Something must be done.....



The above clip has been circulating the net for the last few days and is just one example as to why I changed political affiliations. This occurred a few days ago in the Jamaica Estates section of Queens, NY. The perpetrator, described as an African-American male who pummeled the 101 year old woman in this video has been connected to another attack on an elderly person in the same area. Click on the video (if you dare) and go directly to the Youtube video site where the clip originates-racists are making comments like it's no tomorrow. This is the type of scene that Dr. Cosby is talking about-owning up to the fact that a disproportionate amount of crime is being committed by young Black males. This is not to label all Black males (yours truly included) but it is incumbent of the law abiding and honorable men of color to speak up and take control of our communities. It is also imperative for us to stop making excuses regarding racism as the sole problem afflicting Black folk. We have enemies amongst us that share our complection as well. Take another look at the clip if you're not sure-if it's an elderly White female today, it could be your Black or Brown mother tomorrow. I guess aberrant criminal behavior just doesn't fit in Reverends Sharpton and Jackson's schedule. This madness has to stop.....
