Of course this isn’t the case for everyone but I can definitely see how that can happen.

    Ray from D. C., he grew up with my family and I remember him as children going to visit from the north to D. C. He and my younger sister were te same age two years behind me. He was kool as a child even while I was a college student he remained kool with me. He never involved me with his affairs just talked about my family and us as children and those memories. He liked that I was kool and knew information about music, clothes, dancing and social activities that hadn't reached D. C. We were more progressive than D. C.

The 1960's I was a MUSIC HEAD, "MFSB". "Love Is The Message", a 1960's classic still played today. I went to Club Tracks D. C., Odell's North Avenue Baltimore's version of Paradise Garage, but it wasn't even close. Paradise Garage opened 1977 I was there. David Macuso's private Loft parties I was there before Paradise Garage opened. Club Zanzibar 430 Broad Street 1979 Labor Day Weekend I was there TOO. I had relative's that were before me that took me with them and allowed me to play music as a young D. J., at these venue's. Leviticus 1975 I was 12 playing with big cousin's D. J., team. Underage at that time very much a minor. More information to convey. Lol! A STR8 MALE then and remain today NEVER engaged with ANY adversities EVER.

Marshall Jefferson, Curtis McClain, Sterling Void, Bernie Mac, Jesse Saunders, Wayne Williams all long before they became legends playing on those playgrounds.

One of my other homeboys is gang leader found in the tent dead. Another one of my homeboys, did 32 years and he didn't even do the crime. And he didn't complain and he got out and he had a heart attack within a year and a 1/2. Make it make sense. You're a black man living in a white world.
