We have to stop making cacs out to be mythological creatures and acting like they can do things we can't. We can raise money for anything we want, black peoples priorities are just fukked up. We don't donate to shyt and there's too many crabs in a barrel.
I just watched this all black web series on YouTube and they're trying to raise money for more episodes. I'm gonna donate not necessarily because the shows was just so incredible, but because it's extremely important to support those that aren't portraying a fukked up image of ourselves.
We do too much complaining and too little action.
TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?

I hear you but just to set the record straight. I was not trying to imply the bolded. I always maintain the perspective that cacs have their lower/poor end as well. It may only seem lopsided because they have higher numbers (in America) and also, our lower/poorer end is always used to represent us as a whole.
I was just speaking to the fact that these fools really donation almost 100K over a plate of food.

Early Crowdfunding Success for Breakwater Chicago Complex
Posted on June 18, 2014 by Matt Diehl
Crowdfunding Goal Exceeded in 36 Hours
Crowdfunding has helped fuel the dreams of many entrepreneurs with radical or unconventional ideas. In fact, crowdfunding may be the only source of capital for these free-thinking visionaries because traditional angel investors won’t give them the time of day.
Beau D’Arcy is a perfect example. A Plainfield, IL native who now resides in Lincoln Park, D’Arcy holds a mechanical engineering degree from the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology and a graduate degree from Harvard Business School. While both degrees are worthy of esteem in their respected fields, D’Arcy has quickly become known for his most recent professional title: Founder and Project Manager of Breakwater Chicago.
Billed as a “floating luxury entertainment venue”, Breakwater Chicago is a 300×100 ft. vessel that plans to host pools, restaurants and lounges. It would be anchored about 1.25 miles offshore with breathtaking city views and offer docks for boaters and a ferry for the public. Breakwater would be used for a variety of entertainment purposes throughout the warmer months and anchored by the shore underneath a clear dome during winter to offer tropical fun in sub-zero temperatures.
Revolutionary ideas such as Breakwater are prone to cynical outrage and this particular project has certainly endured a ruthless onslaught in recent weeks. But no matter how dark or ominous the cynicism became, it has all been outshined by the most important key to success – money. Breakwater’s Kickstarter campaign was originally set for $30,000 and they managed to raise $38,160 in just 36 hours. If you need a model for early crowdfunding success – Breakwater Chicago is surely worthy of mention.
However, it is important to know this first campaign is a far cry from the projected $23 million the completed project will cost. The first round will be used to create a “3D video experience that will show everybody what a visit to (the) vessel will be like.” The next round is planned to be used to create a 1:100 scale model to accompany the 3D video.
Rockstar Team + Professional Proposal + Exposure = Crowdfunding Success
The voyage to complete funding may have just begun for Breakwater Chicago, but their early crowdfunding success does prove that even the most radical ideas can take off. All you need is a team of intelligent and ambitious people, a clear and concise proposal of your goals and enough exposure so the right people (i.e. those who will invest) know your idea is out there. D’Arcy offered this statement about his crowdfunding experience so far: “The uniqueness of the project really (has) drawn people to it…..we’ve been completely blown away by the support.”
Crowdfunding platforms such as Kickstarter are reward-based crowdfunding. For example, on the Breakwater Chicago campaign, if you pledge $500 or more you “receive a lifetime VIP card for Breakwater, good for cutting in line, free admissions and other cool perks.” Pledging $100 or more will get you “a VIP invite to our exclusive Kickstarter pre-launch party at Breakwater.”
But what if you want a piece of the company instead of a VIP pass or one night of partying? Some investors may be attracted to the short-term perks of reward-based crowdfunding, but seasoned investors want a real piece of the action – and that’s what equity crowdfunding will soon offer you.
