OK, y’all…..
I was waiting to get the permission of a black poster (he doesn’t post very frequently) with whom I had this very discussion previously - offline. He told me he is involved in helping black businesses off the ground via an incubator-type organization, along with involvement in other related good projects. (I can’t recall the specifics of all the projects, but it’s the same concept: taking action to help one’s own community.)
I didn’t credit him before this with the idea of “blacks helping black communities” because I didn’t want to violate his confidence, but I checked with him and he gave me the all-clear.
So….now that you know a black poster, who will remain unnamed, is behind these types of things, does that change the minds of others on this thread who called me a racist or Hitler for saying the very same things?
