Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post (again ;) ).
I think Black History Month has its place as a tool of education, and it's better to have a dedicated month than nothing at all to make people think about it. But then, I'm neither black nor American and far be it from me to say you can't have your own opinions and feelings.
This is an issue that does not get any attention. Your ideas are logical and make the most sense. Will keep an eye on this issue and see how it pans out. Thanks for writing!
As much as your situation sucks, it is great to see that you are "still happy, smiling and laughing regardless of your situation". A positive mindset can make all the difference in how your life moves forward.I hope you can make 2013 turn into an overall positive year.
Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post. This is an interesting issue which I had never considered before. I agree with your stance that Prisoners should either have an absentee ballot or not be allowed to inflate a district at all.
Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post. While I am Caucasian, my only guess on why Unity is weaker in the Black community could be because of the continued racism in our culture. I think the system is set up to add more barriers for Black people to cross just to get the same opportunities as people of other races and it makes everyday life more like a shark tank where you have to fight with others and step on others to achieve things. As for what a solution might be, I have no idea.
Do you remember that old sy-fy flick the pod people? When ever the pod people spotted someone that was still human they would point, open there mouths and make a loud noise so all the other pod people knew that they saw a human, that's how I feel being a felon. Listen I understand that there are laws rightfully so, we need laws, but should you be stamped for life so everybody knows, now with the Internet all people have to do is click a button and all your information comes up, how do you think I found you? Randy all the Internet does is collect information, (to be used later in a court of law) the governments way of keeping tabs on it's citizens, be careful what you write! not that you would have anything bad to say, anything said, can be interpreted what ever way people want it to be, ( for example) Took a nice walked in the park today. ( interpretation went to the woods, bought drugs, he's a felon, that's what they do.) okay enough with that shit, it brings me down.
