There is some truth to the "he doesn't like nikkas" meme breh. He's ran with the "acting white" shtick before, MBKI is basically an assimilationist program which consistently runs with beliefs that black people are "unmotivated" and "lack self-esteem"(PC for lazy ass nikkas), and has consistently deployed alllivesmatter rhetoric over the past year. It's true.
Where are you getting your information? It's a program that's giving resources to a bunch of kids that the government usually don't give a fukk about. He got corporations throwing money and giving cats internships and jobs instead of looking at their resume and laughing. What about giving black kids jobs is assimilation? How is allowing cats in jail to get money for school assimilation? What does keeping kids from shooting each other and getting schools to work with them instead of just kicking them out have to do with assimilation? You ain't gotta like the man, but he spun some shyt that used to have white people pissed off (helping black people) into some shyt that they're willingly giving too and somehow it's a program to tell black people aren't motivated? Come on.....it's all easy as fukk to find instead of coming up with some narrative that don't make any sense.
