Homestead mailing list

I didn't have time to read the URL, but I will. I think that an Obama
presidency will change things for black people. I hope that he
continues to speak about personal responsibility for all Americans. I
think that he may take a "Bill Cosby" stance on some black issues, one
of responsibility.

I heard that on an MTV interview when asked about local municipalities
that pass laws against "low rider" pants, he said it was a waste of
time. Then he said, "That being said, brothers need to pull up their
pants."
