Thanks.

This was your first post in the thread about the balcks opening a grocery store, Mr. I Don't Have An Ax To Grind.

But you're just watching out for the little guy! :lol:

I thought the idea was pretty cool. I hope that all the building and plans work out great. I do also hope the city and county don’t make them blow a ton of money with regulatory bs.

You proved to be completely dishonest in your later post. You read it exactly the same way.

:lol: :lol: Hey professor, that later post of mine that you reference to was a dig at YOUR takes in this thread! Specifically your first post here referring to "grifters" and insinuating that everybody in the Austin neighborhood will do nothing to improve their lot in life. SS quoted it for you in case you had forgotten.


That said, you seem to read different posts than the rest of us. Why does this happen to you far more than anybody else here?

I believe the prevailing take around these parts is that these charities and foundations only exist to give the athletes no account family members jobs within it

Out of all the charities that have ever existed and out of all the celebrities that have ever run a charity, THIS is the one that gets CFMB's dander up. :lol:

It's not getting CFMB's dander up, its getting a few peoples' dander up. The list of those who seem to be offended by this is not shocking to anybody who has spent any time reading this place over the last few weeks.

I wish Wfr would have had this much energy looking into the Trump election fraud fundraising and where all that money went. I'll give them the chance that they are actually trying to do the right thing.

I think there are very valid reasons to be skeptical of a celebrity led charity middle-manning a relatively low cost project that go beyond RACISM!1!!!

I think the intent is much bigger than a grocery store. Maybe it's smart to keep the focus on this baby step.

I described the manner in which you viewed anyone questioning these efforts, and then you repeated it as my "internal dialogue". So you are either being dishonest or stupid.

Talk about reading a lot into a post.

yes. you hit the nail on the head.

i believe if this charity drive took place in 2014, there would be way less cynical & sarcastic posts.

i listened to parkins a bit on the way home last night and he's still pushing his social theories. chicago's image around the world - including his visit to israel: yesterday - al capone...rat-tat-tat. today: minority criminals...rat-tat-tat. liquor stores...riff raff. poverty is the driver of crime. from what i understand, arab and east indian grocery entrepreneurs are giving up serving the disadvantaged communities due to violence and insurance costs.

eliminate the parkins swirl, i do hope austin gets one more grocery store. hopefully, permanent.

Do the "right thing" by who's definition? I don't need to lead the investigation to "get Trump". The media will do plenty of snooping around that story. They already have in fact. And if anyone violated the law some underlings will go to jail.

Can you offer an explanation?

Six multi-millionaire got together to ask for your money to finance a $500k food co-op. Don't you dare question it though. They are "doing the right thing".

It's exactly what he said. And your attempt to lie, and act like this is some good faith argument isn't hiding that fact.

Yes, but why is THIS particular charity being intensely scrutinized by certain posters? Maybe these posters have raised issues with other charities on this bored in the past but I haven't seen them scrutinize those charities with the vigor we are seeing here. If I am shown those posts, I suppose I'll eat some crow.

Because it's being promoted on the Score by Danny Parkins. And the board of the charity is filled with Chicago Bears. I don't know what Anthony Rizzo's charity does either, but I would guess that it's mostly bullshit too. A ton of charities are wine and cheese events for donors, fat salaries for executives, and zero impact.

Your reply does nothing to answer the simple questions asked of you. You certainly don't have to answer, and I won't ask again, but your silence thus far is deafening.

Quit being stupid or drop the white knight bullshit, and just admit that Spiral thinks that racism is why people are objecting to this charity.

My questions are not specific to this thread, as I pointed out you took words that I never posted and basically replied to them on your own in the Sox section earlier this morning.

Even you not answering speaks volumes, wfr.

If I read something differently from you Frank it's because you are not very smart. That's my honest answer. I'm sure you are a nice person, but your lack of depth in these discussions is telling.

If you think about it for more than a second it makes perfect sense, since people on the board only seem to listen to SCR to get mad and post about SJW stuff

Some may have mentioned, but THIS particular charity was recently given 24hrs of airtime on a local radio station.
