Because if there's one thing that the whole gender fluidity/transgender movement has taught America it's that homosexuality isn't an inborn genetically determined trait. All life chooses to "discriminate" against based on their chosen behaviors of others since time began, and that will continue till time ends.

So lets get a whites-only privately funded slush fund going.

Don't forget the men-only private funds.

Also, Christians only fund.

Discrimination must be fun for you.

Here's the thing to me... if the NAACP was giving out $500 checks, I'd know who'd be getting them and would be any skin off my nose, I'd be totally OK with that.

.. of course that logic SHOULD work both ways, but of course any private organization for the benefit of white people would be racist... right?

... just sayin'

Do you think that these don’t already exist?

Just one example:

“Thrivent Church Financing is part of Thrivent Financial, a not-for-profit membership organization of Christians. We lend exclusively to Christian churches and organizations and are committed to strengthening Christian communities and equipping churches for the future.”

Montclair and other parts of the hills are beautiful, and they aren't cheap.

If you don't have kids, or go private (Head-Royce, CPS, etc.), the public schools don't matter as much.

If that's true, that's illegal. The city government is prohibited from committing race-based discrimination. The private donors would have to administer the program. The city cannot be involved.

Yep, discrimination "under color of law" is not smart.
