Hate this. Saw on the news that they were likely to give many of the construction bids to AA contractors, which I'm sure are reputable but isn't this Chinatown? I get wanting to help small businesses or people you believe have been cut out of opportunities like this but shouldn't a majority of the bids go to people that live or look like the majority of people in that area? I could be off base and I'll accept a better informed POV.
All of this is becoming more wrong. The Sixers should stay where they are. I say all of this as a black person.
