  1. On a moving forward basis, one must ponder the solution and how to get results. A Black conservative on t.v. discussed what he called “Baby Mamas.” Dems push for Planned Parenthood (abortion) in low income areas, and I find this repugnant. Let’s call it pro-death as opposed to pro-life.

    Why not focus on and at least include the nation’s no-so-sordid history?

    Not all whites or Blacks should go to college. This is a simple fact. Vocational training needs to be an attractive option, as all IQs, or abilities, are not the same. This college for everyone is a problem in the high schools. One charter’s motto was “College or Die.” Really?

    “Systemic racism” is trending, but I have encountered this only in a neighborhood in a certain part of town where I taught for a while. After 18 years in diverse schools, I never saw racism among the students or the staff. L & L (Lumina and Lilly) need to focus on the scourge of illegitimacy and how to restore fatherhood. That’s my assignment.

  2. Are they kidding, all, any low income kid has to do, is get average or better grades, have decent attendance , graduate with no felonies. You have to WORK at it. no matter what race, sex, or religion you are.
    Would this group be able to find racism if they don’t know this. If you’re not willing to work at it, it’s not racism.

  3. The L & L group and their expenditures are outrageous. Until this group has worked in the inner city, it’s a charade. They mean well but are totally uniformed. Lilly – really ? Most libs are scared of inner city people, whom they call “folks.” For example, some kids from a large, diverse high school were having their prom downtown. My friend, being lib, actually said, ” ooh, I can’t believe _____________private parochial school, will be downtown the same night as _____________large, diverse high school, where I, as a Republican, taught. Said lib, “This is awful.’ Typical.

  4. You are both very on point! All this money being thrown at (“pledged”? ha) for social justice & reform is a joke. Lots of money will be randomly spent for little to no effect, yet makes the company look socially conscious. WHY HAVEN’T TAX DOLLARS AND SOCIAL PROGRAMS WORKED FOR THE LAST 60 YEARS?? How about looking into the accountability & implementation of why this doesn’t/hasn’t worked? How about the thought process that elected officials are not doing ANYTHING they were entrusted to do by their constituents? All these commissions, advisory committees….all talk no action. Create an oversight committee, throw money at the situation & stick their heads back in the sand. THAT is a large component at the root of these issues. Private sector filling in the gaps of government…too many chefs

  5. First and foremost there is NO systematic racism and if there is “We the People” need someone to identify it specifically. Like all problems until you know what you are trying to fix you are just throwing resources at it with no change. Until the fundamentals in the Black Community are addressed
    L & L is just throwing dollars out to community organizers and they can go away beating their chest and say look what we have done. Hundreds of billions have been spent on this exact issue and the problems continue. My questions is do the Lumina and Lilly’s of the world really want to fix the problem? And if so how was the $15,000,000.00 determined to be the fix? If there is systematic racism then why does Russell Wilson have a 70 million dollar contract and I am barely scraping by on the interest he earns. Oh he has more talent, athleticism and can read a defense in 10 seconds, and that is what the market bears for his talent, hmmmm who would of thought that was the case.
