Its always about "race" with some people. Stop complaining, no matter what race your are---if you see a problem, do something about it, make a positive change.
ReplyDeleteYou spend more energy pointing fingers & complaining about blacks and hispanics, and Obama, than you do making changes to whatever "problems" or "issues" there may or may not be.
