dear all,

i've noticed on a recent visit to harlem that people are hanging their old sneakers in trees or up on street signs or traffic lights; well, what's up with that?
i've seen a tree that must have had 50 pairs of sneakers on it.

Hello, I saw your message by accident. You happen to have the same name as an old German friend that I met several years ago in New Orleans. Sorry for the intrusion. But if you happen to be that person, please drop me a note. Otherwise, just ignore it. Thanks.

Yo, man it's a symbol, man, like a protest. The shoes represent the lynching of the blacks by KKK and others years ago. It is to remember the evil of those days.

Today blacks who wander off the plantation are virtually lynched by Liberals. Ask Clarence Thomas.
