as I said , I don't know their financial situation

money is money, and whether I have 5 of my own and 7 of another or 7 of anothers and 5 of someone else,, it still means I have 12

and its futile to pinpoint if the four I spend was from my five or their 7,,so I don't play that game, when I don't know anothers financial situation


now if the donations are enough for the price of the funeral, but the cars price IMPEDES the payment of the funeral, that's another story

but if both are paid,, than the goal(alleged goal) of the contributors was met

I didn't read any detail in the op nor did I say anything about her race(not sure the op did either)

so perhaps that's not MY hangup



I don't know her family situation either, and a new car is a very healthy investment for reliable transportation with kids,, I just got one myself and the difference is UNBELIEVABLE from the clunkers I was used to,,,, I KNOW I can safely get my daughter anywhere I need to and no reliance on anyone else,,,,its quite amazing really

I cant imagine the 'quality' of having to wait around on a bus in an area where people are shooting kids? can you?

or worrying about breaking down in some clunker in such a place?

and I don't know what funds were used for what, which was the original point

so If I am donating, to me, it should be out of the goodness of my heart, and if there is some left for something else for that person, Im not the type who is going to consider it sweat off my back
'


,,that's just me, whatever race the recipient is,,,

yes, until that " recipient" fly's by you in a nicer car then you Lol...

BTW...She's black, and yes you did know that..so don't pull that "I didn't know the race BS".. Like you did when you stated that you didn't know most football player were black... Lol.. that actually cracked me up... you may have tunnel vision.. but your not blind, right?

But just in case you really didn't know ( no chance), Hockey players are all white. Basketball... black... ( except the coach and some token white European players) Baseball... mostly Latin.. so , there ya go... your PC incorrect lesson of the day, compliments of Devildog.

Lol... ;)

He son would have wanted justice and cooperation with the police to find his killer or killers. These parents(and I use the term VERY loosely) are bottom feeding lowlifes who are profiting off their own son's death. This is definitely a new low.

She is not a suspect. She could of paid for a cremation in advance or upfront & left. And still corporated. * a big funeral is really... just for the press .. in this case & may make her a target *
If she had any real survival instincts she would of left.

I think the boy knows/knew how his parents are ( a 9 yr old is past the age of belief that parents are saints) & would want his mom out of the chaos, drama, limelight & 15 minutes of fame & off of F@c@book . Just as much as he would of wanted bio dad to act like a real man & a father.
But none of that happened. Let's not forget..this boy " was on his way to grandma's house ". It is a shame she (legally) couldn't handle this.

Only the mom had a ONE time only, shot of any kind of normal life.... & she blew it.
She chose a material object & social media for sympathy, & then complains

Her quote:
“I am so tired of ya’ll social media and ya’ll Facebook people bashing me."

Why...is she even on it? Especially now.. ? Putting her whole life & every move out there. If she wanted 'star treatment' , then being criticised is part of it.

Maybe some morning talk show like "Good Morning America " will pay for a trip to New York, buy her a dress & hand her a teddy bear to hold & cry over as a shrink interviews her. And she can go on F@c@book saying, "Hey y'all guess where I'm at? And they have room service ".

Ghetto Fabulous
She can post on F@c@book now how no one cares.
And find something to blame it on.

dont assume what I know, especially about something as trivial as sports , which I DONT Follow

as to the rest, I dont ASSume

a quick google search comes back with these facts

68.1 percent of nfl players are black, (which wouldnt mean that any mention of a football player means it is a black person)


93 percent of hockey players are WHITE

8 percent of baseball players are BLACK

but none of this would cause me to ASSume mention of a player was a description of their race

that would be like ASSuming mention of an american meant white people, because the MAJORITY in america are white


its not political correctness, its factual accuracy


and how was I supposedly to 'know' the race of this woman,,,?
