DISQUS

Having grown up in a predominately white neighborhood, it always made me cringe when my white friends would ask me questions about what they perceived to be our behavior, especially when it came to the images from hip-hop videos. I hated the questions about the style of dress, ebonics, and the level of violence we can employ in situations where violence is not needed.
I could only walk the fence for so long both condemning the behavior and pointing out the social inequalities that exist in America that help create the negative imagery. The conversations were enlightening because, nearly daily, I got a window into how we were being perceived and it was completely enraging seeing how television just created a monster in terms of what it was doing to how we are being portrayed.
At some point you just have to draw a line and say what is right and what is wrong and then get on the right side of the line.

Always good to get good ideas on how to further invest money.

How did you arrive at your yearly totals?
