I spent MLK day in the South Boston ghetto, visiting my Little Brother. In the ten minutes I was parked in front of his house, one of his neighbors decided to celebrate King's vision by smashing in my window and stealing my GPS from the dash.

I hope that the black community will take some of what Obama said to them to heart. Alain Jon,

Funny that that speech didn’t get much news coverage. I hope that the black community will take some of what Obama said to them to heart.
