Did you know that your donations to the America Red Cross went towards?

Snacks and water stations for protesters of the Jena 6. Al Sharpton calls for a civil rights protest of an arrest of 6 black males, some of which had previous arrests for assault. When they are prosecuted for the 6 beating 1 white high school student to the ground and then stomping his head.

I've been giving to the Red Cross for many years through an automatic payroll deduction from my retired pay check through combined federal campaign (CFC)

Never in my many years would have thought that the American Red Cross supplies Al Sharpton's protesters with support. Al Sharpton is a fake. I'm not even sure he is a minister as he claims to be. Should the Red Cross be supporting his anti white agenda with donation dollars. I don't think so... What do you think?

Read this article.

you would have thought a person would have shut up after looking like a fool for all the crap he said about the duke lacross players and then having the allegations almost undeniably proven to be completely false

and to the people contesting that, youre right... it doesnt say anything about the redcross in there. i read the article earlier and i know the author is telling the truth, that was in there apparently it got pulled from the article. i wonder if the red cross didnt like the publicity

I agree with you. I think they should only be using the money to help innocent people that are dealing with a diaster. It sounds like you are saying that they provided water or something for the protesters?

If you have any links for info on this please post. I am interested, if found to be true I will never donate a penny to them again.

Oh that is awful. I have always thought Sharpton was an idiot. I can't believe Red Cross would participate; that event was not a national disaster. People can bring their own water and snacks to something like that. Grrrrrr.

No- not when the Red Cross's job is to supply assistance at disaster sites.

I better see the Red Cross at my darn Christmas Parade handing out coffee then by George.

Maybe they believe this rally to be a disaster? Idk

You have been misinformed by obviously someone who doesnt like the American Red Cross. Our Funds go towards Disaster Services and Educating our communities in Health & Safety.

Where in the Article does it mention the American Red Cross?

I dont mean anything mean by the comments I have posted I just think that This article really needs to be looked into and studied before deciding that American Red Cross is indeed supporting the protesters. To me all this article is doing is speaking out for everyone when in reality this is only one person's opinion. And I think I've must've read the wrong article because I am having a hard time finding the American Red Cross in there. And of course I am not saying to believe me over a well known site, I just wanted to express some thoughts.

The link you provide does not contain that language anywhere in the article and I cannot find that info in any Google or other online search.

So, questioning your source is legitimate.
