But you also can't overlook that many of my people are not qualified either. And this is a larger obstacle for employment than the believed racial discrimination. Yes, it is more intense when you are less qualified. But the higher your educational base, the more options are on your plate. Well...

I would ask you just a general question. How many of the loans that you put through, shouldn't have gone through? And would the regulation that you speak of stopped you from submitting the packages?

There is a segment of the population that would not participate in investing. I think that dumb, but they're there. How would you propose they be handled? Don, feel free to jump in on this answer. There really is an entitlement class who will be screaming bloody murder if your plan were to...

Even now the government still offers Section 8 assistance for higher end units. The near south loop area wth units that rent for over a grand are eligible. There are several Section 8's in Sky 55 off 12th street. Same for 1212 South Michigan. Presidential Tower too!

You know what? You need to let him roll. He's on the "back in the day we took a black" kick. And that type of speech pisses off more black folks than he would understand. It's sort of right in the same grouping of the white guy who says, "I have a black friend too!" And there really would be...

I don't try to speak for blacks. I speak for me. And I have several folks who are agreeing with me. See, we don't need a spokesman and that's really the point bub! We are neither right nor left. We're folks who live and succeed no matter who is where. And that's what we do teach. And we're...

Hmm, after reading the aforementioned post, I think you might be correct. It seems that if I want independent, self-reliance I must be in-human. Thanks for the advice. I believe I'll take it.

We'll leave it here then. Thanks!

It's folks like that who make my community help task difficult sometimes. I actually have people that I work with who believe that they can't make it unless America fails. Fortunately, we are not a monolith peoples. I'm glad we have pride, but we also need more SELF-ACTION!! I get tons of...

This is Spin? My people can make it, McCain or Barak! Neither will have a major impact that would outstrip: a) going to class b) doing homework c) spending within their means d) continuing education and training - THROUGHOUT THEIR LIVES FOR LIFE!!! e) saving for a rainy day f)...

Ideological bastard? Interesting, I'll leave you to wonder on your own about my thoughts on you. Wizetrade? It treats me well. So does Ameritrade, and Options eXpress, and so does TC2000, and so does Cool Trade. Oh and so do the ponies, as a matter of fact they treat me best of all lately...

Boy, nothing could be further from the truth. I love it when other folks want to define for my folks what is empowering to us. You totally went off track when you said, "Nothing!" Many of us are empowered now! And that number is increasing daily as we ween our folks off YOUR message that we...

There are folks who I disagree with who participate in every thread. Notice you're here! I can't (nor do I wnat to) do anything about their inclusion nor their right to participate. But the underlying truth is there. He has not done much, PERIOD!!! Now if you can show me where he did...

Oh please, ask me something that's not a campaign story. Try this. Notice in the videos here that he's not wearing the famous wristband: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqCHm1APy8Q&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CmvDQK3k2w&feature=related Now he still owns the wristband...

Let's see, witnessed a Q&A session? Hmm, I don't know that we'd call it a Q&A session as you want with a mic and a reporter. But conversations on how white folks have handled the economy, race relations, police interactions and things like that. Yeah, I was there and heard his opinions. Was...

So untrue. I'm a neither winger. What I'm supposed to give you play by play conversations over the years about all the dumb things that we talk about in the gym? Look, all I'm telling you is we (the group of us) have discussed the theology piece. There's nothing odd or unusual there. They (the...

That's crap. In the last five years of being in the gym I haven't seen not one set of video cameras. Oh wait, there was one TV interview. I stand corrected there. But you need to understand that we knew him long before he was becoming your candidate. Nope, there's no video. Sorry about that! We...

If only we could have video. LOL!!!! You'd swear Photoshopping at work. :D

You should hear some of the responses Barak gave us at the gym to some real questions also. I've chatted with him at a few functions also. That pool really ain't that deep. So before you go wondering about a Fox interview, understand that NEITHER side is big on much this go around. Of...

Ten or twelve key black folks speaking out against Barak and telling white folks that it's ok not to vote for him and he loses by a landslide. And that's his campaign supporters fear right now. They are praying that no major black person takes a counter stand. The thing that they are not...
