Kanye West has offered to fully pay for the tuition fees of Gianna Floyd, the six-year-old daughter of George Floyd, a black man killed last Monday by Derek Chauvin and three other accomplices, his colleagues in Minneapolis Police, who looked on while Chauvin choked Floyd to death with his knee.
West has set up a 529 college savings fund as part of $2million worth of donations to African American people who were killed by police and white people.
Also to benefit from Kanye’s largesse, according to reports, are the families and legal teams fighting for Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor.
Recall that Arbery was killed in February by white men, father and son, who hunted him down and shot him while he was out jogging in Georgia. His killers said “he fit the description of a burglary suspect.”
Taylor, who was an emergency medical worker, was shot and killed in the comfort of her home in Louisville in a “no-knock warrant” as police officers busted in without warning.
The officers claimed they were looking for a drug dealer who had been kept in custody even before they busted into Taylor’s apartment
Also to benefit from West’s donations are black-owned businesses seriously hit by the impact of coronavirus and struggling to survive.
