Sorry but I agree with Ynkedad. I was raised in Opa-Locka which is in Northwest Miami-Dade for those of you who don't know and I was always at the other side of this argument.
As the only "cracker" in school, I spent most of my childhood and teenage years being harassed, jumped, robbed, shot at, sliced at, etc. I wanted to learn but had a really hard time trying to do it and trying to achieve anything because of those things Ynkedad was pointing out. I don't give a sh!t about how they feel and any of that crap. I think they've been handed everything on a platinum platter for the last forty-seven years and have simply failed to take advantage so how is that my (our) fault?
If there is one positive out of this, it is that "their" excuses, their perverbiel "wall" if you will, has now fallen. No more racecard, no more B.S. The funny part that gets me is that Lord Barry is just as white as he is black. It's all in the marketing.
