Next time you hear Democrats complain about "right wing dark money" corrupting our system, keep these numbers in mind.
It's an undeniable fact that Democratic Party elites, progressive activists, foundation and think-tank officials, and most opinion journalists are well to the left of the party's rank and file.
Thomas Edsall, one of the few decent contributors at the New York Times, published a valuable piece of journalism Wednesday on the sheer size of philanthropic commitment to left-wing "racial justice" measures.
With nearly 3,000 words of interviews and assorted content, he explores how much money — nearly $25 billion it turns out — was donated by progressive elites to divisive racial endeavors after the May 2020 killing of George Floyd.
Before Floyd’s death, Candid — a website for wealthy "people who want to change the world with the resources they need to do it" — said philanthropic entities provided about $3 billion in "racial equity funding" from 2011-19. Since then, Candid found, "50,887 grants valued at $12.7 billion” and “177 pledges valued at $11.6 billion."
Among the top funders that have weaponized philanthropy are the Ford Foundation, at $3 billion; Mackenzie Scott, at $2.9 billion; JPMorgan Chase & Co. Contributions Program, at $2.1 billion; W.K. Kellogg Foundation, $1.2 billion; Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, $1.1 billion; Silicon Valley Community Foundation, $1 billion; Walton Family Foundation, $689 million; The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, $438 million; and the Foundation to Promote Open Society, $350.5 million.
And there you have it. But its a truth we at this website we've known for a long time: The left-wing race-based activism has funding of a magnitude right and moderate groups could never even dream of, billionaires and foundations are major funders, and the most radical ideas like defunding the police and CRT are some of the destructive results. The largest brand name foundations are against you and promoting damage to our society.
Haul out the guillotines again, it may be the only way to stop them now. And a few industrial size wood chippers to spice it up a bit.
