A venture capital firm has agreed to end a small business grant contest for Black women business owners all because salty conservatives filed lawsuits against it. It’s not a loss, however, it’s a victory, according to Fearless Fund CEO Arian Simone.

"We wanted people to really know we’re being bold here and saying 'Hey, we're going to have billion-dollar companies run by Black women,'" said co-founder Esosa Ighodaro.

Black folks are being naïve to expect that we might have the same unemployment rate as whites in this economy, in this nation, as it exists today. This is what we need to do right now.
