Yesterday Lego announced that it would be donating four million dollars to “organizations dedicated to supporting black children and educating all children about racial equality.”

That includes more than 30 LEGO building sets including sets that involve police officers, firefighters, criminals, emergency vehicles, and buildings.

I love it that the "Donut Shop Opening" play set is on this list, but I'm not sure LEGO is sending the right message.
