LAST QUESTION FOR A WHILE..

are you satisfied just to come on here and claim the problems is blacks, or claim the problem is whites??

is that what you whole concept of living is all about.. ???

do you see a broader problem here than that..??


have you ever stopped to think how much more fueled racism becomes when the economy get's worst.??

is it simply because .. everyone is struggling to find out how to pay their bills.. and the jobs are gone, the industry is cutting back, and the services that are offered as insufficient to meet the needs of service requested..// becase labor has been cut.. and the CEO and managment has had their salary increased, and their retirement insured.. but you... you are having your retirement. converted to 401K and if you pay nothing you get nothing.. so do you buy enough groceries to last till pay day.. or do you contribute 10% to 401K.. Opps... now .. what about church.. there's just not enough income left to make that contribution and suddenly.. they church sends a note saying you are subject to be dropped as a member for lack of dues payment..

yep.. these things do happen..

So this issue is bigger than just the kids. fighting.. it's the things that anger and agitate the families in their homes .. of which the kids hear.. while the family is talking and talking... seeking someone to blame... and then they get down to blaming it on racial elements..

but the same element is true in the black home as the white home... they want to pay their bills , to eat and have some of the same options of life and recreations and substance's of sorts... as in the white homes..


and the disparity.. is in both sectors.. and the stresses that come along with it..


so where in this is this not an item for State leadership to address.. when it can be as it is.. a deterrent to any income creation industry to come to our areas.. or even our state.. becase our strife has boiled over in the streets and exhibited thru our youth.. into the racist element of conflict..

and lives hang in the balance.. and no one wants to see that the responsibility of this event resides with the parents.. who are the legal voters and representer of the family.. that .. by way of.. allow the leadership in this state to remain absent in performance..


now young lives are torn.. while people call each other everything short of flat out using the "n" word.. and the "h word..

it's pathetic.. and we are the adults... now we must certainly ask ourselves how adult is that.. ??
