NBA player Kyrie Irving joins the fight, donating $40k to the GoFundMe...
From The Daily Mail
Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving has donated $40,000 to a 93-year-old South Carolina woman in her legal battle to protect her family home from an encroaching developer.
Josephine Wright, a long-time resident of South Carolina's picturesque Hilton Head Island, is being sued by Bailey Point Investment Group for allegedly blocking the developer's progress on a 147-unit complex next to her property -- a 1.8-acre plot that was first settled by escaped slaves and has remained in her family since the Civil War. Wright inherited the land in 2012 from her late husband.
The developers have reportedly made offers of up to $39,000 to buy Wright's plot, but when she refused, they began a campaign of harassments that included slashing her tires, throwing trash onto her property and even hanging a snake from her window, she alleges.
'I guess they figured I would become so unnerved with the harassment that I would say take it,' Wright said at a recent press conference. 'But they don't know me. I am here to fight for what I have.'
A gofundme page was started in Wright's name, which is how Irving came to donate $40,000 to her legal efforts. That campaign had raised $248,263 of its $350,000 goal as of Wednesday morning.

Good.
Tyler helped also.
Bless his heart.
Good on Kyrie.
They know how valuable the land is, and insulted her by only offering her $39,000. That's reason enough to stand your ground, because people swear you're stupid.
Great! Hope her descendants will keep it too.
God bless this woman. I pray that many more will continue to rally around and support her. May she get to keep her land and be left alone. God bless Kyrie for support!!!
He let the Red Headed Step Child and Mrs Wanna Be White live in his multi million dollar house so how come Miss Perry didn't cover this poor lady's entire $350k bill? We know he can afford it. And dont @Me neither cuz I said what I said.
I get paid over $87 per hour working from home with 2 kids at home. I never thought I'd be able to do it but my best friend earns over 10k a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The potential with this is endless.

What a blessing she is and what a blessing Kyrie is for donating to Miss Wright.
If she was YT she'd have raised over a million dollars by now. Many people that I know couldn't care less about the cultural and historical significance of her keeping her land in the family. Unfortunately, they don't know what it's like to have or own anything of (potentially appreciating) .value. Luxury designer goods and vehicles are nothing compared to real estate/real property.
I'm glad that Tyler Perry stepped up, too.
The war never ended.
Wonder where Charlemagne the C00n is at? He loves his precious SC so much; I guess his support is only for the "colored people" that share his republikkkan views smdh. I agree that more black millionaires and billionaires (especially the ones from the south) need to step up and help this woman
Good I'm also throwing some roots, on those greedy ass developers, I'm so tired of them and their cheaply built manufactured, over price "houses" that cause black mold of the lungs. That old lady need to use some dirt from her land invoking her ancestors in some hoodoo rituals, to run these greedy predators off. Age of Aquarius you come for one of us, on some unrighteous, unjust bs, you will have all of us to deal with!!!
Support from the BPP, FOI, or a gun club is useful, not cooking up some nonsense magic potion with bloody weeds. If that stuff was really about anything she probably wouldn't be in this predicament..
Where's Oprah? She always talking that spiritual this and that. She probably got some relatives buried on the property. LOLOL
