PHIL,
YOU STRESSED, "BECAUSE YOU WOULD HAVE CHANGED A LOT OF YOUR VIEWPOINTS ON AMERICA ALREADY."

NOT NECESSARILY. LIKE YOU KNOW ME SO WELL. I KNOW AMERIKKKA IS A PRIVILEDgED PLACE OF SORTS CAUSE OF THE DIVERSITY, DEMOCRACY, AND CAPITALISM. THAT DON'T MEAN IT'S PERFECT CAUSE IT'S FAR FROM IT.

THEN YOU STRESSED, "TRUST ME E, YOU GOT IT A LOT BETTER THAN ANYWHERE ELSE ON THE PLANET."

YOU DON'T KNOW THAT. LIKE I SAID I CAN BE IN A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY RIgHT NOW.

THEN YOU STRESSED, "AS LONG AS YOU TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR EVERY SINGLE STEP OF YOUR LIFE."

WHAT ARE YOU IMPLYIN'?

THEN YOU STRESSED, "LIKE PAC SAID
IF YOU BELIEVE, THEN YOU CAN ACHIEVE, JUST LOOK AT ME, AGAINST ALL ODDS, THOUGH LIFE IS HARD WE CARRY ON."

I'VE BEEN DOIN' THAT.

THEN YOU STRESSED, "EDJ YOU SHOULD START LOOKING AT YOURSELF ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND NOT SO MUCH AS PART OF A GROUP."

HOW YOU KNOW I AIN'T DOIN' THAT? TO PROVE MY POINT, WHAT NAME DO YOU JUST CALL ME? "EDJ" RIgHT? ISN'T THAT AN INDIVIDUAL NAME? DID I COME AS A FAKE NAME PORTRAYIN' A CERTAIN gROUP? IE: BLAK THIS, LATIN THAT, BROWN PRIDE LOAK, ETC.., ETC..., ETC....
THEN YOU STRESSED, "(NOT SAYING TO DISTANCE YOURSELF FROM YOUR RACE OR CULTURE)"

I CAN'T TELL.

LIVING ONTHE SOCIO-ECONOMICALLY DEPRESSED SIDE OF THE TRACKS (DA GHETTO) IS JUST LIKE LIVING A A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY TO ME

NO POLITICIANS WANT TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES THAT CONCERN OUR WELFARE OR WELL BEING...

I PEEPED OUT THAT LINK SOMEONE POSTE ABOUT E. ST. LOUIS AND AS I SCROLLED THROUGH THE SNAPSHOT PIX, I WAS THINKING TO MYSELF ABOUT HOW IN THE EARLY NINETIES THE CITY WENT WITHOUT GARBAGE PICK UP FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS AND RESIDENTS WERE FORCED TO LITTER THE STREETS OR BURN TRASH IN THEIR BACKYARDS ...OR ABOUT HOW ALL THE FACTORIES THAT USED TO THRIVE THERE HAS LOWERED THE QUALITY OF LIFE, EVENT THOUGH THEY ARE LONG GONE... I HEAR THE GRASS IS GREEN, BUT I READ THAT E. ST LOIUS HAS DANGEROULSY HIGH LEVELS OF TOXIC ELEMENTS IN THEIR SOIL...OR HOW THE SCHOOLS ARE SO FUCKIN SAD THAT THEY BARELY GRADUATE 25% OF SENIORS, OR HOW THE CITY SEWAGE IS SO FUCKED UP, IT GETS BACKED UP FOR DAYS UPON END... ALL DUE TO MISMANAGEMENT ON THE CITY'S PART, AND THE FAILURE OF THE COMPANIES TO CARE ABOUT THE HARMFUL EXTERNALITIES THAT THEY PRODUCED WHILE THEY WERE STILL IN OPERATION THERE...

E. ST. LOIUS REMINDS ME ALOT LIKE THE TOWN WHERE I LIVE.... HERE, ESPECAILLY ON MY SIDE OF TOWN THERE USED TO BE TOO MANY VACANT HOUSES WITH KUDZOO THAT RAN ALL UP AND INSIDE THEM, BUT THE CITY HAS STARTED DESTROYING THESE OLD MAKESHIFT CRACK HOUSES AND CLEARING THE LAND INTO VACANT LOTS....

BUT AS I WAS SAYING, LIVING IN THE POOR PART OF TOWN IS LIKE LIVING IN A THRID WORLD COUNTRY PHIL, SO IT DOES MATTER WHETHER OR NOT YOU ARE BORN DIRT POOR- HAVING A SIVER SPOON IN YOUR MOUTH MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THIS OCUNTRY- NOT ONLY WHEN IT COMES TO SOCIAL STATUS OF YOUR FAMILY, BUT ALL OF THE RESOURCES ONE HAS AT HIS/HER FINGER TIPS TO PROCURE A STABLE ENVIRONMENT WHICH INHIBITS A SUCCESSFULL LIFE FOR THAT PERSON WITH THE ADVANTAGE.

^NICELY PUT.

BUT I THINK WHAT PHIL IS REFERRIN' TO IS LAK OF PAVED ROADS, A LAK OF A STABLE gOVERNMENT THAT PAYS FOR BASIC HUMAN PROVISIONS, WEAK INFRASTRUCTURE, HOMES MADE OUT OF CARDBOARD OR WHATEVA TYPE MATERIAL FOUND, FAMINE, LAK OF MODERN TECHNOLOgY, AND SHIT LIKE THAT THAT ARE COMMON IN A THIRDWORLD COUNTRY.
