First of, let me start by saying that I am a liberal black man who lives in NYC. I have never voted for any republican and do not see myself voting for one in the near future.

That said, I am sick and tired of people constantly criticizing the stop and frisk program without offering any viable alternative.

In my neighborhood, there are way too many knuckleheads who think carrying a gun is what makes them a real man.

Most of these knuckleheads walk into our local barbershops brandishing their guns like it's the latest cell phone. A few of my friends have even complained about been robbed at gun point while playing a friendly game of poker at the barbershop.

It has gotten to the extent that anytime I notice two young black folks walking behind me after getting off the train on my way back from work (usually around 7pm), I am nervous to death because I don't know what might ensue afterwards.

This is ridiculous because I am a black man who should not feel threatened by other black people especially when walking in a black neighborhood.

More below the fold.

I just finished watching morning joe where Axe promised to shave his mustache on the show if Obama loses PA, Michigan,and MN. Couple that with the new CBS and PPP polls and things are looking good for team blue. I cant remember the last time i saw Axe this confident. Made my day.

Joe promised to grow a beard on the show if Romney loses NC or Florida.

Made some changes to my previous version.

Does anyone follow this crazy right wing site called hot air? Talk about people who despise Obama. It is amazing to read the outright hate their readers have for our president.

I will say this and continue saying it, this election is not about Obama. This election is about future of the American middle class. The right wing is looking to turn this country into one of those third world countries where power is held by only the very rich. Most of the people voting for this kind of change are poor people who do not care as long as the black guy is out of the WH. They know Romney is a liar and wont do anything for them however the end justifies the means for these folks.

May God help us all.

P.S- This is my first diary and some have accused me of trying to drive traffic to that site. That is not my intention. I have been reading them a lot lately in order to get a feeling of what the other side is thinking and i feel that has really helped me see the magnitude of why we need to win this election. A lot of us stick to our traditional liberal sites and fail to see or know how much vitriol the other side has for Obama and the progressive cause.

To those digging into my old comments to insinuate some motive, yes I used to be very disappointing in Obama mainly because of his pandering to these folks.
