The War in the homefront.

I don't know if anybody has bothered to read my first post. I should delete it and rewrite it, but for now I'll leave it. The War on Terrorism is really part of a paper I printed up, and handed out to people on the street near this hotel. In that paper, I has making light our our national policies and the War on Iraq. I was suggesting that we need to do alot of work here at home in America., indeed within our own hearts and minds if you want to deal with the spectre of Terrorism. I'm fighting a war on terrorism in this Hotel.
Part of my probelm living in this hotel is that I'm being bothered by a "troll" ( an older male sexual predator). Mostly I'm being subjected to a type of verbal harrassment, when I'm in my room. I can hear the guy upstairs talking and its probably him. I don't think I'm hallucinating i think I'm of sane mind and body. This had been going on for a couple of years.
I'm African-American, he's White. I didn't move in this hotel cause I wanted a love relationship with an older man, sure I'm open to friendship , but I'm not open to exploitation. I've been mosty offended by this guy. Plus he seems to have fixated on me! There are many people in this Hotel, and many might take what he would have to offer, but instead he stays in his room mostly 24 hr a day. Worse I think he says awake in the Evenings when I'm sleep, but he sleeps in the day if at all, when I'm away. He stays to himself in his room 24 hours a day mostly coming out sometimes to take a walk to buy some goods.
When I get home from work I hear stuff like. "I need a Ho", "Why aren't you Ho-ing", "Why won't he date me", "He needs to be culled", "I'd like to shoot him" " I wanta cock him" etc, etc, etc. I live in room 611 of this Hotel , he lives upstairs from me in room 711. This is a probelm not only because of what I mentioned before, but he can control alot of what I can do, He used to bang on the floors in the morning, disturbing my sleep, I can't play my stereo loud, cause he'll complain to management, or the police. (When in a previous address in this Hotel I never had that probelm).
I 've complained to all sort of people associated with Oakland Community Housing Management , The Oakland Housing Authority, and the local management of the Oaks Hotel. They've done nothing. and once due to ignorance and bad judgement on my part ,this guy got me thrown in jail , I never been in jail before and I was about 39 years old....more about this later.

I suggest you get Pell Grants, go to school, get a good job, and live happily ever after.
The most marketable human commodity in this country today is an intelligent, educated black female. Next is an intelligent, educated minority male. Get with it! Get off the professional victim train and jump on the free education plan which will give you a future.
Yeah, I'm white, educated and have a great job. But I grew up with eight brothers and sisters as poor as any black in America. And white boys don't get no handouts for education; we have to work for it. By the way, don't use your age as an excuse; I started college at 45. Go for it man!

Thanks for your comment. You are right on the face of it , if your an eligible black male in this country it is possible to find work at this time. I been employed for the last couple of years. However my current situation is adversly affecting my employment..and will probably affect my schooling (in the local area), if I go to college here...it already has. I'm facing just leaving here one way or another..with less than 12 months till I'm eligible for retirement benefits for my job.
Thanks for your insights..its always encouraging to hear from people on this blogging stuff. Feel free to comment anytime, or leave your blog spot.
