To N.A.A.C.P., & African-American, Veterans at Focus On The Family : The Importance Of Being Annie From Blackstreet:

It's past time to fly in Condi Rice's approved, Wounded Warriors, who are female, African-American, disabled, enlisted veterans, in wheelchairs, from poor ghettos. For some MTV reason, nobody believes that African-Americans exist in that category.

How about we host the Virginia Tech "Annie/African-American, female, U.S. Marines, disabled veterans" scholarship awards for the Baltimore PTA's, with African-American, U.S. Green Berets, who are wealthy, successful business owners?

Some African-American, U.S. Green Berets are now officers, and M.B.A.'s. Some may even hail from Baltimore, Maryland's ghettos. I may have even been allowed to clean their public restroom toilets, or carry their bag of dog food at PetsMart, as a teenaged cashier. At least that's what I was hoping for at the time.

***If we support political diversity at the fundraising efforts for Baltimore, Maryland, the poor will be allowed to have more literacy, be hired for more jobs, eat, have school supplies donated, etc. The ghettos in D.C. Metro must be invited to both parties, Democratic and GOP fundraisers. This allows the poor basic necessities, e.g. safe shelters, and, minimally, a Master's of Science degree, that's actually in demand (M.S. in healthcare, e.g., physician assistant/nurse practioner).

In Falls Church, VA, adult, challenged, disenfranchised, African-American men were needing tutoring in reading at Kindergarten-levels. Our public schools have failed in educating them repeatedly. I need them to have their basic necessities, and to actually thrive, not just survive, WHITE, wealthy, atheist, Harvard professors.

We have lost many African-American from the poor, D.C. Metro ghettos to wars, and the ones remaining should remember that the realities of all "Annies" are cruel realities. This world of corruption has to be fought with acquiring marketable literacy, food security programs at all the Baltimore, Maryland schools, recreation centers and universities.***
