Yes

Is this supposed to be some sort of gotcha?

Right, because Richmond's white voter block has voted in so many great things for black people over the past decade. We've now got better schools, graduation rates, lower income gap disparity, people escaping poverty. Oh right, none of these things happened. But we have taken down totally defaced and ignored statues and stopped a casino.

Systematic oppression is not being able to afford higher education to get a better job because your parents also couldn't afford higher education to get a better job.

Say we pay half of their tuition. That's 400 kids. Now add in the lawyer/court costs of fighting over the statues for years now. Who knows what that costs, possibly millions more, but I'll say at least 500 kids.

That's 500 people who now get better jobs and can afford to send their children to higher education. This gradually breaks the cycle.

Say you grew up barely being able to afford food. What is going matter more in your life. A better 40 year career or taking down a statue that nobody paid any mind to in a city that has voted blue for decades.

Absolutely nothing, it's just so white liberals can feel good, similar to terms like Latinx.

Taking money used for statue removal (at least $1.8 million plus attorney costs to fight in court over some of them) and using it for scholarships to send poor black graduates otherwise stuck in the poverty cycle to community college/4 year college. 1.8 million at $158/credit (current J Sarg cost), that would be 11k credit hours or 189 associates degrees (60 credit hours/degree), if we covered the whole tuition.

Ligma nuts

Due west of campus, like Cary St to Broad Street

Cmon man, Hibbs was insultingly bad. There's no way a VCU executive could ever eat at Hibbs (the previous one) and think "this is acceptable", it was like wet eggs and shit. Shafer is fine.

You'll be fine. If you are at Monroe Park campus, live in the fan, it's safe as hell and you can walk to campus

If you are the med school campus, safest place is probably tobacco row apartments area or a house in church hill south of Broad street. Can't walk from here but can take the bus and the 8-5 crew is normal working class people (even outside of that I don't think it's dangerous, just less working professionals)

Welcome to America and Richmond!

I think it was so concrete chunks don't fall and kill people walking across it, the bridges bump into each other in some kind of design flaw.

So it is POW graves? How are there only like 4 total? I'd assume it'd be dozens to hundreds (cold, disease, non-immediately lethal shot before being captured, etc)

I'll take projects over homelessness.

Yea, I'd imagine a full reddit ban if someone came in here asking does anyone have recommendations for a white male doctor"

Black AND Indigenous, bigot
