Default

I don't always agree with his methods, but Rep. Antonio Parkinson's heart is in the right place. He also is trying to keep his seat.  I questioned his motives when he has held his annual "Block Party For Peace" carnivals. But that brought the people out unlike anything else. Then he tried to pass legislation to bring businesses to a ghost town with taxpayer support. Needless to say, I didn't agree with that The only thriving stores in what used to be a mecca is Walmart and Kroger and they're looking neglected. Raleigh just isn't the same.

I do agree with this initiative though. He is trying to reach those he is trying to help on their own level. At the bottom where they don't have a clue.The people he is trying to help don't know they need help yet. Ignorance is bliss. It's like when Charlie Rangel tried to reinstate the draft. Just like they're handicapping themselves with these unsightly tattoos like the athletes and pop stars. Carmelo Anthony and Hannah Montana (Miley Cyrus) are already rich. Unsuspecting young gullible blacks are missing out on a better life by default. They're finished before they're started. They haven't been taught.
