I am not defending the substance of the program because UBI does not seem sound to me, but you need to get your facts straight

1. The funds are provided by a private foundation.
2. Only half of the grants are restricted to Blacks.

Private foundations can discriminate? Maybe the baker in Colorado needs to change his corporation to a foundation.

I have never seen charities defined as public accommodations, but it is an interesting point/question.

While a private fund can give money as they see fit, is the government is involved in any way it’s against the law...even hank knows that

White people are such pussies

Stop the insanity by suing the frick out of them. And where are all the Scumbag lawyers? Easy wins out there, just grow a set and beat the frick out of these asinine politicians.

They shouldn’t be restricted or allocated to any one group disproportionately to another. We have a term for that.

It's confusing - depending on which article you read - if the racial restrictions are real, or if they're targeting non-whites by using income levels.

At this point, the likelihood of finding bigfoot in California greatly exceeds the possibility of finding a sane Democrat there.

Still by definition, racial discrimination.

I'll never understand the modern progressive - spoken by a former liberal.

Intellectually inconsistent and biased as frick. Racial discrimination is bad. There's no excuse or explanation that makes it ok.
