I’d just like to commend you for having a forum that stands out from the pack in the world of Blogs. A co-worker forwarded me the link to the Paris, Texas story a few days ago–stunning that American media has largely ignored this situation–and that I learned of it first by way of the U.K. I’ll be reading the YPB Guide regularly, and thank you for providing the forum.

marc s. chimed in:

It is the responsibility of successful African Americans to lift the Black underclass out of poverty. One solution is to persuade young African Americans not have any children before they are married. Or at least unlit they are in their late twenties or early thirties. Poverty in the United States is usually the result of having too many children, lack of a good education, and lack of fiscal prudence. An ounce of pregnancy prevention is worth a lot less drama in “the hood”.

I wanted to bring to someone attention about the laws in Ohio. I’m not sure if this is the same with other states, and also not sure if this will help to get anything changed. But for anyone with more than one offense, you cannot get your record expunged. Whether it’s a misdemeanor 4 or a felony 1, if you have more than one then you will be stuck with it for the rest of your life. Regardless if the offense occured a decade ago, you will still be discriminated against in the professional world. I realize that this is a personal gripe, however i feel that i paid my debt to society for my 2 misdemeanors a long time ago, but i still cannot receive a better title in the IT field because of that. I could see if I didn’t have a degree, and also a few years of experience. Please excuse the grammatical errors and my ranting. Have a great and blessed day.
