re: Gary Chamber weighs in on St. George

This is correct. I live in St George. I old, kids are raised, so this doesn’t affect me as much as young families. I sent my kids to private school from kindergarten until they graduated. This was late eighties to early 2000s. I made decent money so I was able. It was expensive but , in the end, worth it. So I’ve got a little experience here.

I like to think that most black people work hard and want this best for their families. A black man worked as a warehouse manager for the company my father worked for his whole life. He was a simple man, respectful, dependable. He’d come help fix our cars. Do odd jobs and my dad would pay him. He showed up everyday kept his head down and just worked. On retiring he was a millionaire. He ended up supporting his grandchildren. I don’t know the story about his kids but they apparently didn’t support and nurture their children. But he did. My point is there’s a lot of food hard working black folks. I’d like to think more are like Henry than those that give the race a bad reputation.

I would like to think hard working adults, and I’m talking about all us “white folks” who claim to hate the race baiting quit using it. I think most black adults want to end this cycle. So do we. It won’t end until we get race out of the equation. Just my two cents.
