I would like to see just one foundation give a million or two to some minority group selected randomly and carefully track the money, reporting precisely where it all went. I think it would be like sending money to some of these third world countries where those in control are suddenly basking on the Riviera while the masses get the usual: nothing.

I wold be interested to see how much of that charity money ends up in Demo pockets. The number is now pretty substantial.

Reporting in your suggested scenario would likly track along the lines of the Annenberg Chicago Challenge. Abject failure.

It’s amazing .. successful white guy builds up a business, makes a fortune, donates much of that fortune to a foundation with his philanthropic goals mind. Then, the foundation is taken over by bleeding heart liberals who put the aforementioned dead white guy’s money to uses he most likely abhored. Think Annenberg, Carnegie, Ford, et al.

Would a Marriott Foundation be forced to have a board with secular non-Mormons who favor, say, Prop 8? Or would a Monohan Foundation have to donate to NARAL for the sake of ‘diversity?’

Alas, few come by sizeable fortunes by sure luck and happenstance. Those still living are too smart to get tied up in this type of thuggery. They will figure out how to invest their philanthropic dollars in ways to advance their own interests, and not those of some ‘committee’ or ‘council’ whose bureaucrats think they know more than they do about how to spend their own money.
