they tell us to pull ourselves up by the bootstraps and they steal our boots so it will never happen
what?
Black Wall Streets sprung up all over this country within 25-40 years after slavery. They existed in racially segregated communities because that is what white people wanted back then. When they saw former slaves and their descendants being happy and prosperous on their own, they still couldn't handle it. It made them angry.
Ain't no what you know exactly what is being said
@@politicallil7060 End any and all race-based policies and laws.
@@politicallil7060 nope, End any and all race-based policies and laws.
People act like they don't see it but you'd have to be blind deaf and dumb not to see the disparady.
disparady in education, in fatherless homes, in unwed births, in crime, ALL OF WHICH ARE CHOICES EACH PERSON MAKES AND A COMMUNITY THAT RIDES ON RACISM SUPPORTS
Those are issues in communities outside of Black communities as well. So your point. @@bjwnet397
The disparity it self inflicted at this point. Stop acting like we live in the Jom Crow south. Black folks out here doing whatever they want in 2024
Dei is for weak people, get rid of it. Pull yourself up like the rest of us.
And the rest of us from every other race is tired of the whining.
This lawsuit is nuts! Ths grant program is very needed.
They just trying to break the fund making it spend all its money fighting a law suit.
@TrishTruitt, Let me understand your (illogical logic). It's okay if she discriminates against people based on their gender and race. But, it's (not) okay for others to discriminate against her, based on her gender and race ? Did I understand you correctly ? Hypocrisy at it's finest.
@@magicworld3242Yet you’re not questioning why less than half a percent of venture capital grants aren’t going to non whites? You’re a hypocrite.
I hope your work continues. And if this fails, I know you will find away to help black women around the world. Cheers 🍻
Wishing for nothing but success for the Fearless Fund! ❤️❤️❤️
Such a beautiful woman. So well-spoken and a great representative of the needed work. I pray this program prevails!
nope, End any and all race-based policies and laws.
@@arktos298that means for all groups of people that have created the same type of programs, in which if they look like you I’m sure you believe it’s fair. And it’s their God given right to so. You only have an issue when it’s bp. That’s the truth. You don’t wouldn’t care if it benefited wp. Bp built this country. Died in wars defending this country. They are American just as much as you are. Stop terrorizing them.
She speaks well if she has common sense. Hope you speak so well.
@@arktos298 That only works if people stop racism.But they're not going to stop being racist towards us.
@@beadoll8025 enjoy the skin game russian troll
Watch the technique! He got her to agree that this is a big test case to set her up to also agree that she's working towards making her company unnecessary. He thought she would slip up, didn't expect her to be conscious enough to ask him to reword his question. Look at her eyes when she said one more time 😂 she knew what he was doing.
And did! Bring on the trillions.
Ms. Simone needs a talk show. She is so smooth!! I could see her as a co-host on The View someday.
Talk to BET
WP tell BP to pull themselves up from their bootstraps. When they do, they get sued. 😑 Gaslight much!
MAKE RACIST COMMENTS MUCH
@bjwnet397 No reality much

The Crap what this country has put black people through and it continues....
I wrote this on a similar video but, she needs to do what they do. Remove any mention of race from all documents and then keep doing what you're doing.
Yea it’s an option
If the US government can give American tax payers money to all nationalities except for black people, why can’t we give money to whom we want? Make it make sense!
Loans are based on performance and accountability, not race. Perform as well as those getting the loans and you'll be granted the same. Don't fail the task and expect the risk to be taken on you. Content of character, learn how to use it to benefit yourselves and stop blaming others for your failures.
Tell that to the black farmers that work full time as such, but many banks want to see them have an actual 9 to 5 job on paper! I thought farming would be a 9 to 5 job!
What the “Fearless Fund” does is important. The lawsuit is baseless and absolutely ridiculous. The plaintiffs are the some group that funded the case that ended affirmative action in higher education.
They that afraid the fund gonna work and grow black business so we can employ our own people.
It takes a fearless woman like herself to win the battle.👍
Glad she is losing.
Edward Bloom wants to return to Jim Crow. Let's stop BSing ourselves.
If the playing field was leveled there would not be a need to help those left behind.
The playing field is leveled.
@@Cuzndr3w
How can the playing field be level if you just got in the game after being denied for so centuries?
@@simshill295 How'd the Jewish and Asian people do immediately and aren't looking for handouts or preferential treatment? Why is that?
@skipads8784 It’s not looking for a handout. These people are starting a business and being granted the funds to do it! You can’t start a business without funds, right? Or do you not understand that! She’s being attacked because she helps women of color! White only businesses did this for years and no one said a thing! Now blacks want to help their own and the racists have a problem with that!
@@skipads8784
They both got handouts,reparations,etc while the most discriminated group gets nothing.
You can't fix a problem by simply ignoring it!
You also can't create a prosperous community by constantly solving their problems for them.
They need to learn to do it themselves. That's how you create strength, not handicap.
They ain’t solving anything! These lawsuits are the problem!
@@davidshakarisaz6364umm she literally was trying and your folk knocked it down
So the person that filed the lawsuit is trying to use the Civil Rights Act of 1866? 😂 . I know that Byron Allen is watching this lawsuit closely 😂😂😂
How to apply for the grant
THAT IS A FAMU RATTLER!
Wow!!!! Thank you
If you start the PAC millions of US will contribute. It is time for US to beat them at their own game. 🙏🏿🤴🏾👸🏾🖤
To compare it to the whites only sign is willlld
The yt dude was tryna diss the organization by implying it’s one and the same & it’s not. I noticed the last time she was on he rolled his zesty eyes & made similar comments. Im so glad yt men are getting checked there are other organizations that only allow for funds to be gender specific and race too Sidenote: when yt men try & tlk to me I cringe. They are not attractive at all
Do we not like in Amerikkka? A land stolen from the Native Americans and built with the stolen labor of African Americans. Her fund is a small effort to level the playing field. The audacity to utilize their laws based in racism against someone advocating for diversity, equity and inclusion is astounding. A postracial society is a dream, that cannot occur until all people have equity and some have had a 400 plus year start. Keep on fighting, sis. If there is a GoFundMe, please contribute.
Sounds like a much needed grant. How do we apply for this grant
ASK OBAMA LIKE HIS OBAMA PHONES, OR OBAMA INSURANCE
Education and resolve.
She is Bad ❤ GatDamn
I still don't agree with the attorneys approach. When your a small business your battle wisely. If that many deals and corporate partners were at stake I as a leader would have strategically taken a different route. Because at this point even if you win, it is likely that the corporate partners will not return.
She might actually win this if Kamala wins office. But if not, she’s gonna have to start leaving the idea of helping these women out because of their race and just build a fund based on common communities.
She would be better off trying to get rich first, then giving away her own money without any "foundation" or 501c3. But the moment you incorporate, you're bound to get hit with lawsuits.
I actually need this grant right now and I cannot get access very sad
There is a way she can handle this so they can never touch her.
Yeah, eliminate the threat all together.😏
This will be used against them.
As CEO she should have had enough legal knowledge to push back on her attorney and think more about the business the personal stance. Work around and defend your stance. You could accomplish your goal without mentioning race gets setting a funding selection process that favor the population you wish to serve.
Question for you? What if you just put this program up on the line as a complete program? Going around and around the mulberry bush is now in this old man's style. Or is the question this? "All we think about is the moola."
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
nope, End any and all race-based policies and laws.
Just tell them "sorry for your luck "? Should have been born white?
@@gregorypeterson9 nope, End any and all race-based policies and laws.
@@gregorypeterson9 And that post from you gregorypeterson9 is a RACIST comment!
@jackmitton2534 , sure once the wealth disparity is closed and we are not discriminated against; THEN you can end any and all race-based policies & laws. Until then, we’re not asking for your assistance or permission, just stay out of the way.
@@arktos298 I notice you don't call for an end to racism. You're ok with that aren't cha? 😉
