The highlighted recipient, Melvin Giles, is a Black male born in 1958. He's been a resident of St. Paul, Minnesota, from at least 1968. His main online profile calls him "a veteran peace, diversity, and dismantling racism educator. He has extensive experience working with youth, academia, government agencies, nonprofit agencies and neighborhood groups." (https://friendlystreetsinitiative.org/fsi-staff/melvin-giles/)
No word on how the $55,000 rest is going, for the seven recipients (Melvin Giles and six other Blacks). They were handed the cash 1.5 years ago ($385,000 total), by the "Black Legacy and Leadership Enrichment Initiative" of Minnesota. Judging by the other six names, many are either without substantial roots in the USA or are Nation-of-Islam converts.
Who finances the Black Legacy and 'Enrichment' Initiative"?
Doesn't nearly every major corporation in the world finance black legacy projects like this? A few have cut it now, but four years ago they all started shelling out money for this stuff.
Steve, my career has given me the wonderful opportunity to work alongside nap queens (and kangz!) for several decades. I can assure you that if they're tired it's not because they're working too hard. Stereotypes exist for a good reason. Enjoyed the article as always.
"She won’t allow herself to feel consumed by national politics, she said, and she instead plans to focus on her mental and physical health by exercising and no longer molding herself to please others."
I am glad she had the courage to confront her alter ego demanding that she stay engaged in national politics, and instead told this other part of herself to f**k off, I'm tired. I can see how these ladies feel so exhausted all the time; it must be immensely fatiguing arguing with yourself so much.
I think stepping back from national politics and taking up new hobbies sounds a heck of a lot healthier than what most people are doing. I have some friends, late middle aged, a woman and a hippie guy with a pony tail, who had a long session of consoling each other after the election. The way she described it and explained the need for it, you'd think both had just lost their children in the same tragic school bus crash.
Not to brag, but when Biden won the previous election, I didn't do that.
So John Lennon committed cultural appropriation on The White Album in writing and singing "I'm So Tired"? Did he have the over-worked black woman in mind?
It's hard to overstate how much the incompetent black woman CEO of John Lewis, Sharon White, damaged their reputation here in Britain among middle and upper class whites.
RJK Jr has not yet taken his cabinet position and already black women are vowing to focus on "mental and physical health by exercising" and "eating more healthfully."
Such are the wonders a Trump victory can accomplish!
I would say that this is a perfect example of a situation in which we, the normal people of the country, say, "We gladly accept your terms. You can retreat back to your abode and sleep as much as you want. We will no longer have to hear you complain of your tiredness, and we will no longer have to hear talk of reparations. Enjoy your hibernation, and please make it last for 100 years."

"No taxation without reparation."
Increasingly, the taxation IS reparation.
I'm tired OF black women. Does that count?
A lot of men think that way.
Then this result will serve you both

Sounds like someone paid him to go away.

For what it is worth, Hillary said "I am no ways tired" in the appropriate accent. Rececting the nap cult.
> **Rececting** the nap cult.
What word were you going for here? "Rejecting"?
"I'm tired, boss."
"Take a rest. You're fired."

LOL you underestimate how tiring it is avoiding work
This napping activism sounds like a good gig. Where do I sign up? I’ve been practicing daily since I passed 75, and I’m getting pretty good at it.
It's naptivism! It's very naptivating.
Next step in job controversy is hiring through napotism.
"She’s tireless at talking to the media about how tired she is as a black woman."
Come to the Steve Sailer Substack for the intellectual stimulating topics and observations, stay for the dry humor!

Article pitch mysteriously killed by the editors of Fortune, Forbes, and Money:
"Meet the Power Behind the Throne: The Entrepreneurs without Executive Titles Who Run Corporations in the Wake of Tired Black Executives"
To paraphrase, how can we miss you if we don't know you're gone?

To be fair, there's no American demographic that couldn't stand to eat better and exercise more.
I hope you mean that in a positive way. Black women should exercise more and eat less at Popeye's.

How long before a black she-male muscles in on this (lack of) action? The World Wars collide.
