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.

[@TheHereigoagain]

@@cb142 Happy Thanksgiving CB! I'm with you, I grew up in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood by the Lake. At that time it was a melting pot of races. Vietnamese, Cubans, Puerto Ricans, Blacks, Mexicans of which I'm one, White's and I'm so glad I rubbed elbows with everyone, that's how I grew up. Nowadays I'm a young 60 I live with my son who is 24 his girlfriend is white and we're in Kansas in an all black apartment complex. We're very comfortable here, our neighbors look out for each other, and we have never had a problem! I'm so glad that I brought up my son without the prejudice and hatred. We disagre e with either side trying to use race to sow hatred and division. We live our Lord Jesus Christ creator of us all! And it seems the Lord loves variety and we see His handywork as wonderful. God bless you CB with good health and peace. Thank you for communicating!

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

I'm 51 now and several years ago I went to the skating rink for a child's birthday party. 5 minutes in, it occurred to me how strong your leg muscles have to be to be able to skate like that. I never thought about that until that moment. And I've never forgotten how to skate, or how badly my legs and hips hurt after that. Lol. This video takes me back to the good Ole days!
