NANCY ALLEN ON YOUR COMPUTER

An interesting and fun way to bring some new life into your new neighborhood is getting a new tradition started. My neighborhood and my city is a melting pot of many different cultures. We could put on several separate culture based events with all the different kinds of people or just one that has something for several at once. Why do some people think it’s okay to leave a bad tip? They want to go out and enjoy the service, but they don’t want to tip what they should tip. How do you know what to tip and to whom? Poverty is a denial to basic human needs. It is a sense of powerlessness and helplessness in life. Poverty is measured based on estimated minimum required income/consumption levels. Black people after slavery who attempted to get work, even in the liberal North, would find discrimination against them at almost every turn. Anyone who stepped beyond the special “boundaries” enforced by whites was subject to lynching, or being hung by the neck until dead. Usually done as a cowardly act by “lynch mobs” out in the boondocks, this has happened to black people as late as 1981, when 18-year-old black college student Michael McDonald was murdered by the KKK in Alabama.
