[@valvacious2793]

To our Black Youth...Put down the guns and pick up the skates like we use to do back in the day... the antidote to frustration, worry, and negative thinking is having fun, joy, and laughter. Skating can bring all of this to your soul!

[@valvacious2793]

Yes, everyone needs to have employment! BUT before you can secure that job you have to go in with the Right Spirit. You have to be OPEN and RECEPTIVE to learn. I have see many of the younger youth walk around with a snarl on their faces with a mean attitude instead of having a smile and an attitude of gratitude. You got to wake up thanking God that you are alive. Some of our youth, have a Narcissistic, Aggressive Spirit. Remember, You are what you consume through your ears, eyes, and mouth. You become what you consume the most. If your dominate focus is on listening to Gangster rap music and violent video games...your spirit will reflect that. Go have some clean fun like skating. Skating and dancing can bring you joy and laughter. Replace the negativity emotions with positive emotions and you will feel better and then go look for that job! You will feel more energized and less defeated. You will have a smile on your face and have a pleasant spirit to meet the HR guy.

It's not over... The human body is amazing. Skating you already know keeps you fit and fucking happy as hell. When we get older people have "old age" bullshit issues due to not being ACTIVE. IF you stay active you can stay fit as hell for a very long time, 60,70, 80 years old even. you will move, be coordinated and strong, you wont' look like a teen or a 20 years old, but you will look fit and in shape and be strong. You won't be clumsy and goofy and stumbling because you gave up on living like many have.

You can still skate if I can find somewhere.I live in Philadelphia and a lot of places have closed cause people don't know how to act and people are scared to let their kids go

[@kimberluna2226]

@@valeriereaves4096 so understandable...sad..cause it's such a good physical indoors activity workout, much safer than riding a bike outdoors, I'd almost say, but being around other like minded people gathering having fun, feeling the breeze thru your hair, is just an awesome healthy feeling & rolling to the tunes... the kids and folks are missing out........

United Skates of America was one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. As an ignorant white girl in the suburbs I never knew how important roller rinks were to the Black community. I was so very sad to see how thousands of rinks have been systematically shut down all over the country to serve the interests of our common enemy: the corportocracy. We need a movement to bring roller rinks back!

I agree. I would go to the neighborhood skating rink on Friday nights and Saturday nights and skate, skate dance for six hours. 8 PM to 2 AM. I had black friends, white friends, Puerto Rican friends Italian friends. None of us had guns, nobody thought anybody, nobody got mad, six hours everybody did nothing but sweat and have fun skating. I would have a different girl every couples skate. Black girl, Italian girl, white girl, Puerto Ricans. Man, I don’t know what happened to those days, but I miss them
