i really want to take out some time to shout out this particular african-american man named Larry Davis. i saw a documentary about this man about 2 years ago by way of another fabulous guy by the name of troy reed and his street stars docs. b.e.t aired the story on him last night and seeing his story told from that particular point of view really got me boiled about the african-american condition. although there are many advancements for all races here in this country america will always have a love-hate affair between blacks and whites. i am convinced that this will never die and with that said my eyes will always be wide-open to this fact. i have been brought up around many different backgrounds and ethnicity's and i am convinced that we as a country are only concerned with others for selfish and/or personal reasons for the advancement and growth of a personal nature. we say a lot of things as a country but we, in fact, do the exact opposite of what we say we are. and what this has to do with Larry Davis is that our country has done lots of dirty things but when the time comes to atone innocence is displayed while the "criminal" is left to pay for the sins of all. this continues to go on in a time where freedom and justice are spoken of in the same breath.
peace, Janus
