one sparked this post. he aspired to be a rapper and get out of the hood. got close, but no cigar. now he's 43, a bunch of kids, 3 baby mommas, and working for his wife's daycare. he seems to have a love/hate relationship with black folks/himself. the type that says shit like "mike brown wasn't innocent" or "trayvon Martin wasn't no angel" as if he truly believes that either deserved to be shot down like a dog in the street because they may not have been perfect.
