I had to stop reading after the first sentence. CLAIMING? Do you see the news? Do you see the youth being killed over BS? The other day 3 officers were fired for being overheard talking about how they'd like to slaughter more Blacks. This is a horribly racist nation It feels like we are back in the 60s. We need leaders in this nation, not dividers.

In response to Lois, “did your dad fit”. Nobody fits in another culture, race, etc. as well as the members of that group. There are so many Black athletes, entertainers, politicians, etc., to imply that Blacks don’t fit in in this day and time is absurd.
And no my dad didn’t always fit, he was white, from Oklahoma, and lived in California. I heard “Okie”, as well as insulting language towards people from the south for 50 years of my 67 years.
As for community college money ( where I attended and now able to live in the Villages), it comes from the $4,500. a year I pay in property taxes and 13% state taxes in California.

If there are any why isn't the media championing these individuals?

I used to live near Ft. Campbell, KY. As with any area around a military base there are foreign born spouses that married a military person. There is a large group of Koreans in that area and they help each other, a very tight group. If one of them wants to borrow money they do not go to a bank, there are people in the group that will lend the money to them. They help each other when starting a business by patronizing that business or working for the new business owner. When one gets sick someone steps in and helps them out where ever necessary.

Instead of taking a knee put your money where your mouth is and do something that will really help fellow blacks. Just like the Hollywood types that emcee a charity fund raising event. I remember one was asked how much they donated and the response was they were donating their time to emcee the show. Can't part with that money, it's mine.

Maybe the well off people in America's Friendliest City could start a Telethon to help out BLM
