Not to detract from your intention here, but having my wife attacked by a BLM protester because she is white has definitely turned me away from this particular group. All lives matter no matter the color.

You know it wasn't Black Lives Matter that attacked your wife, right? It was an angry individual. I am 100% certain that the organization did not want to attack white people because they're white. 

 You know it wasn't all cops that attacked George right? It was 1 bad cop. I am 100% certain that not all cops wanted to kill him because he was black.

Ever heard the phrase "A bad apple spoils the bunch"?

Sure, most cops are good, but there are too many bad ones. The bad ones ruin the community's overall view on all cops. 

 Yes, but you can now say that about BLM though about the looting. That is the problem on both sides is the extreme view we have because a smaller portion is doing something the majority does not. 

But those two "bads" aren't comparable. African Americans are getting murdered and abused with little to no consequence on the few police that abuse their power. The rioters are breaking and burning objects. 

 Burning buildings down, stealing and assaulting people in cities across the US (also London and Toronto) is not as bad, so therefore acceptable? Two wrongs don't make a right. Also the largest group in the US that are killing Black Americans are other Black Americans. What should be our recourse? Start looting only black american businesses? Burn down their stores? Of course not. Why? because it is not productive, a peaceful protest would be though. But because of those not as "bad apples" we are recycling the narrative. People are now going to have a growing temptation to associate BLM with domestic terrorists like Antifa because of what some are electing to do in this time where we as humans could be coming together. MLK only met with Malcom X once because he did not support the method and image the Black Panthers were portraying as it was giving the wrong representation of the Black American community. 

 the largest amount of crimes against any one group is always going to be from that group bcuz groups tend to live together, it is completely irrelevant to bring up intragroup crime rates in a discussion about a authority body murdering people of a minority group. 

Moderators, please consider locking this thread.

People who claim that D&D Beyond shouldn't be making "political" statements are themselves using this thread to make political statements.

I would like to thank the D&D Beyond team for doing the right thing.

Do you stand with the rioters?

General question.  Is there a list somewhere that outlines everything D&D Beyond supports or donates money to?  This makes me want to know where my subscription money goes.

 Yes please, great question!

I agree. No one is politicizing this except the people who choose to see a political stance here. Closing the thread is a good idea, but I could see why they wouldn't want to do that. 

Thank you moderators and D&D Beyond staff.

I don't stand with the rioters, but I at least understand why they're doing what they are doing. I sympathize with the people who have been abused by the police for too long, and have had enough.

 i do stand with the rioters because it has been shown that people aren't listening to peaceful protests

"Do you stand with the rioters or do you stand with the murderers of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Philando Castile, Tamir Rice, etc etc?" is a false dichotomy.  It's in all of our interests to not let our police departments be turned into an apparatus of violence directed at our fellow citizens.

Only half?

Wording on things like this is sometimes tough, but the idea is with dice sales this week, we are donating our profits after our costs are paid. I assure you, the intent is to get as much money as we can quickly to those that need it.

 Thanks for clarifying this, Adam. Seeing the cause was the only reason I'd pay more than $2.99 for something like this. I briefly felt I'd been had when I saw half after making the purchase.

 our police departments already are an apparatus of violence directed at our fellow citizens

Quote from Khanthiilas >>

I have friends that have been beaten to within an inch of there lives by members of that movement before you stand toe to toe in solidarity with groups it would be wise to research the harm they inflict on others a movement that stands for equality for all human beings is something I will support but I will not support Black Lives Matter because they have on occasion been racist and violent to other African American people who don’t agree with them, they also support the violence against other people who they don’t even know based on race they are no better than ANTIFA. How about you give the proceeds to George Floyd’s family or to the countless African American and Hispanic peoples whose shops were burnt down. To say I’m disappointed is an understatement.

 

I have a friend who was beaten to within an inch of his life by the police for being in the wrong skin at the wrong time.  

 Really well just like the bad cops who murdered George I hope he gets thrown in jail I don’t advocate violence against anyone but blaming a race and/or a profession for a few bad eggs is crazy, so my friend traces his family all the way back to the first slave ships brought over from Africa he mentioned that Africans sold his family into slavery not Europeans so it’s wrong to blame all people with lighter skin and BLM didn’t like his story. He is a great friend and a awesome human being we are the perfect example of multiracial friendship. I don’t like racial shit it’s there to divide us when it would be better for us to be working together I would of thought Dnd of all games would of taught us that. 

I don’t mean to disrespect you but in my experience you don’t get equality by exterminating a different set of people and dividing the country you get it by standing together and saying enough is enough. BLM have spewed hate and intolerance not only to people of different shaded skin but also their own shaded skin toned people who say they don’t condone BLM for its extremist views. I won’t support them go watch YouTube and see their hate for yourself. 

4 cops dude if you stand there and do nothing while your co worker kills someone your just as guilty no self respecting decent person stands by idly while a man is in distress

 You understand that's kind of why they're protesting, right? The 3 other cops are still free. Sure, they got fired, but that isn't near enough of a punishment. They are all guilty, and should be arrested. I'm sure these riots won't end until that happens. 

This is an excellent move for a just cause. Things like this make me proud to be a part of the community which the D&D Beyond team has created.

Thank you for speaking out and donating to such an important cause!

 Ummmmm???? You guys brought the political debate on to your website. And then you tell people they can't discuss the topic that you brought up?? Wow, was there any thought put into this at all??

I can't support violence no matter what the reason or cause. So no dice for me...

Quote from LeviRocks >>

Republicans tried to stop the civil rights movement, so I think it makes sense that a bit of their agenda aligns with democrats. 

 

 You should maybe pick up a history book sometime...

Wow. You can wait to buy them if you want them, and are adamant on not supporting Black Lives Matter.
