Justice vs. Foundations and Philanthropy

In a statement before the U.S. Commission on Industrial Relations in 1915, a miner representing Colorado miners, John R. Lawson, indicated why acceptance of tax-exempt "philanthropic" grants, from institutionally racist foundations (like the MacArthur Foundation, Ford Foundation, George Soros's Open Society Institute foundation, the Gates Foundation, Bloomberg Philanthropies, the Knight Foundation, Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Lannan Foundation, etc. and other liberal establishment foundations), by U.S. alternative media/left gatekeeper groups, left-liberal NGOs and left-liberal think-tanks is no substitute for creating a radically democratized society in the United States--which finally ends institutional racism and provides racial and economic justice for U.S. working-class people 2020:

"There is another cause of industrial discontent. This is the skillful attempt that is being made to substitute Philanthropy for Justice. There is not one of these foundations, now spreading their millions over the world in showy generosity, that does not draw these millions from some form of industrial injustice. It is not their money that these lords of commercialized virtue are spending, but the withheld wages of the American working-class."
