As a consumer in a capitalist system, you are expected to reward companies that deliver what you want. In communism, this expectation does not exist.

We could not see it in DC. The local ABC owner refuses to air it. As a consumer in a capitalist society, it is my responsibility to refuse to watch ABC.

That responsibility does always come in a socialist society and never in a communist society.

I accept that responsibility.

Billionaire philanthropist MacKenzie Scott has made a historic $70 million donation to the United Negro College Fund, marking one of the largest gifts in the nonprofit’s history.

The funding comes as UNCF pushes to raise $1 billion to strengthen 37 of the HBCUs the organization supports.

UNCF President and CEO Dr. Michael L. Lomax calls the contribution “a once-in-a-generation opportunity” to secure the future of Black higher education. The donation will be invested in UNCF’s pooled endowment, which aims to build $10 million for each HBCU, helping stabilize budgets and create lasting financial security.

Scott, who signed the Giving Pledge in 2019, has consistently directed her wealth toward institutions uplifting marginalized communities. She previously gifted UNCF $10 million in 2020 and continues to make HBCUs a philanthropic priority.
