If you’re here in the U.S., today, Monday, May 28, 2007, is Memorial Day.

It’s funny how Mayor John Street can find money for all sorts of things that are non-essential to the city. He can find money for all sorts of things non-essential to the residents — and by residents, I mean the residents of the City of Philadelphia, not merely the residents of one, small section of the downtown area.

Is the issue of loan defaults and foreclosures solely about blacks and hispanics? Not by a long stretch. I know many people who cannot get loans for a variety of reasons. I know people working 80 or more hours a week who can barely live paycheck-to-paycheck. They aren’t black or hispanic. Instead of looking at everything as a race-based issue, instead, start looking at the overall picture and work for a common goal. I guess that isn’t the concern of race-based organizations such as the NAACP, the NSHP, and all the others.

Where’s the National Association for the Advancement of White People? Where’s the National Council of Injuns? Where are all the race-based groups for the so-called “majority” in this country — especially those who cannot get a loan, or, for that matter, those who are in default or facing foreclosure for the same reasons stated in the article at NSHP? The organizations don’t exist, sadly.

I am all for launching the National Coalition of Injuns. Since I am half-white, I will even support launching the National Association for the Advancement of White People.
