#4Makes sense, although there are lot of other "charities" that I'm pretty sure have no accountability. I'm guessing this one got removed cause it is under the most scrutiny by the public.

#5Exactly. I don't know why everyone including the big tech companies fell for the BLM grift so that they could scam their 'supporters' into taking the money and now running off with their donations which was used to buy properties, mansions, etc.
How could they be so gullible?

Or, it's because the IRS revoked their tax exempt status.

Amazon doesn't really get a choice in the matter here.

#8The BLM movement and the BLM organization are different. Much the same way that Americans will all claim to be democrats but less than half will claim to be Democrats.

A lot of people who could have raised this issue were shouted at for being racist, anti-black, etc. no matter if their concerns were valid.

I would imagine the Amazon process is fairly automated so there's no scrutiny, bias, etc. Fact is, NPOs have certain legal/tax. requirements so the data in question shouldn't be a problem, unless it is.
Maybe there's a good reason for the disconnect, but two yrs running is not a good sign.
