1. Amen.
I don't dwell on the following much because I pray for those who have wronged me. However, I have had things stolen from me in the past few years.

2. In all cases, the perp was someone who was less "fortunate" than I was. Two stole my money. One stole my iPad.
The loss of money caused me to lose my car back in 2014.

3. In all cases, the perp was someone of my same race.
4. Two of the perps were Democrats. I don't know the party of the iPad thief.
The money thieves had the nerve to look down their noses at my old residence in South Central LA. Called my rather genteel neighborhood a "ghetto."

5. In reality "ghetto" is a mentality.
And there are few more blatant displays of ghetto thinking than ripping off the person who helped you.
At least don't cut off communications.

6. I even sent the money thieves Paypal invoices. Afterward, they deleted their email addresses. I'm over it.
7. 6. All that said, like Sharika, I determine who my friends and my enemies are by their actions, not their color.
8. I've been that way for as far back as I can remember, but getting jacked by my "brothers" and my "sister" merely confirmed that I was right all along.
9. However, I have many, many TRUE brothers and sisters. Some look like me, others don't.
I'm going to see as many of them as I can next month. And that's what my own GoFundMe campaign is about.
Thanks.

Addendum
10. Of the three, the easiest one to forgive was the iPad thief. He never claimed to be my friend or to be civilized. Did I mention that the other two claimed to be Christians?
