My BlackInAmerica.com Profile

Why Are You Concerned About Black America:

Most definitely, how can blacks be determined to be lazy when the country was built on the free labor of blacks. We are often disillusioned by the promises that are never fulfilled. I have taught a group of 22 guys the trades, carpentry, bricklaying, plumbing, electrical, and cement mason to have them stand before the mayor and say it was God & Ms. Hilda who let them make a difference in their community for the 1st time in their life. So many want to do good, but never rec. the opportunity.
