I live here in Cincinnati and what I hope they really see is that our City is far from healed from the 2001 killing of Timothy Lewis. We still have a “TOO DAMN HIGH” murder rate of our children, we still have jobs that are not given to us and we still have police authority abusing their shields and all they seem to do is want to build buildings that attract the non minority. We have a section called Over the Rhine which is POOR and has hundreds of condememd buildings and our streets are flooded with homeless families, but yet they want the River bank to be Oh So PERTY!! Come on NAACP look at the real picture and make Cincinnati politicians, police and all those that can make a difference do so and really make Cincinnati something to be proud to come visit besides the Jazz Festival!!! WAKE UP!!! we still fighting and crying to be a proud black community!

Damn I posted a nice opinion of how we are a joke and our City is covering their asses and it didn’t post and they say folks want to hear the truth not BET

Senator Obama… If you’re reading this, will you PLEASE autograph my baseball when you come into town. I know that you’ll be busy, but like the saying goes… “It doesn’t hurt to ask.” (PEACE)

Iam glad to see this happen I know BET is trying to get the knowledge and the word out to our black sister and brother regarding this in the community and things that effect us as a society, but i agree with kymmie that we have a lot of things to wrk on here in this city, iam a resident of the west end and every time i o around the community it look like deaf to me and i been there for four year and it still the same. the people are getting younger by the minute. I try to do as must to give back to the communtiy by support the youth, i work in serveral different community in cincinanti and it all the same. cincinnati does focus on thind that not really helping the poor people of this area. dept of human services is a joke. it really doesnt help job training. the people that are teaching is not real educator or even skill enough to do the job. they spend more time putting people in jail then trying to help fix the neighborhood or the community. It cost more money to send a young man to jail then it is to send to college to get educated and trainable so they can find a better job and a better life. but that to easy they like the family stress and confused and uneducated. so times i hate this city. i really do. it not cultural diverse, we as a people shouldn have to explain ourselves as a people and then some. It to much go on here ant this city. I hope ya do something to help make a difference, because to be honest, what is the major really doing to make a difference, you really dont see or hear from him. i try to work with the youth, i coach cheerleader to young girls ages 5-15years old and you be surprised that all my girls come from different walk of life, if it good or bad. And they just want something to do. because right we have a growing number of teen parent, a lot of older man are trying to have sex with these girls and they are giving them std’s, so this is just one issue and topic, but i glad to see the fight is still going on but the struggle is what need to conquer. also to kymmie the boy name was timothy thomas

PRAISE THE LORD! I pray that there will be PEACE in Cincinnati during this time of unity and that the affairs and plight of the African American community are addressed and a plan is put into place to help those in need.

GOD bless America!
