"Caught Red-Handed": Blue Cross Blue Shield Backtracks on Racist Grant Program, Opens Up to White People

The $300,000 grant program, called "Advancing Healthy Food Equity" (AHFE), disqualified any organization with a white CEO from participating, while the community directly served by the program must also not be white.

"This opportunity is specifically designed to support community-rooted organizations that are led by, serving, and accountable to American Indians, Black, Latino, other People of Color, and members of immigrant communities, to increase their ability to engage in advocacy to address the root causes of inequitable access to healthy food," said a spokesperson for the grant in a promotional video.

Now, BCBS has backpedaled - and has changed its policy of excluding white-run organizations from applying for a new grant program.

According to Laura Morgan, program manager for Do No Harm (DNH)—an organization that investigates and spotlights discriminatory practices in medical institutions, BCBS "got caught red-handed when they tried to inject ugly racial politics into their grant-making process," the Epoch Times reports.

Fetterman recently made headlines as the first Senate Democrat to meet with Trump following the 2024 election. He defended his decision, emphasizing his role as a senator for all Pennsylvanians, not just those within his party. “If the president-elect invites me to talk, I’ll show up,” he said. “You don’t get to pick and choose who you work with in this job.” His remarks have drawn praise from some for their pragmatism but have raised eyebrows among Democratic colleagues who are wary of Trump’s divisive political history....
