This ish right here!

This ish right here...this is that shit that makes my azz itch.

For all those that wanted to pull my black card because I voted for the white woman in the primary election...

For all of those that campaigned for "change".

For all of those who told others how stupid they were for not exercising their right to vote in last years presidential election...

For all of you...

I have one question?

Where were you during this years mayoral and city council elections?!

We had a piss poor turnout...period! The polling center judge asked me why didn't I bring my friends because hardly anyone on my street came out to vote. One of the ladies told me to make sure to wear my "I voted" sticker because maybe it would remind someone that they needed to get out and vote in today's local elections.

There was a black woman incumbent running for her city council seat...I bet y'all didn't even know we had a black woman on the city council. I'm talking to my fellow Austinites...those that wanted my head for being a delegate for "Hillary", they said with disdain.

There was also a Hispanic woman running for the seat of the white man who more than likely will be our mayor...nothing wrong with that, I voted for this particular white man, but how many of you know the difference between he and the next?

Still talking to my fellow Austinites...epecially those of color.

Here is my issue...this goes for everyone.

The stimulus money that the federal government is dishing out...

Well, your local officials are the ones that determine if that money is accepted and how the funds will be allocated...

So remember this...

Change starts at home, and one man does not change make.
