LETS CHANGE THE SUBJECT.......A DIFFERENT BLACK MAN


Have you had the opportunity to hear Harry C. Alford ?.......

He is the CEO of the National Black Chamber of Commerce.He is from California and after
Military Service as an Commisioned Officer in the Army and an executive and sales person for
Proctor & Gamble,Johnson & Johnson and Sara Lee He embarked on a career that has helped
create International Business Opportunites for black persons in Africa,the Caribbean,and South Africa

He was testifying before Congress relative to an enviroment bill which in his opinion was ill advised since it would eliminate more jobs than it created and further not make the air cleaner
or decrease our dependence on the Mideast.............

Barbara Boxer,Congresswoman a proponent of the bill asked him during questioning if he had considered the opinion
of the NAACP AND ITS STAND ON THE BILL.....................................

Well......Then the " fireworks " started.......To paraphase the discussion.....He called her racist and in later interview said she was the kind of person that liked blacks as long as they stayed in
their place.........

He referred to her treatment of Condolezza Rice and Supreme Court Justice Thomas in their
confirmation hearings.....................He in effect stated if you are a professional black beware
the " Boxer "............Check it further on FOX or O'Reilly...........

Mr. Alford seems to be involved in the issues of the day and is helping Blacks change their economic status....................without using the race card,but rather the " old fashion way"
namely.........education and hard work.........

LET'S LOOK TO THE POSITIVE NOT THE NEGATIVE IN CAMBRIDGE.......that appears to support victimhood........

BAD THINGS....HAPPEN TO GOOD PERSONS !!!!

Darryl Littlejohn was convicted by a New York Jury today for the murder of Imette St. Guillen who found herself in the "wrong place at the wrong time".It appears that after a night of having a party with her girlfriends;she ended up by herself and became the victim of Littlejohn who was employed by the bar that she went to alone to have a late night drink.A student from the University of Vermont under similar circumstances met the same fate in Burlington,Vt. the previous winter.

                            I taught a criminology course last year and we discussed victims and whether their putting themselves in "harms way"made them responsible for the demise that occurs.The discussion among the  students was "heated" and ultimately inconclusive.

I am not one to preach fear,however,I ask all you young ones to use common sense and stay with your friends.Follow your gut reaction and stay alert.
