I think the donation to the protesters was less about them trying to hide it and more of them not feeling the need to broadcast it. They've been open about donating to black causes in the past (katrina,sean bell,etc).
Your whole MJ point kinda makes my case, cuz like I said he was well in his 30s when he started doing that, and Bey is still in her early 30s. She's probably now just be getting to the point of her life/career where she's no longer worried about the backlash she's inevitably going to receive for being more vocal on the issues. I'm sure she's seen what happened to MJ.
I agree they do have power, but besides donating and highlighting the issues in their music, what else should they be doing?
