Al Sharpton will rally in Baltimore on Monday

[RulerRa7]

Well, if black folks in Baltimore had sense enough to create "other" alternative media and information mediums, I would. But, we don't have one... Philadelphia's WURD 900 am is a real Black oriented, news and information driven is a prime example of what can be done.

Turn off WOLB dude. It'll do wonders for your brain cell development

[RulerRa7]

You see, if Black folks had their own businesses and industry, we could hire, train and develop our own children so they won't have to beg for welfare, beg white folks for employment, and etc.. It's common sense.

[RulerRa7]

Interesting...

They already do. They call it, "Baltimore".

Baltimore needs a WHITE business, art and entertainment district.

There already is one -- it's called Harbor Place.

My two children are both employed college graduates, who's we?

What are you doing to make this a reality?

There are several black-owned federal contractors out there that are mutli-millionaires. There's a black owned painting business that serves Howard county that's doing very well. Dr. Ben Carson has done pretty well for himself, although not a business owner. What planet are you living on?

I do support the concept though the funding should come from Maryland State and U.S. Government sources in the form of grants and tax free loans to fund this noble cause.

A billion would be a good start with billions more to follow.

I say the Montford Ave corridor is a good epicenter from which the exponential growth would radiate outwards enveloping less affluent neighborhoods and making them whole again.

I think you are the reincarnation of mayday

Local ex-Senator Larry Young, along with some other hooligans have proposed this. Is it a economically and socially viable entity to partake in?

I would say no. Why focus on one area when there are many that need attention.

In other words spread the culture throughout the city.

This is the second time this ignorant story has reared its head on this board and over the airwaves. It is just as silly as the first time. Anyone is free to open a business in the official Arts and Entertainment district on North Avenue.

Actually, you are apparently the sole proponent of the zone/district.

MM, thanks, I'm just so excited about tonight's address.
