Hey all,
Your actions describe who you truly are. If you behave in an upper-class manner people around you will assume you are upper class. If you behave like an uneducated city dweller living in poverty, you will be treated as such. Wanna stop being poor? Sop acting like it!
Today, in the alley behind CVS parking lot, a former store called ATN Fashions began handing clothing out to a crowd of poor people. What's the problem with this? Allow me to elaborate.
ATN Fashions was closed recently due to a fire in the store. The building is now condemned and is weeks away from demolition. The building's storage areas were flooded with rain water and several dead animals were found in the building. Now think about this for a moment. Clothes that were stored in a fire damaged building and soaked with rainwater and plagued by mold are being handed out to poor citizens. Are the people of ATN Fashions trying to help residents, or kill them?
Every single person that showed up to this sickening display of poverty was exactly that; poor. Maybe not of money, but of spirit and will. I have seen some of those same people wearing the latest in hip-hop fashions and shoes. They make themselves out to be such big shots. But when something is being handed out free, they turn into ravenous vulchers.
So much for Hamtramck. I say the city has dug its grave and is simply awaiting for more events like this to finally bury it.
