All the inner-city elementary schools around our neighborhoods are closed. Rows of vacant lots and dilapidated houses all over our communities and no (black) politicians are willing to plan a strategy to restore these schools in our neighborhoods.

Where are the lottery and our property tax dollars for the inner-city communities to rebuild the wards back up? All the politicians know how to do is talk, but no action is being done.

Politicians give little care about politics in their wards, but they can march about Trayvon Martin? The inner-city community is in disarray and I don’t blame the inner-city youths feeling discouraged and neglected, as I do.

The (black) politicians need to learn how to become leaders on their own instead of following the white man’s dollar and need to fight for their wards to be improved.
