Tax money? lol! My husband's local technology small business is a sponsor for this, along with many other technology businesses and individuals around the country. It's a grassroots non-profit funded by donations and run by volunteers who are committed to improving our community. Believe it or not some people actually want to do good things for Memphis with their time and money instead of just complaining about what everybody else does or doesn't do. You should all try it some time, and educate yourself before you jump to conclusions about something you know nothing about. And if you're concerned about where your tax money goes, take a closer look at the Pyramid, soon to be White Boys Fishing.

This is why there will never be peace between the races. They SPECIFY a race, & use past sins as justification for racism, now, against people who have not done anything. Double standards.

White girls have everything handed to them on a Silver Platter so they don't have a problem getting any type of training. Just be WHITE!

You know, you f...... idiots get on my nerves! You complain about blacks sitting on their asses not doing anything and receiving government assistance. BUT organizations are helping to teach children a skill that they wouldn't otherwise obtain due to circumstances and you still complain. Sometimes you all need to STFU! These girls are not responsible for their situations. Why not show them programming? IDIOTS!! Stop thinking you are better than everyone else. White people have some sorry ass fathers also. IDIOTS!!
