re: poliboard existentialism

I thought you were referring to BLM but they didn't have billions of dollars of donations.

The Washington Post estimates $50 billion was pledged by giant corporate donors alone to address racial inequality between mid-2020 and mid-2021.

Pledges aren't the same as receipts.

The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (BLMGNF) did not collect billions, but it did raise roughly $90 million in 2020 following George Floyd's murder, according to AP News reports. By mid-2021, the nonprofit held $42 million in assets, The New York Times reported. While millions were spent on grants, consulting, and real estate, the organization faced scrutiny over its financial management, including the purchase of a $6 million California mansion, Fox8 reported.

I already called this a grift. I'm not sure what else you're looking for me to say about it.

quote:

---

Nope. I said it’s an open-enrollment school. Anyone can go to there.

---

Has it ever had slots open during open Enrollment?

See here you go again with trying to not admit to the plain truth, it heavily biases for local children, so anyone could go there, assuming they win a long shot lottery.

You used the term open enrollment, which has a meaning.

Hundreds of applications with few slots, with many of the slots reserved for NIMBY rich families. And seemingly other slots reserved for people trying to get their children into IEP slots (gifted or autistic? Both?).

So yes, as anyone could hit the lottery, but they only get in via lottery, not via open Enrollment.

And yes, there is a very low probability that a kid could get in, but open Enrollment implies that they can get in and for the vast majority they can't.

A much more accurate phrasing is that you children's school has a lottery that allows a few poor kids a shot at attending, though most wont.

It happens quite a bit. We’ve been very lucky.

---

So its never had any slots actual open for open enrollment.

Do you understand why you are not truthful.

You school is elite, in an elite neighborhood where even the local kids might have to move down to a lower ranked school.

Jimmy was right,

quote:

---

My guess is that your kids go to a school that is pretty much an enclave of privilege.

---

You getting your kids in denies lower income black parents a chance to get their kids into that school.

Have you visited this guy in jail yet? Did you give up on him?

Its amazing how hard you fight to deny what everyone knows about your unearned wealth.

Your shite talking to Sally just tells us that there were a lot of things bought for you on someone elses money.

We all know about what you are paid as a mid level city bureaucrat, we know you can't afford a life you say you have.

So where does that couch/home/degree/maid/piano lessons money you spend come from?

We all know you cant balance the budget on what you make.

You want to pretend to be this self supporting boss, but thats just fantasy, you are as dependent on others money as anyone here.

No one wants to engage in your dishonest fantasy while you trash women who are good wives and moms.

Every single one of your assaults could be levied against the Virgin Mary, who's greatest glory was being a mother.

You really went to AI for help? this is one of the MANY blm and "racial justice" organizations.

now that's what I call grasping at straws. You think if these corporations didn't pay up they would be let off the hook?

quote:

---

Another group, "The Movement for Black Lives" emerged to replace BLM after it decimated its own reputation.

Got a link to their national scholarship funds? Their diversion programs? Education programs? After school programs? Legal assistance funds? Job training organizations? Medical reimbursement programs or clinic establishments?


I mean Danny Thomas built a hospital in Memphis, TN that treats kids with cancer worldwide with his own efforts, fundraising, and charity. In the 60's. It's still operating.

So what did the actual disenfranchised do with 10s of billions?

I think she said he fled from the cops.

---

My reading was that he was somehow forced to plead to that, but really did something else. Of course, the suggestion was that this was pleading UP to to that as something worse than he really did cause that’s how they did it on Law and Order.

So, who the heck knows?

Could be. I wasn't paying real close attention.

This is the correct answer. Nobody knows whether anything she said is real.

Or even whether she's SFP or not.

It’s very easy and comfortable for people who aren’t around “a certain demographic” to cast judgment from places of privilege but y’all just don’t know what some people are up against.

I just looked at her and said “Trump doesn’t have to face the consequences of his actions. My student does. I don’t care about Trump. I care about people with skin in the game.”

Trump is going to be fine

What laws has Trump broken? What laws did your repeat offendor felon commit?

BTW none of my student's charges or convictions are violent and he's still stuck in pre-trial detention because cash bail doesn't always make sense.

Why doesn't it make sense?

Ummm... from your OP:

It’s very easy and comfortable for people who aren’t around “a certain demographic” to cast judgment from places of privilege but y’all just don’t know what some people are up against. And as much as this board loves to deny that systemic issues exist, the obstacles are systemic and they are not addressed by message board lectures about personal responsibility.

10s OG billions were made available for this. Now you are desperately trying to separate portions of your original "a certain demographic".

Did you look at their 990 to confirm they received the pledges?

You mean the ones many organizations didn't timely file and then omitted many assets and expenditures??


Whoops
