The parents of drowned black teen Nolan Wells have really made out, their GoFundMe is now over $700,000….
Damn, talk about winning the ghetto lottery!
A full hundred grand of that came from some 2G named Byron Allen, I had to look him up and apparently he is some “media mogul”: Byron Allen donates to Nolan Wells family, Tyler Perry pays for funeral
What exactly does his family need $700,000 (and climbing) for? Tyler Perry is paying for the funeral. Others are paying for the second, “independent”, autopsy.
So again I ask, why are they raising money?
Ah, that is where it gets tricky. GoFundMe money must be used in accordance with the stated goals of the fundraiser. According to the GoFundMe “Guarantee”
The funds must be “used for the stated purpose”. So if you raise money for medical bills, you can’t use those funds to buy a jet ski. In the GoFundMe for Nolan Wells we read….
Nothing helps a family “navigate the difficult days ahead” quite like a new big screen TV and perhaps an Escalade.
As with Karmelo “Watermelon Felon” Anthony’s GoFundMe, this little bit of intentionally vague language allows the family of Nolan Wells to raise money and then pretty much use it for whatever they want. Also like the Watermelon Felon, this GoFundMe is pulling in money because blacks automatically assume something nefarious happened rather than a simple drowning. There are plenty of black families with a dead child killed by another black that are actually struggling with funeral expenses but they don’t get any money because you can’t blame White people for the death of their child.
You can never fill the hole left in your heart when a child dies but some spinner rims and gold teeth certainly can’t hurt.
