A Blog dedicated to taking a look at my people and trying to uncover why it is that we do and say the things we say that only lead to our own detriment
Stew, I thought about it and thought about and have decided that I really think somebody found somebody who was actually homeless and was able to exploit them for the purpose of making this youtube video.
I laughed and i cried at this post, mostly because i see so many of my brothers living this way everyday. My own brother was on the streets for 5-7 years. He lived this life until he sought help. A vietnam vet, whose chemical and alcholic dependencies took over...he is alchol free now and living a better life. I know we laugh freely, brother is doing what he knows to do, but it is also very sad, very, very sad to see any of my brothers living on the streets.
I certainly hope that this Utube was not made to mock these people! It made me want to hug the guy. It's disgraceful that in such a wealthy nation anyone lives like this! Yet how many billions do we spend on wars and killing people? And we're supposed to be the most advanced of the species? Makes one wonder.
Twin...I wish I could ^5 that brotha..who could make light of a serious subject! if he's at peace with his plight, then so am I. do u know how many mean homeless people i've come across?? I don't see it as exploitation...that man seems to be cognitive of his surroundings, and I don't believe he could be played for a fool..i believe HE CAN play people for a fool, though!
i was feelin' his 'overturn' stick, and his gold plated ride (shopping cart) lol...all he needed to do was break out with key fob to turn off the alarm and then pull the cover off of it..that would've been the highlight...no, no I know-a stripper pool in the middle of the freeway underpass, and a pic of Al Pacino as Scar Face...that would've set if off! lol and i love the camera effects...genius lol how did u come across this vid??

I was checking for decorating tips. In this economy, many of us are one paycheck away from furnishing a piece of street.
