In 1939, the Dongs, a Chinese American family in Coronado, California, found themselves unable to rent a house amid racially restrictive housing laws that favored white buyers and renters.

Emma and Gus Thompson, a Black entrepreneurial couple in town, allowed the family to rent and eventually buy their Coronado property when nobody else would. Now, to thank the Thompsons for helping them get a toehold in American society, the Dongs are donating $5 million to Black college students using proceeds from the sale of the house.

It may enable some kids to go and flourish in college that might not have been able to otherwise, Janice Dong, 86, said about the plan to sell the family home they later purchased, as well as an adjacent property.

The Dong family will also work to have San Diego State Universitys Black Resource Center named after Emma and Gus, who was born into slavery in Kentucky.

Lloyd Dong Jr., 81, said the Thompsons gave their family a start with the land, and it is time for them to do the same for others.

Without them, we would not have the education and everything else, Lloyd Dong Jr. said.

The Dong familys Coronado properties include the Thompsons original home at 832 C Ave. and an eight-unit apartment complex next door. Family members estimate the combined value to be worth $8 million. Lloyd Dong Jr. and his older brother, Ron Dong, plan to donate their portions $5 million.

Amid the backdrop of a national conversation about reparations, this isnt a story about atonement and repair, said Kevin Ashley, a Coronado historian. The Thompsons gesture was a transaction with no strings attached; the Dongs didnt have anything to pay back.

Instead, Ashley said, the story is about honoring and recognizing the enduring impact of one familys will to help another get ahead. As the country continues to debate the merits and logistics of reparations for its history of chattel slavery, the Dong familys decision to give back to the Black community could serve as an example, he said.

Ron Dong and his wife, Janice Dong, are both retired teachers who believe that education can change lives.

Its just exactly whats appropriate, Ron Dong, 86, said about their donation.

I'm starting the video now, and I'm not getting the sense he is conservative but I haven't gotten very far in

I've seen the video and from what he's said so far, he's okay with diversity and inclusiveness so long as it isn't forced or shallow.

You, for example, Humble Novice spend 50x more time attacking the left than you do advocating for what Biden will be like in 2025.

The online left is not immune to criticism, so why should they be coddled? The fact that they prefer attacking liberals more than conservatives says a lot about them.

Thats already been tried here and people ignore it

Sadly this. Some people are too blinded by their hatred of Biden to even see the threat posed by the far right.

Surprisingly enough, they do.

Its really doubtful, because they are solely targeting people on the left for... I'm not really sure. The people they are targeting literally support Gaza. I'm not sure what more they want. It feels like a CIA op or right wing shit if anything.

I think this tweet says it all. Supporting Palestine isn't supposed to be a goddamn competition or purity test.

Fortunately, more folks are finally getting sick and tired of bad faith bullies using Palestine as a way to gain clout and harass others.

It makes me feel better that I'm seeing more of these performative leftists getting called out for shit like this. The "What are YOU doing IRL to help?" should have shut her up but it did not.

Man that site is such cancer.

I'm not sure if they're even genuine leftists at this point.

Are you still going to vote blue, TC?

And yet "progressives" keep trying this over and over

No different than those Twitter idiots than ran off Christina Vee.

And you got people in here literslly admitting how new they are to politics and it paints the picture of the state of way too many left wing circles, no principles, no allies, just vindictive self serving virus signaling that ar best accomplishes little and at worst makes the entire collective look worse.

Sigh.

Speaking of Cristina Vee, looks like someone got ahold of the harasser's old account name and made some changes here and there: https://twitter.com/WhereIsMeCake

Dudes not gonna lose Minnesota but this is pretty good numbers for uncommitted seeing as that campaign started maybe a week ago at most.

I'm surprised California didn't have uncommitted in the ballot despite being more on the left than most other states.

But, again, let's say she goes "OK. It is genocide".

Do all those people then just go "Oh. Ok. Thanks!" and move on to the next public figure on their list?

Speaking of lists, some protesters have been creating one made to specifically boycott or condemn celebrities. The problem with them though is that innocent people or pro-Palestinian supporters who aren't vocal about their stance tend to get caught in the crossfires.

CountCorvinus posted...

If someone isn't going to even acknowledge that what's happening is a genocide, how committed can they really be to stopping it?

That's still no excuse to harass and condemn AOC like she's responsible for it.

TLDR Trump sweeps

Conservatives are too far gone.

Oof.

2017 was a long time ago. Hell, ill fully admit that at that point in my life I thought Trump wouldnt be bad. I was 17 then, and 23 now, and my views are like the polar opposite of what they were back then, after actually experiencing the world.

I dont think its fair to hold a permanent grudge for someone saying stupid things in the past, especially if theyve shown they dont believe those things anymore.

Back then, I was more ignorant when it came to politics. You could say that Trump ruining the country led to my own political awakening.

Nikki Haley is so weird.
She's also a teeth talker which I can't stand.

What does she have to gain from going up against Trump?

CountCorvinus posted...

Then she should really just call it what it is. A genocide. The protestors aren't wrong.

What could you possibly gain from endangering her position. Do you want her to be replaced by someone who's more sympathetic to Israel than Palestine?

Ricemills posted...

It was not just a slight chance, you were trying to justify Duterte's "kill anyone that's suspected as a drug dealer" policy. The one that let civilians to lynch. And on the same breath, you said Trump's is good because he's tough on crime too.

Do you have a screenshot of that post? Because I've been far more anti-Trump in the past few years in 261. In fact, I don't understand why you've never called me out until now.

Ricemills posted...

Now yes, but around 2017 you said things like Trump is needed because he have no mercy on criminals.

I'm not sure I remember saying that, but I do recall being willing to give Duterte a slight chance because the corruption problem was so bad in the Philippines. And that was before I saw how many people ended up dying due to his draconian laws.

I'm surprised no one's made a topic about Super Tuesday yet.

Oh.

Ricemills posted...

My beef with TC started years ago in 261, where he cheered on Duterte and Trump relationship because they both are "tough on crime". My tag on him still the same since that day, "Filipino Trumper".

You ought to stop letting your personal grudges cloud your reasoning here then. Also, I'm not a Trump supporter.

Sorry, but I actually like AOC as a politician and think she doesn't deserve to be harassed by folks who should be her natural allies.
