General R.K. Mellon and Andrew are rolling in their graves this morning. It's hard for me to believe this is happening to a great old Foundation. But, look who they hired! She'll drain the foundation dry unless stopped.

Just build giant trophies saying ‘This is for all of YOU, voters! because you’re the best! And dog gone it, people LIKE you!”

Did you see the movie “Demolition Man?” People stand in front a machine that compliments them.

Yes. A sci-fi movie that I love. It is full of little things that I can easily see in our future.

“Christopher Columbus who has been denounced for his atrocities against indigenous people.”

No thanks, Columbus' contributions to discovering America for people who built it far outweigh Mellon's snowflake concerns.

Alexander has headed the foundation for the last two years and comes to the position with a background in African American studies and poetry. While at a previous position at the Ford Foundation she helped create an art initiative to address the problem of mass incarceration, and she recited a poem she’d written titled “Praise Song for the Day” at Barack Obama’s 2009 presidential inauguration.

Who the heck has a background in: African American studies and poetry? And now runs a multi billion foundation. We can see where this is heading.

Who the heck has a background

Notice it is called a background, not an education. Sometimes these leftist get things correct - just like a broken clock is correct twice a day.

This is why perpetual foundations are a bad idea. You are blindly sending money into the future. I just read that JRR Tolkiens foundation has met a similar fate.

My liberal lawyer acquaintance has a white daughter that majored in Black Studies. Isn’t that trendy?

America is so racist...

I’m sure her studies and work are very difficult.
Similar to a PhD in ChemE at MIT, an MBA from Harvard, or earning your Trident from the SEALs...

Stallone, Sandra Bullock, Benjamin Bratt, and Rob Schneider all in one scene.
You will never, ever see that again...
