Perhaps its time, we here inTV, do something for our African American neighbors...especially in the so poor parts of Wildwood.
Just some suggestions...
Donate you next stimulus check to the Wildwood Food Pantry.
Volunteer at the food pantry.
Take some of your income and go to the black churches and donate it.
Drive into Wildwood and engage our neighbors in constructive, healing conversation.
We have all been blessed here...we need to do more for our brothers.
Does anyone else have some suggestions?

Tired of hearing about this stuff. Racism will always exist. But let’s be fair, it’s a small percentage of what it used to be. The people in wildwood can always try to get a JOB ! Which unfortunately now is probably very difficult. I e donated and been polite to EVERYONE I’ve ever met. I’m tired of be blamed for things that happened years ago. The police do a great job, but of course you say they are all bad because of the actions of a few.
