[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh yes, another “...issues for poor minorities“ from a not-poor not-minority! Do you even know any poor black people? The actual racism here is the transparent belief that minorities can’t make their own judgments for the benefit of their children. [/quote]

So, I volunteer heavily for three organizations that work with very poor communities. Childcare and lack of school related health care is a huge concern. School attendance for teens is a concern. The financial impact of the pandemic on these communities is a concern. ESOL programs via distance learning is concern. Food distribution is a concern (sorry, but it’s really hard to get food distributed properly).  But from my perspective, the greatest concern is the lack of proper outreach to these communities to figure out what they need. And honestly, if people are concerned about the impact on them, that’s a good thing. It’s better than not caring at all because “my number one concern as a parent is my own kid,” which is stated time and time again on this board.

I think your post is completely disingenuous and it concerns me that your are attacking people for showing interest in the wellbeing of others. [/quote]

*you’re

Also, I want to emphasize PP’s comment about poor internet, grab and go lunches, etc. Just because we are providing something doesn’t mean it is adequate or even helpful. [/quote]
