She might as well have just flushed it all down a toilet. What an idiot. As usual, a liberal White woman. If I’m Bezos I am pissed that she is pulling this crap with the money he made.

For reference this is part of Ed Reed's video he posted right after named HC of Bethune-Cookman. He had to end up doing shite they told him, before hiring him, they would do and he makes it sound like they might have just hired him thinking he had NFL money and he would be willing to pay for upgrades, etc.

Why don’t they donate money to worthy causes like St Jude that actually provide a benefit to society.

This seems like a complete waste of money just to virtue signal

You couldn't be more wrong. She's also a wonderful person IRL. Jeff really screwed that one up.

That money could have gone towards getting Kiffin to LSU. Shame on her!

I don’t think that’s exactly true. Iirc she handled a lot of admin shite in the beginning when it was just her, jeff and a couple others getting amazon started.

The article says unrestricted. I’ve read about some of her prior huge donations where an assistant calls and gets information on an account that can accept $$$. Then, boom, enjoy. No strings.

If the schools and groups she donates to blow it, then they showed other potential donors that they are unworthy of their support. It’s a good test.

She should have asked Ed Reed about how HBU's operate before she throws money at them.

They’re selective in their process when giving the money to HBCUs.

consider Knoxville College. They had a student graduate two years ago. They have had neither students nor faculty for about a decade and most of the buildings have been condemned.

Well.. Its her money and she can obviously do whatever she wants with it, but I just feel there are causes that do a lot more for people than donating to HBCUs.
