  1. I am all for distressed communities getting assistance. With the funds and brainpower assembled, I hope the root cause of poverty, violence, and economic disparities is addressed. It’s beyond complicated, but this group can accomplish a lot if focus homes in on cause and effect. This can be accomplished only within the Black community. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. And, I do not mean abortions and killing Black babies through Planned Parenthood. Illegitimacy ranges between 75 and 80 per cent. I saw the concept of Black Dad gangs on television. Dads! Dads! Dads! Proclaiming “Enough is enough” is not enough.

  2. Great article – my sentiments exactly. Robert Woodson, Shelby Steele, Candace Owens, and IBJ’s own columnist Star Parker – among others – all get it. Leo Terrell has come around – welcome! Thank you for posting this link, Bob P.

  3. $100M is a lot of money to assist multi-generational ills. Concern for where and how the impact
    will help. Black fathers in the family, keeping guns from adolescent hands, respecting life in utero,
    and assisting law enforcement with testimony will be good for all, I think. Many millions have been
    tendered in WIC, Food stamps, Medicaid, and this has helped. Covid has accelerated so much in such little time!

  4. Doesn’t rising tides lift all boats.
    We know this is nothing less than a feel good message to deter the extortion of current Marxist movement. Lilly when it is not enough they will extort more.
    Big government and big business have used the black population as a pawn in a sinister game of population and people control. The rats die because they don’t know why the cheese is free.

  5. Steve, I resent the way Dems use Black people for the vote. Obama did nothing in his eight years. Really sad, as i had high hopes he would help. BLM is not for Black lives, but people think it is and don’t realize what that political party’s agenda is.

  6. Everyone’s comments here are so spot on. I hope that more people are coming around to grasping the “destructive initiative” that is undermining our republic. I am encouraged hearing people voicing their concerns as too many are afraid to raise their voice and stand against these (and many other) deceptions.
    I love our country, our freedom, rights & flag.
    Let’s fix what has not been carried out for the last 70 years, not tear it down.
