"mmmmmm! They didn't lash out at Louie Farrakhan????"

Sooooo true! 'Minister' Farrakhan has some well-dressed JBT's with dark glasses, ALWAYS accompanying him... and they look like you don't wanna mess with'em!

Somebody help me here. The crowd consisted of young men 16 - 24. Some wanted schooling. Well, if they're 16-18/19, can't they just go back to high school? Doesn't the city offer GED classes if people can't hack the regular program?

They want job training? You can't tell me that Chicago isn't full of proprietary schools offering training in everything from culinary arts to truck driving to massage therapy. The community colleges offer a ton of job-oriented programs.

What stops these people from opening the phone book, picking a school and a program and getting the training they want??? Why do they need the gubmint to hold their hands? (rhetorical question. we know why.)

I'm getting pretty sick of black people (and I'm one so I guess I can say this) crying 'poor me' without doing anything themselves to change the situation.

Does JBT = FOI?
