WASHINGTON — One of the nation’s largest public-sector unions is severing its ties with the United Negro College Fund because the group accepted donations from the Koch brothers and its president spoke at a Koch-funded summit.
In a letter sent Tuesday, AFSCME President Lee Saunders wrote that the UNCF has taken actions “deeply hostile” to public employees, which he considers a “profound betrayal of the ideals of the civil rights movement,” and that the union will end its relationship with UNCF.
Saunders cited the UNCF’s decision to accept a $25 million grant from Koch Industries, Inc. and the Charles Koch Foundation as a reason for the split, as well as the decision by UNCF President Michael Lomax to speak at a summit hosted by the Kochs in California.
The Kochs have donated tremendous amounts of money to advance conservative political causes in recent years, as well as well as various philanthropic efforts.

Well obviously I am uneducated.
I thought the United Negro College Fund existed to help people who used to be called Negro with college aid, scholarships, etc.
And wouldn’t people of all political ideologies, not just liberals, be inclined to support such an organization? The United Negro College Fund is not obligated to shun donations from people who are not liberal enough to suit certain liberals.
Or at least that’s my opinion. I’m sure I need to go to re-education camp.
I am thinking the same thing. If they gave anything, it is surely less than $25 million, so they really don’t have any leverage here.

Racism! Racism! Racism! Racism! Racism! Racism!
Useless communist scum.
They really believe they can just operate out in the open with no consequence.
For every action, there is a reaction.
The reaction will not be equal but will be savage, overwhelming, and send the CPUSA running back under the rocks they crawled out from.
Marxists beware.
and if not, maybe the Koch Bros could do more good by continuing to give money to liberal groups and just stand back and watch them self-destruct
My question exactly. How much dough? should have been the first question and answer. F’ing media.
Doesn't sound like much.
“A waist is a terrible thing to mind.”
Or something like that...
"A liberal mind is a terrible waste".
You should have put the word "Progress" or "Progressive" somewhere in the name. Instant IRS green light!
Demonstrable and self serving racists...
They are so diverse in thought aren’t they?

Applying the union “logic” to other situations, I suppose if the Koch bros. gave 100 million dollars to starving people in some part of the world, the unions would also withdraw any support for the starving people because of those evil Koch bros.
Rosie o Donnell is rumored to be returning to the View. She will explain all of this to us.
Wow. How Racist can they be. This is economic violence. A threat of “either you get back on our economic plantation or we will whip you to death.” The liberal founded KKK is alive and promoted by our government.
