Geez people, this kid is a conservative superstar on twitter
He gets to decide what charitable cause he supports
About 40% of black businesses wiped out since Feb wont be coming back
That is staggering

He raised the money, his choice. If anyone here feels slighted they can raise the money and give it to anyone they like.

I was calling the concern for white businesses stupid. The kid raised money for a cause that he chose. Voluntary donations and his voluntary work. It’s the perfect thing to honor and priase.

“Why just black-owned?”

Apparently because CJ Pearson is a racist.

But he’s the good kind of racist, so no objections will be tolerated.

“Making a charitable donation is racist?

Maybe you need your head examined.”

Depends on the charity.

Why don’t you donate $10,000 to a charity whose only purpose is to help rebuild WHITE-owned businesses damaged by looting. Do it very publicly.

You’ll likely need your head examined. Not by a shrink, but by a trauma surgeon or an undertaker.

For goodness sakes, FReepers.
CJ Pearson us a young, black, male conservative activist.
He’s been doing the same sort of thing as Candace Owens & Terrence
Williams for YEARS.
He aims his *conservative* efforts at *black* people as an intentional counterpoint to the Democrat narrative.
He knows what he’s doing.
He’s a black kid helping black businesses & y’all are attacking him.
Sheesh.

Stupid is as stupid does. This is a great example of the level of critical thinking spawned in our schools. So someone burns down their home, do we reward them with cash to rebuild? The advice given to bush before the Iraq invasion: you break it you own it is appropriate here.

Point taken but I think the difference here is that the funds were privately raided. To the best of my knowledge, no government funds were used so he can use them however he sees fit. My point is we should NOT be celebrating anybody who only helps one particular race and ignores all others. That by definition is racist.

That was my inference too.

Although he’s still a teenager, CJ Pearson is a well known online MAGA personality.

He crowd-funded the donations from his large base of supporters.
