I am a Black woman who owns a small business receiving special grant support beamcause of my demographic status and this country's history of not giving entrepreneurs like me a chance to succeed.

As Trump said in his infamous message,

YOU COME AFTER ME, I'M CONING AFTER YOU, Ed Blum.

This is the vc fund being sued by white supremacist, Ed Blum. It's called the Fearless Fund. An interesting name coincidence.

Second, I think all the Black- focused VC funds need to join together immediately and start a legal defense fund to counter the lawsuits collectively. White VCs who consider themselves allies would also be welcomed to help fight Ed Blum and the racists coming after the Black-centric funds.

Lastly, I think the Black VC community should find a candidate small business owner to file a lawsuit against Ed Blum for unfair business practices and show a court where hundreds of White male-led VC funds intentionally have a history of never funding Black applicants. Sue Ed Blum for helping.
