Why would people not want you to see this?

Good people trying to help their community is what ADULTS do.

Is that why you and others only talk about the shootings and claim that blacks don't care about such things? I know what adults do. You apparently don't.

Ummm. I don't start those sort of threads, and when I see good things like this I post them.

You see, dear child, I know the black community can do anything they set their mind to.

They just need to stop listening to race baiting whores, like you, who keep them in perpetual slavery.

A measly $110k?

That wouldn’t even cover the costs of one gunshot victim.

The thing that needs to be done is for you racists to STFU and recognize that nobody is doing the shit you imagine.

Yeah? Great! Then STFU because you are the worst racist here.

 

[IM2]

Yeah? Great! Then STFU because you are the worst racist here.

Wrong again. Racism has a definition and the definition does not say-a person who posts in opposition to the racism he sees written. Nor does the definition say fact based criticism of policies made by whites that excluded blacks. Nor does it say holding whites who currently exhibit that behavior, such as you, accountable for it. Your definition of racist is not the definition. It is your attempt to gaslight. So like I said-"The thing that needs to be done is for you racists to STFU and recognize that nobody is doing the shit you imagine."

When people talk about what the media does not show, start with this. Academies like this is why Pastor Brooks needs to build a supermarket instead of a community center.

You obviously agree with Clarance Thomas who believes every person is able to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps, and some personal moral shortcoming is the only reason why more aren't able to do that. You're too arrogant and uncaring to see that some need help to reach those bootstraps.

Look everyone!

Blacks engaging in social discourse in Chicago without drug dealings going down and gun fire!

It really is possible? How do we know that these photos are not doctored?

I wonder what their meals costs and drinks cost a couple.

Gotham had a lot of fundraisers too.....Just sayin'.

The place was still a shit-hole though.

People need to stop believing the right wing media.

Why do you limit it to the Right Wing Media... All you have to do is turn on the local news and hear horror stories of crime on the West and South sides, or how no one wants to go downtown anymore because of fear of getting mugged.

But some people held a fancy dinner to feel better about themselves.

Is that why you and others only talk about the shootings and claim that blacks don't care about such things? I know what adults do. You apparently don't.

Here's how we know they don't care. Because they haven't held Mayor Beetlejuice or Kim Foxx to account for them. The gangbangers can act with impunity now because they know nothing bad is going to happen to them.
