Forget it, Jake, it's Chinatown Oakland.

It might be time to open a meth store in O-Town! I got a feeling business is gonna start booming.

Of 10k whites descended on city hall they’d brand it a riot, a riot caused by Trump loyalists.

[plain talk]

Supreme Court.

The left wants to push whites into believing that our very bsurvival is at stake, so we tribalize and become oppressors of the nation.

We need to unite with other Christians, of all races, and push the Christian agenda instead to put an end to it.

You could give them 500,000 one time, and in a year IT WOULD BE EXACTLY AS IT WAS BEFORE.

Drug money, compliments of the lame taxpayers of that sinful city.

The program is privately funded...

But bakers have to make gay cake.

[and that’s the way they want us to go...]

Zimbabwe is on the way.

Just need a 100 Trillion banknote or whatever.

[blueplum]

wait - under $59K a month? why isn’t this going to social security level poverty people? $59K you don’t need free money

"It probably is not illegal for private parties to do this."

I'd think it is blatantly illegal, even if by a private organization.

IIRC, there was a case from a man's will written in the 1960s that set aside money for scholarships for poor white kids.

The guy died decades later, and a court ruled that illegal.

So if this is allowed to benefit everyone *except* whites, seems like it should be illegal as well.

Clearly unconstitutional for a government entity to violate the 14th amendment equal protection clause by singling out one racial class and to pay a government benefit and deny another racial class in the same condition that benefit based on the color of their skin. Hopefully someone is ginning up a lawsuit to enjoin this, otherwise this travesty will visit every blue city in the country.

Obviously unconstitutional.
But the poor are hard-pressed to take it to court.
