They are doing so much damage to race relations. Everyone is going for symbolism over substance.

You want to help? Shut your mouth and go out into disadvantaged communities and listen to what they need and then help them get it.

Mentor a child, not just in education but in giving them and their parent(s) a sense of hope.

Teach money sense and great ways to save toward owning a home.

If you have money (are you listening NFL and NBA players) set up a way of helping deserving people get financing.

Help train young adults, set up your own personal apprenticeship program. If you are a plumber, an electrician, a carpenter, take a young person under your wing and train them. Some of these trades pay a lot more than a college degree.

Instead of virtue signalling & tearing down statues, maybe ESPN, BLM, DemonRats, the Left/Progressives & even the stinkers in Congress ... whoever is flapping their gums & kneeling these days, should actually DO something about situations like THIS, where limbs and LIVES could be saved:

The Black American Amputation Epidemic

Read it and weep - I did. After staving off T2D myself & working to help family/friends who have similar issues, this doctor has inspired me even further and I have some ideas that I plan to act on in the near future, outside the sphere of family/friends.

To own a home, first you have to have employment

To have employment, first you have to have skills that are usable & hireable.

To have skills, first you need to actually ATTEND SCHOOL & NOT have a criminal record.

Seems to me that most blacks go off the rails about 4th grade.
