My Opinion is...:I've lived in Pittsburgh all my life (38 years) and I believe that anyone can get a decent job and make a good living here with HARD work, nothing is going to be handed to you because you are black. Don't get me wrong there is racism in this city but that should not stop you for taking care of business. I've never been out of work and have always had a roof over my head. It's the mentality that someone owes you something that causes you to have nothing. I've visited other cities and the black people there are doing well because they are trying to do well. I've considered moving to Charlotte but I realize that I can do alot more with my money in Pittsburgh. Take a walk through downtown and tell me who's trying to get a job and who's content living on the system.
