Expect the violence to escalate as Latinos become numerically more dominant with a comensurate rise in political and economic clout.Less gov freebees for blacks equals violence.Read an article not too long ago where blacks got the daylights kicked out of them by hispanics in a HS that was formerly all black.No sympathy.
Hi NewDestiny, thanks for posting this...it should be great. It would be great to have alot of Freepers there!
Thank you MrNatural. Are you in the L.A. area? This is a great opportunity to sound off in person. I guarantee Rev. Peterson moderates very lively and stimulating townhall meetings!
Hi Abigail - I live down in San Diego and won't be able to make the trip up. I first saw Rev Peterson (on television) at the March for Justice in 1998, and I've followed his work since then. He's a good man doing good work, and I'd like to see him in person some day.
I'm sorry you can't make it. But he has church services on Sundays (check the website) and those are also like nothing you've seen before....most fun and most enlightening.
I wish he could call those Hollyweird types on the need to clean up their own locale before going national.
BUMP and Godspeed Rev. Peterson's efforts!
Thanks for the ping. The only way you could get me to downtown L.A. is if God put me there. Especially, when there is "lively conversation" going on.
I believe in brotherhood. Those guys believe in muthah hoods. God WILL sort this out, though many will not like His solution.
Hi, what do you mean? You think he should clean up Hollywood before going national?
Hi freema and thanks for the bump...
thanks for the ping abigail2...I'm sure it's going to be good. I should be able to make it there.

More than welcome! )
This is going to be good. We need Freepers there. Glad you are coming Fabian.
Fabian, you've been to townhall meetings before, are you afraid?
Molon Labe ~ Abigail!
I'm just working late hours but should be able to get off a little early so I can make it.
