NAACP
United Negro College
BLM
Yes definitely donate to BLM and they'll buy fancy real estate in the Caribbean and it'll disappear.

OP here. Wow this is spot on. I had no idea this type of organization existed. Thank you. I’ll look closely into this—exactly what I was looking for but didn’t know it.

OP here. Yes I see that too. We do make charitable contributions. This money felt different to me.
For people saying they’d keep it and invest for the kids, I see that point too. But I want my kids to be strong and confident enough to know they can and should make a life on honest work. I know it isn’t fair, it isn’t a level playing field, but we are working with the choices we have, one choice at a time.
PP, if you have more to share on your line of thinking, I am happy to receive it.
