Is this appropriate for govt to fund nonprofits who limit to specific sex/race?

$500k allocated to organization that addresses needs of black women.

In one sense, it is important to focus on target markets in any endeavor to improve success, especially when specialized resources and skill sets, are required... language, culture, trauma support, child support. But succes isn't achieved by being limited. it's important to engage with other people and cultures as success can be learned from others. That be the concept of college and networking.

As well, seems unfair to other marginalized groups if they don't have similar resources and would be denied access. There's already "business development" organizations, can black women be served by those resources... possibly with the aide of a "guide", rather than setting aside an expensive building for such work? Can black communities gather and fund such endeavors through private donation, like Jewish, Muslim, or other specific cultures?

And to be fair, it's probably not "black women", some black women are very successful... attaining college, owing businesses, raising families, or just holding normal jobs like most people and paying the bills. This endeavor assumably would be those who are caught in cycles of failure, lacking good culture, support of parents, social connections and such... whom are "black women".

A simple solution would be to "specialize" in African American women, but allow access to anyone... and gather funds privately. Note that there are non profits that provide similar services... and serve majority groups "black women".

Yes: Appropriate use of funds: to address specific needs

No: Should not be specific to race/sex

"Non-woke" companies talk about Native Americans and Ukrainians all the time, no one gives a fuck but to listen. It's just that society (mainly white media) uses Black Americans as props for political reasons.

White Democrats, White Centrists and White Republicans all are sheeple for politicizing Black people. The reason why white privilege exists is because of the education apartheid, subtle zoning policies, and brutally corrupt judges/principals that side with the white racist cops and teachers.

Not just cops, but teachers and doctors are bastards too

No, it just divides the country more than it already is. When you tske money away from one group and give it to another just to get more votes it is bound to piss people off. The best example is when Biden gave money to farmers but they had to be black. Very unfair to the rest.

What usually happens with these things is its not the people who need it that benefits. I was at college with a girl who got a nccaap scholarship, her parents were filthy rich she didn't need it and she had perfect test scores

It's overt racism and sexism. Nothing more.
