    Lot of grass roots organizations are made up of folks that work regular 9-5s so maybe.

    I know 2-3 folks off this site alone that definitely be active community organizers for various causes that matter.

    This idea of money being the cure to all the evils (when it’s just a bandaid) when private/charter schools have a history of being damn racist at times, plays right into the cycle of capitalism that ultimately in the end fails us all.

    for all the “e-commie” jokes there are a lot of ppl here communists or not that I probably don’t even know who are active in organizing within there community

    The whole “do people give back the same as a billionaire? Then shut up”

    Is so disingenuous because of course most working people can’t actually afford to give millions to people, that’s sort of the name of the game. It doesn’t matter if the rich person is white, black, Asian

    Grassroots organizing from a leftist perspective have always had the challenges of not having enough money and time compared to the ruling class

    2) people that always use that argument definitely dont do anything in their community, otherwise they would be knowledgeable enough to understand why it’s a stupid comment to begin with

    Regardless true chsnge always come from the bottom up putting pressure

    Jay Z (a capitalist) giving a bone to bandaid a problem within American society isn’t going to fix anything just like some oil CEO donating a couple million to “protecting” the environment. And even if you say “well no one is talking about changing or overthrowing, just doing a good deed” then it’s still dumb because people being able to accrue that much wealth in the first place is why the system doenst work

    I’m not talking about you just ranting lol

    I hear you but at the end of the day it’s 300 million dollars towards the education of kids that need it.

    Kids from the hood are gonna get to go to
    private school and have a better shot at class mobility

    why is "class mobility" desirable? the entire idea is anti-egalitarian. black people can't become upper-middle class white people through some sheer force of will, the country is built on keeping africans as an internal colony.

    you can't make those kinds of assumptions though

    This type of wishful thinking is what the corporate bigwigs count on

    they pay news media to write articles about "Jay-Z is Helping get $300 million in scholarships" so people think they're giving out money

    but until we get confirmation, you don't know if they donated anything

    they're holding informational meetings about a senate bill that hasn't even been passed and you niggas are praising him.
    just bc he made classic tracks like Imaginary Players doesn't mean Jay is above manipulating the narrative

    It’s desirable because at the end of the day the system we live in is capitalism and that’s never gonna change.

    of course I do, I'm not stupid. my point is this doesnt help black people as a permanent underclass of western society.

    Private schools

    How about donating this money to a public school instead, which would impact more students for a longer period of time? But if course that wouldn’t fit the interests of Jay Z’s class

    F*** Jay Z

    The truth is putting underprivileged kids in privileged environments often fails, so instead funding public schools would probably be wiser so this isn't a terrible take

    Why not use the 300 million to assist in fixing a system and increase the standing of ALL underprivileged kids

    $300 million is not enough to increase the standing of all underprivileged kids.

    Also, you can't solve every problem by simply throwing money at it.

    You have to make sure the resources are allocated properly and make sure the people are competent enough to make the right decisions.

    For example, when it comes to donating public schools, they operate within a complex system that includes local, state, and federal regulations.

    Sometimes it might be hard to implement things due to bureaucratic constraints and systemic issues.

    Getting certain things and trying to fix the "system" is more complicated than it seems.

    This is good. The causes of education's issues don't stop at education itself, so it's not as simple as a singular person spearheading funding for a few public schools, although it does help. As does this

    Colleges get big endowments from many individual rich donors or interest groups that affect how universities operate, such as enrollment. Many universities that want to be seen as Ivy League tier schools will then market to more predominantly white upper middle class families, which leads to college towns gentrifying poor areas and essentially having a monopoly on employment within the area

    Many corporations, such as Boeing and Lockheed Martin have job fairs at many schools, employees that come to give lectures, etc to pipeline students into becoming eventual employees for the MIC. This is even more apparent in Ivy League schools such as Harvard or Yale where many former Presidents and other high level politicians in Washington attend, then later go on to work at major media outlets or outright WH positions…

    More egregiously if you’ve paid attention to the Palestine protests at many universities, they have called for Divestment as a goal, meaning to stop giving money to companies such as Lockheed Martin, etc who directly assist in building weapons to aid in Israel’s genocide

    These aren’t wild demands, but they do affect universities at a material level and directly clash with the conflict of interests of the ruling class, so they have been met with police oppression

    Not trying to make anything sound sinister but this is just the reality of the system works

    When you put it like that, I guess

    but honestly don't want to get into the military industrial complex issue

    That would need it's own thread.
