I am with U. Last weekend, at a family friend's party, discussions turned towards religion and politics. Being someone who likes to observe before speaking, I did just that. It was so much none sense going back and forth, I just chuckled to myself knowing these individuals had no clue about anything they were pontificating about. I wasn't going to say anything but finally I had to speak up and squash the myth so called black communities not having anything etc. I know I probably casted pearls before swine that evening but I could not let that lie continue without mentioning the 100 year period of businesses and infrastructure built within communities and not from handouts.
As more of THOSE few, who 'WILL', do the work, do the work, the story will get out, until then, I must tell YOU to be careful, because, SWINE will BITE the hand that feeds it, WHENEVER; the hand contains pearls.

Joseph Louis Barrow (May 13, 1914 – April 12, 1981), better known as Joe Louis, was an American professional boxer and the World Heavyweight Champion from 1937 to 1949. He is considered to be one of the greatest heavyweights of all time. Nicknamed the Brown Bomber, Louis helped elevate boxing from a nadir in popularity in the post-Jack Dempsey era by establishing a reputation as an honest, hardworking fighter at a time when the sport was dominated by gambling interests.[1][2] Louis' championship reign lasted 140 consecutive months, during which he participated in 27 championship fights, 26 championship fights during his reign; the 27th, against Ezzard Charles, was a challenge to Charles' Heavyweight title and so is not included in Louis' reign. All in all, Joe was victorious in 25 successful title defenses, a record for the heavyweight division. In 2005, Louis was ranked as the #1 heavyweight of all-time by the International Boxing Research Organization,[3] and was ranked #1 on The Ring's list of the 100 Greatest Punchers of All-Time.[4]
Louis' cultural impact was felt well outside the ring. He is widely regarded as the first African American to achieve the status of a nationwide hero within the United States, and was also a focal point of anti-Nazi sentiment leading up to and during World War II.[5] He also was instrumental in integrating the game of golf, breaking the sport's color barrier in America by appearing under a sponsor's exemption in a PGA event in 1952.[6]
Detroit's Joe Louis Arena, home of the Detroit Red Wings of the National Hockey League, and the Forest Preserve District of Cook County's Joe Louis "The Champ" Golf Course, situated south of Chicago in Riverdale, IL, are named in his honor.
It is amazing, who was relative to whom, and what was done to destroy the connections.
