Business grant for Black women slammed as 'racially exclusionary' in federal court ruling

[Tunafish]

I have to agree. A grant for "black women". Does not seem equal. Where is the grant money for white women, or yellow women?

A federal appeals court temporarily blocked a grant program that prioritized funding businesses owned by Black women.

The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision to block an organization called the Fearless Fund from continuing to run the Strivers Grant Contest, which awarded grants of $20,000 to businesses that are at least 51% owned by Black women, calling the program "racially exclusionary," according to a report from ABC News.

The order reversed a ruling last week by U.S. District Judge Thomas W. Thrash, who last week declined to grant a request by the American Alliance for Equal Rights to block the program.

If it is private money I don't see how the courts can rule against the grants.

We really need to stop creating black monsters by catering to them so much. Everytime we kneel for them and give them special attention and treatment just for being black the more we encourage them to be shitty people that will get by on just being black.

If they want to be equals then it's time we started acting like they are
