Message: <blockquote data-quote="GreyLord" data-source="post: 8011750" data-attributes="member: 4348">I skipped through a lot of the comments because I did not really want to get embroiled in some of the political stuff in the thread.I am posting to comment on those that are wary of paying money to charities they do not know much about.I do not know much about where the finances for some of the charities are going, and I don't know about how accountable they are, but there is one that I FEEL should have had more press considering the current situation and in my own opinion has done more legally to help than many others.That is the NAACP.  Hopefully I can post a link (not directly to their charity, but at least to their site) to those who may be interested.  It is a longstanding organization and is an alternative if people are looking for one.[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.naacp.org/[/URL]It is one of the first that comes to my mind, so I may be missing a reason why they have not been mentioned more in recent days in the media.  If there is, obviously feel free to take it down if it is controversial (I don't feel it should be, but I may have missed something, I expected they would have more media presence considering recent events, but I have not heard much about them recently, so I may be out of the loop).From my experience they are a solid organization that you can donate to and have a good idea what you are donating for.Edit: I decided to be less apologetic (excuses to justify posting the link) and more straightforward with putting down the link.  I hope it is allowed, I do not desire to offend anyone and only promote another organization that I FEEL is in line with what some may be looking for.  If I am wrong, please know I meant no wrong and only meant to help.</blockquote>
