[Mpls] 5th Ward Elections

[Michellehill64 at aol.com]

I disagree with your opinion. I think the blame lies with both Hodges and 
Samuels. My ancestors are direct descedants of the "field Negro". The group that 
the house slave snitch off, for trying to escape, causing severe punishment. 
Calling oneself a field slave or a house Negro is counterproductive no matter 
who says it.

I am willing to believe that Hodges and Samuels were both taken out of 
context. Leaders in our community come in all shades, sizes and with different 
views. We have to learn to respect all opinion, even if we don't agree. Great 
leaders to me are Rev. Jerry McAfee, who has changed the life of many gang member 
and drug dealer. There is Mr. Ronald Edwards, Spike Moss, Francine Chakolis, 
Evelyn Eubank, Council Person Natalie Johnson-Lee, Council Person Don Samuels 
Representative Keith Ellison and yes Booker Hodges and Al Flowers. 

If they coud only work together.
