Review of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania


Crappy City
Star Rating - 7/28/2006
They are putting duplex apartments downtown but they aren't bringing jobs in and the jobs they do bring in they will go to a "Sally or Billy" while "Tamika" and "Leroy" take out the trash.
PiKKKsburgh is in 1930 times. Whites get the best jobs, homes education. Blacks get the leftovers. When I go to another city say New York and I see a white in a suit and tie I know he/she got their on the grind. When I see a white in Pikksburgh I say either someone helped him get in or the Glass Ceiling saved him.
When I am finished with my education I am leaving this glass jar and go where Black faces are in Businesses doing things and not just in the mailroom or taking out the garbage. I know why whites who come from other cities like it here, especially those who come from Atlanta, DC, Chicago and so on. They don't have to compete with blacks here because for some reason we are being held back.....

Even though tis review is 2 yearsold, I felt the need to jump in here. Eric is completely entitled to his view of the world as a black man. But if he thinks that whites get the best jobs, homes, and education in Pittsburgh or anywhere else, he needs to be enlightened. These "1930 times" are returning. As an educated an thoughtful black man, he should try and figure out why.
