Who cares? Anyone can give money for any reason.. Insinuating it is race based makes you the racist.

There are forces in this country that will use any excuse to attempt to cancel out the opinions of people who don't think the same as them. This is one of those attempts.

"Donations to conservative commentator Candace Owens’ Blexit Foundation took a precipitous drop in 2021. But the organization paid Owens more than ever: $250,000 in salary, alone. That’s not including the chartered flights.

Founded in 2018, Blexit urges African-Americans to leave the Democratic Party, preferably to take up conservative politics. Amid racial justice protests in 2020, the Blexit Foundation reaped more than $7 million in donations. Now the organization is back in the public eye after its sometimes-collaborator Kanye West kicked off a firestorm of antisemitic comments, shortly after posing in “White Lives Matter” shirts with Owens, and pledging to buy Parler, the rightwing social media site Owens’ husband runs. The Blexit Foundation’s newly released 2021 tax filings suggest an organization that has struggled to keep up its fundraising figures—but kept the money flowing to top execs.

Reached for comment, Owens repeatedly declined to answer specific questions about how much the Blexit Foundation had dispensed, or to whom.

“In short, yes we raised money and proudly dispersed money for and to black businesses and continue to do so. Our filings are public, timely, and entirely comprehensive,” Owens wrote in an email. The Blexit organization did not otherwise comment.

The Blexit Foundation has been a 501(c)(3) nonprofit since 2019. Its charity status makes it tax-exempt, and its tax documents a matter of public record. Over the three years for which Blexit’s documents are available, the foundation has seen a surge—then a slump—in contributions.

In 2019, its first year as a nonprofit, the Blexit Foundation pulled in $904,575 in donations. The organization’s operations were modest that year. None of its top execs, including Owens, worked there full-time or drew a salary from the foundation."...

So it is BLM for conservatives?

Wait, that's not quite right. BLM billed money by playing the racial guilt card. And funneled money to owners. Blexit gives the donors both what they want and what they think they are getting.
