Born and raised in Gary, Indiana (WEST SIDE COUGARS BABY!), I believe issues of race in the US cannot be ignored and left to a “I wish it would just go away” state of mind.
In spite of all that occurs/has occurred in this country for minorities, I believe this country is the best place for a black person, to date. My parents and their parents parents have been TAX PAYING citizens (THEY HAVE ALWAYS HAD JOBS) of this country and has bled and slaved for this country.
This is my country as much as it is any other persons (and I mean this with every ounce of my being). I care for it. My daughters deserve the opportunity to prosper in it. I will not stand idly by and allow special interest entities (oil companies, pharmaceutical companies, big corporate businesses, stock investors/speculators) destroy what MY fore-fathers, the decendents of slaves, literally bled for – the right to live free.
Imagine if the US was operating on all cylinders of equality. The types of prosperity that can be had for all those who work hard for it.
I’m not for giving anyone anything. If the playing field was level, I believe many issues that affect the black community in a negative manner would be lessened to an extent to which it’s levels would mirror those of the white community.
This blog serves as my take on these concerns as well as issues that show/displays that life’s water under the bridge comes from the same source, no matter whose bridge it flows under.
Yo, Brotha. I wrote a blog post on Obama, and I was given a link to your domain here. I really like what you are throwing down in here.
What kind of sites do you link to? What community issues do you discuss?
Oh, and did you pledge?
At any rate. The handle is HiScrivener.
Peace.
Yo, yo, check this out man, might be worth a comment:

This could become McCain’s Macaca comment of 2008, you know? I thought it was an amusing video at least …
Faireastside, you might be interested in my comments on “That One.” You can find it here.
Brotha … kudos to you for this blog.
these blogs are fake. you are not black. youre just another jew trying to steer public opinion to your zionist worldview. this blog only proves how racist you jews really are.
All I got to say to that is “wow”.
I am an Indiana native myself. I’m from Richmond, but my mom was born in East Chicago, IN and had relatives from Gary. So I feel some sort of connection to the region, even if its just by sheer relation.
