This is to all of you people who come to my blog to research who I am.  I am a Family man with 3 children that are repectful and responsible young people.  I have a wonderful wife who has shown me and taught me more about love then I ever thought possible.  I am a Man of convictions who disagrees strongly on certain cozy relationships in our local government.  I am a man who believes gangs exist and they exist in our little town of Podunk U.S.A.  These gangs are here because of the military and the people in the military.  They know they exist in their ranks and they still do nothing to keep it from spilling over into the community at large.

I am a man who detest ignorance and the people who propogate it throughout the community both through their actions and what they teach their own children.  If you are unable to spell check or proof read a post before putting it on that just goes to show how lazy and ignorant you yourself are.  If you want to be heard through posting then people need to understand what exactly you are trying to say, not some mumble,  jumble crap that no one understands.

I think that as a community we need to come together in order to rid our community of gangs, however I don't feel as if the African American Community is willing to do what it will take in order to achieve this goal.  I don't believe the government officials we have elected are willing to do what it will take either.  While I believe that the current trend of gang violence is black on black crime over territory and women it can change at a moments notice and is therefore the whole communities problem.  I believe the churches of the African American Community need to step up and take a pro-active role in the change of culture, yet they do nothing.  I believe the local chapter of the NAACP needs to take a pro-active role in the change of culture as well, yet again they do nothing.  One needs to look at the situation at hand and ask ones self why are these two leading and affluent groups doing nothing??  Are they of the same mind as the Chamber of Commerce and believe that Gangs don't exist here???  I have heard the word gang more in the last few weeks then I have ever heard  it in the past, by people who were or are actual Gang Bangers, so therefore how can the Gang problem be denied any more???  It can't be denied and the groups I have mentioned along with the local and state governments need to be involved to envoke a change in the thinking of these individuals.

The African American community needs to quit harboring these criminals and quit acting as if it is O.K. to do what they are doing and take a stand to gain control of the youth that you refuse to raise in a civil manner.  It is a sorry statement to say that "I'm gonna get mines", and then do it at any cost whether legal or illegal.  To not be respectful of others and to steal from those who work for what they have is pathetic and what is even more pathetic is it is considered common everyday practice by some and as long as they don't get caught or as long as no one gets hurt it's fine.

The minute one gets busted for dealing or stealing though no one knows anything about it and it must be a mistake because junior wouldn't do such a thing.  If junior gets killed because of his actions then the whole family gets their little "R.I.P." t-shirts made and tries to portray them as a saint who never did a thing wrong or didn't deserve to die like that.  That's ##### and in my mind the family is as guilty as the one who pulled the trigger or dealt the drugs.  They all like the little gifts and the wad of cash junior has on him at all times, yet he doesn't have a job and no one questions where the money comes from.  Guilty, guilty, guilty, The culture in the African American Community must change in order to provoke change in these individuals.  If it doesn't we will just see an increase in violence and a bunch of ambulances at the court house carrying off mommas who refuse to believe their babies would do anything like that.

So don't come on here hating me for speaking a truth you know exist but don't want to change.  If anything hate yourselves for allowing it to continue,  but then turning around and acting as if you are a Christian, because no Christian would allow this kind of garbage to take place.
