First of all let me say that I believe all men were created equal. God gave all of us the tools to accomplish in life anything that we would like to accomplish. Although there may be more obstacles for some then others with a made up mind and hard work anything is possible. Nevertheless the reality is the world is made up of leaders and followers for even the Bible says "wide is the gate and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction and many there be that find it. But straight is the gate and narrow is the way that leadeth to life everlasting and few there be that enter therein. Which seems to explain why so many are still willing to follow a man who has lied to and deceived us from the very beginning of his administration with his smooth talk, charming ways and empty promises. Even before he was elected i'm sure he had his plans for Detroit and it's pocketbook. Had we did our homework rather then looking at him as a homeboy insisting because he was born and raised in Detroit he knew what we needed we would have nipped this playa in the bud long before now. I too had high hopes for him even though I didn't vote for him because I felt he was too young and street savy at the moment to run a city like Detroit. But after listening to one of his mother's speeches I soon realized the saying "you can take a person out of his enviroment, but you can't take the enviroment out of the person" was definitely true. The saddest part is even some Judges, Preachers and Elected Officials still believe in him, not because he is good for Detroit or it's residents but for their own self serving purposes. Some have even jeopardized their own political hopes to be elected or re-elected because they have fallen victim to his charm and benefitted by his family and friends plan. So the next time your near or hear a Kwame supporter beware for they could be contagious. If you don't believe me ask Monica, Barbara and Martha.

A gentleman indeed. I am the president of a community action group in the city of Detroit established to promote dignity, honor and respect for it's citizens. People treat others the way they do because we allow them to but if we first respect ourselves we then can demand the respect of others.
