A food bank in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has come under scrutiny for only providing food to people who are black and indigenous, telling white residents not to take advantage of its resources.
Mykela ‘Keiko’ Jackson launched the Food Trap Project using a Minnesota state grant. The project was intended to help poor residents in need of food who live near the Sanctuary Covenant Church in North Minneapolis. According to the Daily Mail, the pantry was open as of July 27 but was forced to close and relocate just months after opening when Jackson tried to prevent white people from obtaining food.
The pantry had a sign on the door which read, “The resources found in here are intended for Black & Indigenous Folx. Please refrain from taking anything if you’re not.” A local chaplain, Howard Dotson, claimed that when he personally went to the pantry, he was denied service because he is white.
“This is not building community, it’s destroying it,” Dotson said in a statement to Alpha News. “I went over there and confronted her. I told her that I saw the sign and I asked if she really thought she could take grant money from the state and discriminate against poor white people.”
In response, Dotson filed a civil rights complaint, which prompted Jackson to call the complaint “political violence.” Dotson also claimed that Jackson told him in person that the pantry was only for black and indigenous people and suggested he use the church’s free pantry across the road.
“There was no one there directly turning them away. They felt entitled to the resources that were not for their demographic – white privilege is real,” Jackson said. “We hope these white patrons can go about their day and not harass us anymore.” […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
