  Where is the father? As a trainer for the NYC Parks Department program for Welfare moms I trained dozens of women to become Certified Nurse Aides. The Parks Department had an outstanding job placement program and contacts with some of the best Nursing Homes and Hospitals in the city. We couldn"t get any of the women to give up their welfare for a real job. What no one is willing to admit is that these women enjoy the freedom that they have to mate with any available male and party, party all weekend long. Women in my classes would spend every free moment talking about "their man" and what party they were going to next. One in particular made it a habit of lecturing her classmates on the virtues of oral sex. Society is willing to pay them off to keep them from rioting.

  Color lines, race and economic propoganda. I am sick of the talk that whay is going down in America today is in any way race based or anything other than a problem for all Ameruicans regardless of color. There will always be these little pockets of dicrimination, but if you really want to be honest all races and all people recieve some form of discrimination. It is not just a color problem, Where the hell does this nonsense come from that slavery is only a blsck problem. Look at history, look at the real facts slavery never ever has been just a black problem. We must first bre truthful about history and when attempting to solve the really heavy problems all people must be included. When I hear you talk about some women on this tape and call her an African I get angry, She might nave black skin, but I will guarantww you she is not African, she is an American and about as African as I am. Stop the crap, econo,ic recovery and justice must be for all and not just call racism at every ####ed turn. Stop, stop, stop rhis constant lying about history.

  Talking of race,I see some discrimination in the media. Their are few asian, latino, and, indian people especially young males in the media, which is not correct. This nation is made of many different nationalities and should also be seen in english commercials, movies, shows, programs. This issue is never discussed by the media.
