Al Sharpton in Memphis to speak against consolidation

Rev. Al Sharpton will be in Memphis, TN to speak against consolidation…what I want to know is…WHY?

I tried to put my very ill feelings towards Mr. Sharpton to the side as I thought about his “appearance” here in the MidSouth, but it was hard to do so knowing that such bigger issues are going on in the black community that Rev. Al Sharpton could be making “appearances” at.

Come along with me on my journey to becoming a better person…….

Recently I attended an award ceremony at my job where I was one of the employees being honored. I even got the opportunity to walk across a makeshift stage and shake the President’s hand (yay me)  This was an event that I had no intention of attending mainly because I don’t care for my place of employment. Not only do I not care for the place, I have had very negative thoughts about various people here that included punches to the face and slaps across the lips….yes it is that serious.

I have had some serious issues with some of the people here and when it escalated to its highest peak I almost lost complete control. Had I not been saved I would have laid down my religion (my pastor doesn’t like that quote lol) and most likely I would have been taken out of the place in handcuffs.
