I’m gonna keep it funky, if he has raised upwards of 3.4m that is fully accounted-for & delivered as-promised.. I don’t care about a $160k kick-back. The CEOs of some non-profits take home upwards of $200k annually. There is a whole arm of accounting that dictates the salary you are allowed to pay yourself as the…

thru but that’s how much an associate director would make at a non profit that didn’t pull in half as much and also. Plus did people really think that this should be done for free? this is a grown man with a family. If he is spending all of his time shining light on horrific experience poc have faced and mobilized…

It actually sounded like the $160k was compensation, not taken from donations but from capital raised or a grant which wouldn’t be problematic necessarily, unless the expectation is that an activist can never profit from their activism which is kind of crazy. I have nothing to add about all the other shit but the…

Its modest when you are bringing in 100s of thousands, and also alot of heads of other non profits can make up to twice as much so its modest by comparison. Not modest compared to minimum wage.

I can’t pretend to know all the info, but I can say this:

Great reporting! Thanx for sorting this and condensing it; I don’t have the memory or the patience for what seems like silly sniping.

That’s not even 50 thousand a year. If this was a regular job it would pay about $25 an hour, that’s not terrible but it’s modest. And if this is before taxes then it’s actually a low paying job.

In terms of black activism and the black struggle, this is par for the course. We’ve seen such squabbles & internecine nonsense before, and if Shaun King is a true student of our history he’d know that the more high profile & successful he becomes, the more slings & arrows will head his way. Without comparing them,…

Yes but on the other hand, none of the allegations against Shaun King actually come from the families hes said hes helped. He even includes statements from them in his rebuttal saying he never did anything wrong. 

No convictions to be courageous about.  This was a publicity stunt through and through.

I … I don’t understand...
- dude makes anti-Semitic jokes
- dude gets shit for it, rightfully
- dude says he’s going to donate to ADL as a way to take responsibility
- some idiots on the internet don’t like this
- he decides not to donate to them, as a way to... take responsibility??

I feel like I’m missing a piece of logic…

Have you ever worked in your life? Like, anywhere? All industries have people who fear expressing themselves for they believe they might get fired for doing so. If you don’t know this, it means you are either self-employed or have never worked a day in your life.

So the next time this dude claims sincerity, we’re just supposed to buy it wholesale, right?

Real courage of your convictions there, Pewds.

Like seriously what the fuck kind of industry exists where talking about a workplace can lead to fucking “retribution”?

Sounds like Nicalis is run by a 14 year old

The OC has a reputation of being a very conservative and racist place to live and work in SoCal. That doesn’t justify his actions, but I wonder if that has anything to do with him being the way he is. It’s gross either way.

Of all the “game development company is actually a cesspool” stories, this is the least surprising to me. Well, maybe second least surprising, behind Rockstar.

As a Lions fan I am forced to similarly point out that the Texans have won one playoff game in seventeen years. The Lions last playoff win came ten years before the Texans were born.

I’m 49 and I can’t even imagine what I’ll be like at 53 years and 263 days old.
