Oregon settles with Hispanic business owner who sued over Covid fund exclusive to Black residents

FOX: A Hispanic business owner who sued Oregon for blocking her from the state’s COVID-19 relief fund exclusively for Black business owners will be getting a payout after all, as the state agreed this week to settle the lawsuit over their race-based program.

Maria Garcia, who owns Revolución Coffee House in Portland, sued Oregon last year over its Oregon Cares Fund, for which the state legislature dedicated $62 million from the federal CARES Act toward grants that were only eligible to Black Oregonians. Garcia claims the fund is unconstitutional because it is based on race. more

  1. Wow! I remember when this was proposed but (naive as I am) never thought it would fly… wow! Just think if some jurisdiction passed a law giving 𝓒𝓻𝓪𝓬𝓴𝓮𝓻𝓫𝓪𝓫𝔂 money…. wouldn’t someone lose their minds?

  2. Maggots fighting over taxpayer’s money.

    I watch the deer fighting over free (free to the deer, not to me) corn.
    I’ve seen the coons fight over free sunflower (free to the coons, not to me) seeds.
    Now we have “hispanics” fighting negroes over free (free to them, not to me) taxpayer money.

    Seems to be a lesson in here, somewhere.

  3. “The Oregon Cares Fund has been an enormous success, and has provided urgent relief to Black Oregonians, Black-led nonprofits, and Black-owned businesses, which are less likely to have access to federal aid.”

    Why, because they’re too stupid to apply for it? EVERYONE has access to these programs, for God’s sake.

  4. Our town has received ARPA funds and, just to squander the money, have decided to put new doors on the Court House!

    Republican County, Republican Town Council, Republican County Council!

    Nothing like “free shit” to bring out the bastard.
