The Soros-backed Open Society Foundations said in a press release Monday that the money would be channeled to organizations and leaders in Black communities across the country, aiming to boost efforts to sustain the momentum of the police reform and racial justice movement sparked by the death of George Floyd.
The foundation said it will invest $150 million in five-year grants for Black-led racial justice groups.

    "Racial injustice"? Define that along with "social justice" and "systemic racism".
    Personal responsibility puts the lie to all such nonsense today. Those who take personal responsibility for their actions and their lives, succeed in life. They don't allow others to define what they can and cannot do nor accomplish. For any reason, including the false labels of "race", gender, etc. They just do what they need to do to succeed in their lives.
    Think about it. "All men are created equal...". What they do with the talents they are born with is up to the individual, not the society into which they are born.
    Just sayin'.

    Soros is the anti-Galt. He is the dark that proves that the light exists. Most evil-doers fail through the use of physical force. He uses more subtle coercion, and as a result is more likely to succeed. Those who can understand evil when they see it are going to need to stiffen their backbones and face the discomfort of opposing the devil face-to-face.

    Had that not happened you would not now exist and had not all that happened almost all the present living persons would not now exist.
    Just learn from the past using reason and try not to repeat same horrors.

    All ethnic groups enslaved each as booty from warfare, landowner to peasant farmer, to the poor selling their children to the rich as indentured servants. My grandmother was an indentured servant to a wealthy family in Poland in the 1890's.

    In reference to the original post, perhaps Soros could invest in the communities where blacks are killing blacks at rates tens of orders of magnitude more than any police have done to them instead of wasting time and money on undoing the non-existent racism they keep crying about!

    The past creates the present. Well said.

    The present cannot be what the past has not provided foundation.

    Yes.
    The most important thing is to understand is that the past creates the present. There are no redoes. No, "if only I, whom was self created from scratch in that born body", were to have been born elsewise." There is no getting around the fact that every sperm, due to gene shuffling making each different and produced to compete with 200 to 500 million others to fertilize an ovum, will produce a unique human body. It is that bodie's job to produce the self, I, or soul depending ones preference.
    All that indicates is that nearly all humans are the result the large amount of slavery for centuries of the past.
    Just consider the difference that a small fraction of second delay in fertilization would have on gene expression. Example, the difference of bodies of fraternal twins and then their creation of their I-selves.
    If one cannot accept one's individuality, then one is likely wishing not have been born.

    As for the irrational call for reparations for having been born, in the USA one cannot and never should be held or even be considered as responsible for the "sins of the fathers" or any other human being even in the views of the religions.

    Interesting point.
    Also, Black Americans originally came from a barbaric tribal culture...and captured by other barbarians, I might add. For some reason, progressives, in their attempt to divide pushed that uncivilized culture upon them as an identity.
    That continued separation from embracing the American culture force them to invent their own identities instead of identifying as Americans.

    Have you observed that?

    Thanks. America is a little of both, even though The American Culture is made up of many cultures; we do have an understated expectation of love of country, the constitution and partaking of all the different cultural aspects that makes America what it is...no one cultural aspect stands out above the others except the time tested principles we stand for.

    Society is not divided by race. Society is divided by thinking people and the ignorant. The ignorant then sub-divides by race.

    I agree that the effects of the $220 million will have a greater systemic effect on our country than the 22 Trillion. I simply looked at the dollar amount. The War on Poverty is socialism on steroids for the black community and we are experiencing the results. I fear for my kids and grand kids.

    I disagree with the "chump change" comment.
    $220 million supporting BLM can result in political changes that make the War on Poverty look like "chump change."

    Chump change. LBJ's War On Poverty cost us 22 Trillion dollars and where did that get us?? No, Soros is about socialism - communism pure and simple. One of the central figures in the BLM Foundation is a convicted terrorist pardoned by Bill Clinton on his last day in office. These are scary times.

    Which book, John Kenneth Press? Originally at some extreme right wing blog / forum.

    Scott Hampton at AmaXon only, just stumbled on it.

    If George Soros was stood to face a firing squad there would be massive lines facing him hoping their shots hit the mark. The Webster Dictionary should define the word EVIL with a picture of Soros.

    How did you find this book? I scrubbed the internet pretty hard, using various search engines and search text. I found one image of the author at what appeared to be a book signing, but the link was broken. I'm not into conspiracy, but this is not looking good.

    "They won't be putting up with the behavior they have induced once they win." OlduglyCarl...had to emphasize this. It is exactly what will happen. Once the gain control of everything...behavior outside the norms will not be TOLERATED.
