If this was a Black single mother, would she be helped out and met with sympathy like this?

This NPR article just showed up on my feed.

Peep the headline. This story is about a white single mother and her daughter and people being generous enough to help them.


Here's an important piece from the article:

Her Jeep Grand Cherokee, which already had over 250,000 miles on it,
had been in the shop multiple times over the past few months. The repairs were expensive, and Kronk braced herself for another financial setback.

She was stranded on an Alaskan highway. A stranger saved the day
Eventually, the car rumbled to a start and she drove it straight to the dealership to get it repaired, hoping it wouldn't break down on the way.
When she arrived, the mechanics got to work. They took the keys, pulled out her daughter Katie's car seat, and moved it into a courtesy shuttle.

"They had done it so many times that it was like we had our own personal pit crew," Kronk recalled.
The courtesy shuttle took them to the daycare. From there, Kronk walked to work. Later that afternoon, she got a call – the car was ready. She headed back to the daycare to pick up Katie; they shuttled back to the dealership. All the while, Kronk worried about the astronomical bill she was about to pay. But when she took out her wallet, the cashier smiled.

"She told me there was no charge," Kronk said. "They had miraculously found the part I needed at no cost."

An unexpected source of solace during an in-flight emergency
Kronk thought there must be some mistake. "I said, 'Could you check that? Like, what's the labor cost going to be?" But the cashier assured her that the mechanics had donated their labor – there was really no charge. Still confused, Kronk asked to verify this with the service manager.

"He came over to me and walked me to my car and just told me not to worry about it," she said. He assured her that everything was covered. Kronk was speechless.

So where is the father? Where is the dad at? I thought everyone including single mothers needed bootstraps no matter what, not lifelines, donations, help, or welfare. Oh wait, they only tell Black single mothers and Black people that nonsense.

If the single mother was Black, would the car repair people be this charitable to her and would this NPR article be written in such a heartwarming way? Honest question.

Whites (including white homeless - even the fake con artist ones) on average get a lot more communal charity and welfare.

Meanwhile Black people (particularly those who are poor) would be considered "lucky" to get Toys for Tots for their children, have access to better opportunities and resources, have their welfare and electricity not getting cut off, be able to not face eviction, and be given info about and approved for government assistance or non-profit events and donations during a good year.

Yet, Black people are met with pure hostility from everyone whenever any of us receive or seek to receive any type of handout whether it is from the government, a non-profit organization, or a private company or citizen. I even came across racist comments hoping for Black people to be sterilized on articles about church and non-profit organizations donating things to poor Black people with newborn children.

Black single mothers, like the rest of Black society, are mostly on their own and left to fend for themselves in an anti-Black racist world. This is partly why the Black community needs reparations and deserve access to resources and power so we can help each other more because nobody else will.

They actually believe ms trans-racial cares


Seems like the father was on code so I wonder did he agree with this

White Cop shows up to a Black Family's home HIGH and DRUNK.

His white partner in crime and the Internal Affairs of the police covered for him by lying and claiming it was a "medical episode." This unnamed, drunk druggie cop is STILL on the police force. This is just a disaster waiting to happen.

This is what Black people are being forced to accept.

RIP to Amber Carr, Sister of Atatiana Jefferson

Here is heartbreaking news regarding Amber Carr, the sister of Atatiana Jefferson, who passed away from congestive heart failure. She was only 33 years old. The family has been going through so much since the murder of Atatiana. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends, especially Amber’s two sons. One of whom was with their aunt Atatiana the night the police killed her in her home. Atatiana Jefferson’s sister, Zion Carr's mom passes away

S/o to these Black men in Detroit

Black men who are apart of a group called New Era Detroit reserved their time to watch over customers as they pumped gas and purchased groceries. In this video clip, the men are seen helping the women pump their gas and store groceries in their cars. These kings could’ve been home sleeping, watching movies. I commend them for supporting the community. We need more of this over this country. 😍✊🏾

HBCU offers “new” scholarships for undocumented

Morgan State University is an HBCU located in Baltimore, Maryland, who is the first to offer scholarships for undocumented immigrants in Maryland. This is a bad move on the university’s part as there are Black students who struggle to pay for their tuition and housing. I wonder what the current Black students think about this, especially the ones on who may be on meal plans and working hard to pay bills. Login to view embedded media

Internet for "all" in Maryland

Coppin State University received a $3.9 million dollar federal grant from the Department of Commerce’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration. The grant will improve connectivity, access, and opportunity in West Baltimore. Technological resources, training, and access to affordable broadband internet service will be provided. While these politicians celebrate connecting people to the internet, they ignore the issue of lineage-based reparations. I am not against people gaining internet connection, but what will that do specifically for Black people? Black people will still suffer from job and housing discrimination, food desserts, poor education, broken homes, unnecessary violence, I could go on. Opportunity for all does not help Black Americans. It undermines the issues of our community that must be addressed. When the Asians receive tangibles for themselves, it isn't for all. When illegal immigrants receive incentives, it's just for them. Black people deserve incentives just for us. The "digital divide" issue could have been addressed several years ago. Why is this initiative being proposed in this time when the focus is on slavery reparations? Also, what is up with the Biden/Harris praise? Login to view embedded media
