This guy whom I have never heard of …might have a point except having lived in the ‘Ghetto' and my family owned a successful black restaurant for almost 100 years and currently being victimized by further ghetto things…humm he is right and wrong and both right. Sound confused? Let me explain first all the real street based blacks have always known that running our mouths to the man which our woman folk will do….the druggies will do or just about any black person in need of a better life will do is the weakness that prevents the revolution from taking place. I tell people all the time that we blacks will never get as organized as the old or current mafia were or are because they control their women folk something fierce and we are the opposite as a culture with snitching the norm for us…because ‘good ole need more' will make a monkey eat red pepper.

However let's look at it from a non criminal black perspective or better still a business owner perspective…one who has something to protect….from the current Ghetto Cancer. Most major cities call it ‘community policing alternative strategy' or CAPs. In order to stop crime one has to help the police…. Police the Community… or it takes a whole village to rear a child and believe me…the youngsters today are in need of the whole village to avoid all the traps set by the powers that be…from drugs, guns, prostitution and the rest of the flea's that go with the dog waiting. I have watch what un-checking the negative issues will do to any successful businesses, family life and community while we wait for the forty acres and a mule or the revolution not to be televised. I think the term is called pandemonium when everybody just goes hog wild…like in the Rodney King riots and hoping nobody will help the man with a solution to controlling us….Ghetto Blacks will destroy others property…they do it daily. Now I understand the hate inspiration but we still live in America and destroying your community cause you feel disenfranchised towards the system is not working for all blacks who are not by choice a welfare black…not to say only welfare blacks are the face on this negative action….cause we both know its every kid that's got to much time on his hand.

The other issue is truly one of emotional understanding and much debate is going on but in truth the guy is right and even for me a tough one…except… when use by a white person…I understand….not cool buddy. I don't want any white people using those words towards my people…at all. So if it will stop them by us not saying them…then so be it….we need to clean up our language first cause they don't understand the use or the context.
