"they donated $73million to BLM"
I really shouldn't bother, since none of the fire-breathing leftists here want to challenge it...

"The actual amount that SVB donated to Black Lives Matter was zero."
"The reports are based on a database produced by the right-wing Claremont Institute. The database tracks pledges to groups that are associated with Black Lives Matter, including the BLM Global Network Foundation, The Movement for Black Lives, the BLM Foundation, the BLM PAC, BLM At School, independent local BLM chapters, and fiscal sponsors of BLM groups, including the Tides Foundation and Common Counsel Foundation. According to the database, the total amount that SVB gave to all of these groups is zero."
"So where does the $73 million figure come from? The database also includes "organizations and initiatives that advance one or more aspects of BLM’s agenda."
I'm guessing, using that metric "one or more aspects of BLM's agenda," if SVB had pledged a million dollars for scholarships to Howard University, that would count as "SVB contributions to BLM" (unless BLM opposes Howard University...)
