So tired of this amorphous term equity…
There is no such thing. Either all men (and woMEN) are created equal and, as such deserve equality of opportunity, or they are not… But, equity? That is the result of the individual’s decisions as to what they do with this opportunity. Of course there are differences in opportunity, but, if that were the only determining factor, we would never have the Hunter Bidens of the world. If we decide they are not, maybe the ability to vote can be reconciled to whether one pays income taxes or not?

Why is she re-inventing the wheel? They should come out and say it: All the charities that benefit minority communities and causes are run by… Read more »
Rectifying racial inequity one NBA game at a time… Smith said the most recent sign of strain in her educational non-profit dedicated to bridging the “racial academic achievement gap” in African American and Latino neighborhoods occurred over the weekend, when the Black Star Project took 40 young people to the NBA All-Star Game in Cleveland.“We didn’t have it in our budget. But we found a way to make it happen. The young people had an amazing time. [But], it was really, really a strain” on the budget, Smith said. According to IRS records, Black Star Project was running a $100,000… Read more »
One way to curtail giving is by hijacking the stated goals of the charitable organization to something else.
Fixed The Headline:
“Race-Hustling, Faketivist-Fraud-Posers Send Letter To Major Chicago Foundations, That Says: (1) You Are All Systematically Racist White Supremacists; And (2) Now Give Us Your Money”
