money had been forcibly taken from the Koch brothers.
