To make this streetcar “user friendly” Mayor Barrett must eradicate the “unwanted.” As riders and new businesses move in, we will be moved out!!
Remember what happened at Northridge? Been around there lately? Well the same arguments are being made here. This “white rail” is the catalyst to making downtown and surrounding areas more attractive to potential streetcar riders. We will be out of sight and out of mind once and for all!

“Billionaire Barrett” set to spend Obama out of Office! $$$$ 95 Million and Counting $$$$
First off we had “Diamond Jim Doyle,” now we have “Billionaire Barrett” who feels Obama does not have enough on his plate and wants to spend Milwaukee and the Federal coiffeurs into the poor house! Once again turning his back to the poor and inner city community he keeps claiming to care about so much and wants to help. Remember the speech Mayor Tom Barrett gave when he lost his bid to Walker for governor? I DO! He promised to refocus on Milwaukee and US, but still here we are with unemployment in the city at its highest. We even top the nation in Black unemployment rates, but we got $$ 60 Million locally for streetcars? You’ve got to be kidding me!

What happened to Milwaukee’s War on Blunt Wraps
Some time ago Common Council President/Alderman Willie Hines banned the sale of drug paraphernalia by local gas stations, corner stores, and local businesses. Today you can find these products everywhere you turn so I wonder what happened to that ban and why now are blunt wraps and designer drugs in the convenience stores with little to no restrictions on them. Many places you go, you can find someone smoking their swisher sweet blunts right out in public with or sans weed. I thought we were working on stopping the promotion of drug use which included things that imply drug use?

Some weeks ago Mayor Barrett announced that he was leading a team of business and community leaders to rethink Wisconsin Avenue, to aide businesses in that immediate area and help the area become more economically viable as well as appeasing to the eye. Well that is all swell, but seems the mayor forgot about a project he was going to revitalize in his campaigning for mayor, help prosper and redevelop. What happened to developing Bronzeville dear mayor?

People are waking up to understand that supporting rich union white men means less and less WE get in government benefits and discretionary spending for those of us needing government assistance just to get by these days.
I can only think what one thing remains constant.

Once upon a time Kwanzaa rivaled Christmas and negative white people actually feared the power and unity created by this EVENT! Our kids learned history, tradition and honor. People lined up at Reader’s Choice and other black stores to buy their Kwanzaa kits and made it a truly powerful, enriching holiday. News stations gathered around to show our pride and power, now they just run a 30-second fluff piece on December 26th.
Really, is that how it’s going down?
