The caucus of black New York state lawmakers run a charity whose stated mission is to empower “African American and Latino youth through education and leadership initiatives” by “providing opportunity to higher education” — but it hasn’t given a single scholarship to needy youth in two years, according to a New York Post investigation.

The group collects money from companies like AT&T, the Real Estate Board of New York, Time Warner Cable, and CableVision, telling them in promotional materials that they are “changing lives, one scholarship at a time.”

My former Congresswoman Corrine "Gata" Brown needs a cellmate.

Seriously though. They're not doing anything the Clintons didn't do, just on a much smaller scale and they weren't as good at it (or they just didn't have the right friends).

It is funny, but this is pretty common.

Being black, no one is supposed to look at the numbers...

When no one wants to talk, that’s a red flag.
Maybe the NY AG will quit chasing Trump and
investigate these corrupt crooks.

Where the hell is the IRS? Yeah... probably at some of these parties along with the rest of the crooks. Being a rat is a license to steal.

The New York AG is far too busy investigating/killing anything and everything Trump to bother with real scams like this one.

They found out all the kids who wanted scholarships were too dumb to get in to any colleges.

If you research, you’ll find that there are good charities out there who give the majority of the $$ donated. Samaritan’s Purse is an example.

Pretty bad when the Clinton Foundation looks charitable compared to them.

Their website is down, but here's a cached webpage:

ABPRL Non-Profit College Scholarship Program

If the story is true, it sounds terrible. Lots of students could've been helped with that money.
