Disagreement Can Be a Good thing.
Sun Gazette Reader sends AAAP publisher a letter.

"Blacks need to work harder!"

Dear Richard James,

I have read your articles for some time now! I respectfully disagree with much of your opinion. On your recent article you state that Black home ownership is not up to par with that of white people in Wmprt. And that needs to change.

What needs to change in my VIEW is the ATTItudes of blacks (influx) in Wmsprt. The attitude that someone owes me something! “The ATTitude” your columns make people believe they deserve to own homes when they don’t work for them. This policy HAS Alredy Failed – Fanny Mae –Freddy Mac – ACORN – Who are you trying to kid?

Equal Rights we have achieved – Equal Results are not Guaranteed – If you have no work ETHIC – you do not get results – DRINKING – Drugging + whineing doesn’t get you Homeownership! Black People or the MAJority need to realize you need education + HARdwork to AcHieve the results you want in life.

Too many Black people believe that welfare is better than starting out on the bottom of the Totem Pole because “I Ain’t working for minimum wage. Welfare pays more.” Hence they will always be stuck in Neutral going nowhere.

How many of these uneducated Black Dropouts with “The ATTitude” rap TALKING, pants hanging down, white T-SHIRTS would you say were employable? How many have you hired to help with your newsletter?

Also you say you like statistics For use as measuring sticks? What do you say about the 70% of Black men who after Getting BLAck women pregnant desert them + don’t FINANCIALLY support them? Should we blame whitey For THAT?

How can poor Black children make it in life with Just mom in the home? Let alone own Homes? Are you Kidding us?

How long will Black people Blame the white man for these problems. BLAck People need to be responsible + Buck up, get a job, look in the mirror get off the WELFARE cigs, AlcoHol, Dope clean up get back to God + Church like they did years ago. We don’t have a perfect SOCIETY but it’s

[A reference, written in a different color of ink, relating to the my use of statistics was inserted the bottom margin of page 2. RJ]

P.S. Google (w.w.w. REV. MANNING) A website you should visit more often iF your interested in Truth About The Black situation. (He’s A BLAck PASTOR)

[The letter continues on page 3.]

better than all the other communist nations + 3rd world countries – opportunity – has always been AVAILABLE – college– AFFIRMATIVE ACTION– student Grants – student LOANS– you need work ethic – less whining –

Have you ever seen Americans trying to row a boat to Castro’s Cuba? THAT’S because we despite our faults are the greatest nation in the world.

Black people need to see the Glass as half Full – change their attitudes and go for it, or they will always be stuck in neutral or reverse. Thank you for your time Mr. James

Respectfully, a FIFTH Generation Home owning, HARd working (50-60 Hours a week) self employed Businessman who hires Black people with The Right ATTitude

Definition of “Right ATTitude” = I come to work on time, I work HARd even when the owner isn’t watching and I Am deserving of a good wage to support my family. Over

P.S. Richard I am not the only white person that sees this situation as I have just STAted – Also I am not anti-Black as you might assume. I’m Just stating the Facts As I see them. If people have good credit, good work history they will own homes – that simple.

GOVERNMENT HANDOUTS Keep YOUR PEOPLE weak + ENSLAVED TO THE Democratic Party! The Party of SLAVERY! Please wake up after 400 years! What Party did Lincoln BELONG TO RICHARD? ANSWER? Republican Party.

ALSO There are mexicans ORIENTALS + Koreans who are in this country who can’t speak the language who are doing well + own businesses. Because they work. – 1st Generation people of COLOR? Hmm! Successful!

[On the back of the envelope , that had no return address, was an additional note:]

work is HARd! HANDouts Are EASY, But Destroys your Potential For Fullfillment.
