    I have to agree w/ Roland, lack of organization is the real problem. When the stimulus money became available, if you were not already linked into the system, you would not have been prepared for the 10 day window to apply for the grants. As with any grant cycle, you need at least a years preparation to be ready. In my city, there was no public announcement about the grants, you had to be an insider to know otherwise the money was gone before you could google it. There was money for prison programs and HBU’s but you needed to be at the well before the water arrived.

    I’m not a christian because of the preachers hypocracies and the members holier than thou attitudes.preachers have never come together,they are all worried about how many members they have,how much money they will have to spend,who’s church is the biggest,and who’s the best at usung rhetoric on their members.so why should anyone care about what the preachers say or do.they mean noone any good.they care about nobody but themselves since,MLK. Died.their as phony as a three hundred dollar bill.pres.obama is way above them and would have to come down to talk to them or hear what they have to say.

    It’s unfortunate that Black Pastors are going to be pained by Barack’s positioning but Rev. Wright, Rev. Manning and Rev. Jessie’s comment about kickin’ the Prez in the nuts gets us No Respect. Good Lookin’ Out Black Leadership! How can he trust us? We are the hardest on each other. Do not get me wrong; I’ve got a doc**ented complaint against his campaign folks. We’re at an arms distance w/ Chaka Zulu tendencies, it’s our nature. Kenya feels pride and benefit; we want to feel it too w/o competing with Kenyan humanitarian aid.
