Nandiii sis its funny you said this cause as i read this, i had a weird feeling too.. it was like yeah he spitting truth right there but hearing it from a white man when as u said we live it everyday does nothing to change the problems. All most people do is tell u the problems and never give u any solutions. Thats always been an issue for me. And the fact that u cant trust too many of dem is another reason for that " feeling". But one thing i must say about michael moore is that he has made many of the white population very uncomfortable. i have seen his documentaries, Roger and Me as well as Farenheit 9/11 and the things he put out there really made u stop and think some shytttt. i know he pissed a few people off with those documentaries. And to be quiet honest even with that weird feeling there was still a part of me that was glad to hear the truth coming from someone, cause not too many like hearing it or for that matter even telling it. By the way that article was actually an excerpt from his book, Stupid White Men... How Ironic huh???

I don't know why but....it made me kinda angered at him or ashamed that he was telling such truth from the other side.... like.....

"stromin my face with his fingers and singing my life with his words..."

It felt like when somone says to you " I saw what they did to you and that was fu**** up!!! "They treat me bad...but what they did to 'you' and are 'still' doing.... is really awful."....

He sees it ....We live it.

No sh*it Sherlock?....Tell me?

While you were living where I could not live and working where I could not work and your children were going to schools where mine could not go

While you had this position where you had such a clear vision of mine and your "so called abuse" What did you do?.... then?...

What are you doing now towards alleviation of the situation?

I mean..while I'm certainly glad that you jotted down all the info and pretty much hav'nt missed a thing.

I hope that the fact that "you feel my pain" aint all you have to bring!



Thanks for the confirmation...I really needed it...
