What exactly does money donated to BLM go towards other than making a few organizers at the top rich?

I keep seeing people say donate to these causes. Like what do these organizations do with the money? Seriously, does any of this stuff go directly to end racism?

The app works, so they probably laid off all the programmers that they don't need anymore to write code. They just need to update the code periodically. Maybe the laid off programmers could get a job in a coal mine, or something.


They should learn to coal.

How does an online app have 1,900 employees?


It’s a large company that has every department that any other company would have. Airbnb is worldwide mate.
