So why the controversy to begin with? The statue wasn't going to a museum, it was being sold/auctioned off to enrich black-specific programs. In order to diffuse the statue controversy that Bellemy started pimping last year, the city originally agreed to $4M worth of entitlement funding, including $50K for each black to get a ged, $50K annually for any black living at 80% below AMI "to have scholarships to go to our local community college", etc., because equality isn't enough - equity is the name of the game, according to the below interview. Except after the ink was dry in the paper, Bellemy wasn't satisfied. (I didn't see any mention as to how blacks are screened for their $50K-100K each annually). Here's Bellemy describing his little scheme (was it hatched at the Natl Ground Intel Center?):

So where we are now is right back to the same old, same old. Finger-pointing and racemongering is in full flame to distract us, when it's obvious it's well beyond time to have a serious national discussion, a discussion where more than one side is listened to. Or we can wait for it to escalate a little more and a little more and a little more until there will be nothing left to discuss and no one willing to listen.
