My painter at my place is black
Edited on Thu Oct-06-05 11:40 PM by IChing
And his owners, corporate masters, slammed him so bad on not getting the job done.
No, fault to him, I know the process and the trade having built two homes from the ground up and being a trim coordinator builder in Hana, and that is doing it all.

Liars, is something I will not tolerate any more in my life it is too short

I confronted his boss today after work and the whole construction crew went nuts and thank me for speaking up for labor, they were all white or hispanic.

I have managed crews of 20 men and know my shit

You don't have to be a black man
to be a nigger.

I said that to my painter (he has two degrees)
and he said:
brother hang with us.

He was very religious and asked me my beliefs on sin
I said I did not believe in sin but morals, ethics and karma

Meanwhile the construction continues and I have one room left to live
but at least no hotel room, and I have not given up my place
after the fire
or the flood.

WE STAND TOGETHER OR ALONE
BUT SOME OF US FALTER AND ARE WEAK
SOME OF US ARE STRONG
SOME OF US ARE INJURED
SOME OF US HAVE THE LOVE
TO GIVE, SO NEED LOVE GIVEN
BUT WE MUST ALL STAND TOGETHER.
FOR ALONE DENIES YOUR HUMANITY AND YOUR SANITY

now who has the most toys wins when they die?

1. Most awesome!
After all you've been through, you still have a lot of personal power.
Good for you!

2. Excellent post, my dear IChing.......
I like your sentence "You don't have to be a black man to be a nigger."

That is so very true......

I have never felt that who has the most toys wins when he dies......

When you die, you're dead...and toys no longer matter, IMHO.....

You are a survivor......I salute you!

:patriot:
