GRA:I had a firsthand view of what blacks are doing wrong(as they always do).I was driving to a grocery store when,about 5 blocks away from my house,I saw 8 blacks on a porch--with one white woman.Not more than a mosquito separated any of them.When I was driving back,the whole group of them were walking down the sidewalk toward a park(Richmond Park).It was like a moving huddle. Stupid.And the stupidest of them all was the white woman(20 something). --GRA
