1st off, let me apologize for not writing on this thing for so long. I'm a rapper not a writer. Blogging is something my GF is trying to get me into. I appreciate it, but I'm still just starting.
Something that kinda bothered me....
A few weeks ago, there was a lil black boy outside my job selling candy bars. The 1st time I saw him, I ignored him of course and kept it moving. Then he kept coming around, and I decided to support him. I was thinking "I'm going to support this lil black boy." I was still hype of Obama swearing in, and I was feeling very entrepro-negro like. I was happy to see this young man trying to make an honest living and not sell drugs, or join a gang.
Well, being that I work in a predominately Caucasian area, we started to receive complaints that the lil boy was stalking the customers. My first thought was, y'all just don't want him to be here because he doesn't look like you. Then my manager went over to the store next to us and found out the boy was buying the candy from them, then would stand outside the store and sell it for more than he bought it for. HMMM, hustle or robbery. Either way he made it happen for a couple of days.
The thing that bothered me the most was that I really wanted him to succeed and be something. Be the best candy bar hustler/seller/entrepro-negro there was for his age. Then it was brought to my attention that he may have not even been a child, but an older man, closer to my age playing the part. DISAPPOINTED???? Highly. Im also mad I didn't think of that 1st LOL.
