You are probably too young to remember but, you should ask the black people living in Phili if they considered themselves american when the FBI bombed apartments, and shot up almost all of the members of The Black Panther Party there a couple of decades ago. Some of these people STILL don't consider themselves american because of it.

I'm too young to remember that, myself. Anyhow, are these people STILL living in Philly or whereever? If they are, why are they STILL HERE? There are many countries, islands, areas where they can go and discuss their dismay, etc. about the good ole US of A.

My thoughts: I am not looking for a "amen" corner, nor am I looking for someone who doesn't agree. I could care less.
This is how I feel:

I wouldn't want my son or daughter to enter into the military. But for some, they don't/didn't have a choice. If they LIKE doing their job as in protecting the country, then I LOVE IT!

This country will NEVER be a PERFECT UNION/NATION, just like LIFE isn't. But, if one does not like the set-up here, go live in a desolate, indigent area. Some nations are so poor that they make those living here in the projects, receiving WIC and other gov't sponsored funds, they make them look like Kings and Queens.

Heck, you MAKE your life here in America! Whatever your situation is, that's it. Stop complaing and get out there and help YOURSELF and OTHERS!


We ALL have an opportunity, if one decides to let those opportunities pass, oh well...IT'S ALL ABOUT CHOICES!



I've been out of this country and folks don't have it nearly as well as we do, with all the "ya ya", "bs" we have to go through as AA.
I ain't going nowhere. I'll remain in the USA until I pass on! TRUST!
