The Cali Life

I know I haven't kept up on my blog... Few reasons for that... 1) I'm not in California anymore. I'm back in NYC for the summer. YAY!!! So this blog has no relevance to what's going on now.

The Jews save at least 50% of what they earn. The Italians save at least 60% of what they earn, but what have the Negro saved? Who made those factory silk shirts, and those expensive silk socks that you bought?Who sold them to you, it was the white man. It grieves me, it brings me to tears. When I see a race not of children, but of matured minds play

I know  haven't been keeping up with my posts.... But I will get it to you.
