Thank you, Glenn, for profiling these two wonderful people and their organizations. I was a loner in not trusting BLM, and ignoring the shaming if I did not donate to BLM; and now I have two organizations that will receive my donations! Thank you again.

I was stumbling around Substack seeking substance and found glennloury.substack.com. Dr. Loury's truthful discussion with John McWhorter about the death of Trayvon Martin cinched it. As a result of viewing glennloury.substack.com, I found you and your work. Those who attack faith and family are legion. God bless you Sylvia Bennett-Stone. You are the voice of one crying in the wilderness. Your righteous work does not fit their political agenda. We cannot have healing while the lies regarding Trayvon's death (and others) continue to be supported by many, including The New York Times and our former POTUS. I voted for Barack Obama figuring he could help America. I was wrong. It's just all about money. He should be working with Black Mothers to stop the killing of the innocents.

Very enlightening. Thank you. Glad to know Ms. Bennett-Stone is doing the difficult work she is doing. Wish it wasn’t necessary.

I was in a pub discussing these sorts of issues. I didn’t do it justice, but I tried my best. A 22 year old I was with pointed to Jack Kerouac and his ideals of moving into a working class black neighborhood and becoming a part of it. This forecasts a trend of queer and alternative people moving into these neighborhoods and over compensating their politics to become apart of the community. Of course, anyone on the right sees this as a threat. The left uses it as a chance to self congratulate itself on diversity. Both are wrong, the common sense solution is a simple attitude adjustment. The trick is doing it without saying the word “privilege.” How’s this? Over compensating one’s politics is being a childish busybody.

What a sad commentary that programs like this operate in the shadows while the antics of groups like BLM are known to all. There is nothing worse than the loss of a child; it defies the natural order of things. No one can solve every issue, but Ms. Bennett-Stone is to be commended for her work.
