		<description>Ending the failed War on Drugs would go a long way to ending urban violence accross the nation.  Further, it would free up the police to actually focus on real crime instead of wasting their time raiding grow houses and killing innocent people in botched drug raids.

Its amazing that after the abject failure of alcohol prohibition americans will still believe the same lies from the government about how these substances need to be banned for our own collective good.  The government makes more money off drugs being illegal than the drug dealers do.  Between tax dollars for their bloated budgets to the millions they get from illegal asset forfeiture seizures, to the direct involvement in the drug trade via the CIA and other covert agencies to the massive amounts of money for the courts and the prisons, the only folks who want the drug war to continue more than the drug dealers are the government officials and private companies that profit from its existence.

You on the other hand are far less safe, and far poorer for the 80 wasted years of this failed violation of the constitution.</description>

		<description>The article was long as h3ll, but I did manage to read most of it. I can see where the writer was coming from. I realize I am not an easy pill to swallow for people who would serve to discriminate against me because of my race OR those of my own race who refuse to stand up and be accountable. I refuse to take it from either side.

Speaking for my people though, we will remain in the rut we are in until we get our @$$es in gear and employ the knowledge, ingenuity and wisdom of the ancient Africans that we are so quick to lay claim to. I had the same inadequate educational system as well; I made it though. Still busting my @$$ carrying a 3.92, finishing my college degree while managing a full time career.

My high schooler carries a 3.87. We ain&#039;t playin&#039; up in here! So folks out here can MISS me with the B-S. That&#039;s just the way I feel. 

..And I STILL have yet to read a response from that individual to tell me what they would have me personally do to better this situation. That&#039;s how it is though. It&#039;s all empty rhetoric.</description>

		<description>Well DirtyDawg I have to make another admission. I did NOT have a &quot;pot to piss in&quot; as you say. I guarantee there isn&#039;t anyone on this blog that has held more food stamps in their hands, eaten more syrup or mayonnaise sandwiches than I have, or slept with more roaches and rats than I have.

I have ducked more bullets than any of you can ever claim to. Having said all that, I ain&#039;t never felt the need to blow somebody&#039;s brains out or piss on them because of what I didn&#039;t have. But I DID get pissed enough to focus on my dreams and set out to pursue them and make some things happen for myself. So really, you can&#039;t tell me &quot;-ish&quot; Dirty. I know what the real is, been there, came up in it and all that. Do play that defection game with me. I know what I see.

Keep the victimhood to yourself, it serves me no purpose. Feed it to the &quot;weak&quot;. I am not one of them.</description>

		<description>Hey howboutthis, it&#039;s the poverty and the hopelessness...not the color.  Plenty of tattooed, skin-headed, rednecks running around out there doing as much mayhem as any.  A few years back I was burgled.  Among a lot of other things, they got my golf clubs - which according to my wife was probably the best thing that could have happened - turns out is was some white guy visiting some other white-guys, living crammed into a rental house a few blocks over that had an expensive drug habit and no job.  

It&#039;s never a good thing to blame an entire people for the actions of some, be they black, brown, yellow or white.  Cause no matter what color you are, if you didn&#039;t have a &#039;pot to piss in&#039; I suspect you&#039;d do whatever you had to to get one, even if it meant pissin&#039; on somebody else.  Guess that would mean you&#039;re just a &#039;dirty thief&#039; too, wouldn&#039;t it?</description>

		<description>jt
&quot;What’s wrong with Florida?”

&quot;Probably has something to do with retirees. Driving around at 45mph with their blinker on.
Don’t take this wrong. I love old folks.&quot;

I kinda agree with jt. I have always complained about old folks driving. But. Now I are one.  But. I still drive like that crazy 16 year old who got his license in 1958.  You might want to keep out of my way.  But.  I am sure my days of &quot;Driving around at 45mph with... blinkers on.&quot; are coming.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;What’s wrong with Florida?&lt;/i&gt;

Nothing, Kyle, I love the sun in my eyes...

on my bare feet, my shoulders.

Lotsa people....but they drive O.K. as far as I can see.

How many silver vehicles down there? Did you know silver vehicles disappear in the sun, rain and fog? I learned that only recently.</description>

		<description>I think if both whites and blacks sat down and shared a meal of KFC, watermelon, and a few bags of pork rinds while listening to Lil&#039; Wayne, and while wearing their pants way down past the crevice and grabbing their crotch, there might be some hope that we might all get along. Pass the fatback, bro! Ain&#039;t nothin&#039; but a g thang!  You know what I&#039;m sayin&#039;?</description>
