A Letter That Can Go Out to 99% Of Big City Mayors

From The Milwaukee Drum:

A little Friday Fire…
How much longer are WE GOING TO STAY SILENT BLACK PEOPLE!!!!!
The mayor has been in our CITY HALL for toooooooo long as our unemployed Black Men have suffered without jobs as downtown has boomed. He attempted to take over MPS a couple years ago, but in Typical Tom fashion he lost that one too (3x loser for Gov.). Why are Black People sooooo afraid to say that the mayor is ineffective and has done little (I’m being generous) to get Black Milwaukee back to work.
Don’t give me that ish about Talgo…that train has left. Century City is still a concept…where are the jobs? What legislation or serious proposal has Teflon Tom authored to address Black Unemployment in this town?
Check for yourself at the mayor’s webpage and look through the list of “Highlights” listed and find a SINGLE mention of BLACK UNEMPLOYMENT! Maybe I’m being a littl hasty…let’s check out the mayor’s issues on his website where he talks about economic development and job creation. Maybe the mayor talks about BLACK UNEMPLOYMENT here.
Nah, nothing for you BLACK PEOPLE!!!
Ok…
Since 8 years have passed and study after study has been produced about BLACK UNEMPLOYMENT and NO LEADERSHIP has come from the mayor’s office, I suggest that maybe the mayor is a visual learning. If BLACK PEOPLE took over city hall and that section of Wells St. then maybe the mayor would understand WE ARE SERIOUS. Last summer, thousands of people went to Wall Street in New York and made a statement that they weren’t happy. A movement called “Occupy” sprung up all across the country.
Why not OCCUPY WELLS STREET and let the mayor know that he know longer has our support or vote.

Take out the Milwaukee references and this letter can be sent to the mayors in New York City, Chicago, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Oakland and just about every urban mayor and mayor of cities that have a large minority populations.  And while we are at it, why not send a letter to President Obama as he has abandoned the inner cities of America.
