Sooner or later you have to pull your head out of the sand. “It is what it is”,”life is too short”, “let it be and move on”, blah, blah, blah, seems to be coming up more and more nowadays in response to this kind of BS. Wonder what it would be like today if that was the attitude of our Founding Fathers in response to British rule

You are a huge amount of programs that are specifically for poor people as well as minorities, whatever you wanted to define the minority as. While the vaccination program itself itself is short in development, there are already many people claiming discrimination by color and location for the setup of the vaccination sites. I know for a fact that there are special groups of medical professionals that have gotten allocations to give to poor communities. Are you worried about that as well. Are you worried that you haven't gotten your vaccination because a black person will get it first? That's discrimination also and prejudication. Keep in mind many groups get many things that white people do not get. There are laws on the books that create pockets of favoritism who are blacks and other minorities SBA loans for one college admission for another and let's not forget indigenous Indian and their reservations get money that we do not get. We have had the invisible white privilege for a long time. We are lucky to live in America and have so much there's so many other people do not have.

What about BLM? They take in Millions of dollars in donations, but very little, if any, of that money goes to help Blacks, except for the top brass, buying million dollar houses on California’s coast. When asked, it was reported that the money goes for salaries and advertising and organizing. Must be nice.

Willfully blind does not excuse bad behavior
Living life is easy with your eyes closed

But what about your grandson John who is trying to get a job 30 years from now but is flat out told no because he is white? And because our generation stood by and did nothing now! it is now socially acceptable to be biased against white in droves and he has no cause to fight it.
This is going to have a major impact on our grandchildren, mark my word.

Agree 100%

If you were NOT upset then you need to look within yourself and re-evaluate your post and who you are.

Please list the donors that got shots before everyone else
Please show the number that blacks are dying here in the USA faster then whites from the virus
Please show me we’re blacks were denied vaccinations
I am not into people stated comments without backup prove

Generational poverty is at the crux of the problem of economic disparity which disproportionately affects our black citizens. Discrimination was the genesis of this injustice but subsequent government polices have condemned their progeny to be mired in economic despair.

This is because the mission was not to remedy but to exploit the situation. Angry and disillusioned people are very easy to manipulate especially when it comes to voting.

For this reason we may never see effective government polices instituted such as school choice and enterprise zones which would help native minorities match the success of black immigrants.
