Apathy, ignorance keep Memphis down
My family moved to Memphis in 2000. After a brief residence in Cordova, we settled in Midtown. Since 2003, our home has been burglarized once, our cars have been broken into twice, and my business has been burglarized once. The last car break-in occurred in broad daylight on a busy street, and I happened upon the burglars, who were driving a shiny new Cadillac Eldorado. I was very hopeful that Memphians would be so fed up that they would vote for change.

While I love and respect both parties, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party have been historically willing to follow the long patter of using the African American as a political football. Promise them everything - give them nothing. Every White politician knows that by manipulating the language deceitfully and pandering to prejudice by misstating and misapplying terms to existing relations of the races, they can attain powerfully-negative cultural symbols of Blackness. A crafty appeal to popular prejudice against Black people coupled with undesirable conditions, i.e. slavery, stupidity, servility, poverty, dependence, ignorance, which make Black people hated.
America's time for change is Barack Obama. Fundamental change as demonstrated by the voters of Iowa. Not judging the can...

Home-grown tradespeople
Once again, the American public is being duped by our government officials - starting at the top. President Obama is seen in news releases touting the rebuilding of bridges and putting Americans back to work. Not so fast, Mr. Obama. All these "American" projects are being completed by Chinese companies and Chinese workers. How in the world is this helping our job market? Our construction workers are more than capable and even more willing to do the job.
