I don't hate NBR. My parents still live in NBR (much go my objection). My ex fiancee's family's business is based in NBR and will never leave NBR. They are billionaires. It's crazy how life works out.

NBR isn't the problem. People like Gary Chambers are the problem. He represents the majority of NBR residents about as much as David Duke represents whites.

I want the hate to end.

I just want the hate to end.

i think this sums it up. Its people like Gary who creates a certain perception that causes people, who don't live in the community, to get worked up and hoop and holla because they are only seeing what they are told.

I think this guy does a good job explaining why Sterling shooting was justified.

But if Gary really wants to help his community he would tackle the real issues. Issues like... All the unsolved murders that take place in his community because no one says anything to the police out of fear of being labeled "a snitch" which could result in their own death sentence.

If he really wanted to help, he would show the people in his community what resources are available, for them to use in order to improve themselves. He would talk about the importance of education and how focusing on getting out of that environment could help them live a better life.. But.. people like him depend on the uneducated in order for him to have a "relevant voice".
