I am here for Networking

About Me

I am the Average Black Man. I am a young Black man who punches a clock and goes to work every day. I have never been to prison. I am trying my best to take care of my kids. I am middle income and I grew up in an impoverished community as a child surrounded by crime, violence, and economic depression. My parents raised me with traditional judeo-christian values; and I came up believing my only option in any election was to vote a straight democratic ticket. Increasingly I am coming to believe that the Kennedy democrats of old are dying. I find myself struggling to choose between the better of two evils in every election and neither candidates represent my interests. My grandfather was born in this country, yet I feel increasingly ignored by politics. I am the Average Black Man. I am a freelance opinion writer. Holla at me! Check out my blogs at - http://averageblackman.blogspot.com You may not always agree, but I welcome the debate. I think the dialogue is worth having.

Politics of Personal Destruction
