Merc was born a poor black child and grew on the rough and hard streets of the inner city. Raised in the projects and always battling between his studies, thug life and the love of a mother.
Never claimed anything of the sort, inner city, yes; in the "projects" no, never battled anything of significance, and had both parents as well as my grandmother's love during the formative years.
DG - I appreciate your day is fulfilled living vicariously though others and representing other persona's in your icon; but are you now compiling a biography on me!? Wow - I'm truly flattered!
Here's some more notes for your compilation.
quote:
Would like to know how one reaches "a high level in the banking industry." Without a degree? Me smells shit. Stipulating to your one source of expertise once again; you do know your shit!
Oh, it wasn't easy without a degree, but it could be done. Not in their league, or even able to walk on their field, but I don't mind being associated with other "non-degreed" people such as Bill Gates, Paul Allen, Larry Ellison, Michael Dell, Sheldon Adelson, Steve Jobs, Mary Kay Ash, Richard Branson, Coco Chanel, (more to your speed)- Simon Cowell, and Barry Diller. (How many do you have to look up?) Then again - there's you, a college grad(?) to hold up and represent the other side of the equation.
However, truth be know - I did go to college for 3 years, one while in HS. Personally I blame that experience for not achieving as much as the others mentioned.
Banking - I was a Divisional VP for no longer existing, absorbed by BoA, Security Pacific Bank - one of thousands I'd say - but now only a mild mannered part owner in the process of liquidating under contract to another company in the banking industry.
However it was the result of something you haven't indicated you know anything about - work, and self sufficiency.
Please send me your first draft when completed.

The fact is you as well as I happen to be for all purposes white(unless the state of Miss.still has that silly one drop law on the books....lol)and claiming otherwise do to a relative in the bloodline is just a little cheeky. Because it suits your purposes to make me white? Exactly why I refused, from the first application I saw it on, to answer a question concerning race. I could deal with, and have, with direct bigotry and prejudice, and never wanted to have to consider the implied bigotry and racism assigned to anyone not good enough to succeed on their own needing "affirmative action" as a crutch. From the inside, and on both sides, I've seen the exploitation first hand.
Positions such as yours, bigoted and prejudicial in my opinion, insure that race will always be polarizing issue in the US.
However, I'll be sure to quote you next time the situation comes up. I'll tell them I had my grandparent's blood transfused out of me and I'm glad they pulled me over so I can go back to the clinic for another treatment. My good friend Mike says "for all purposes" I am white damn it! Pass the mayonnaise and Wonderbread!

. Hint: "unconstitutional or not, the police have the law on their side". You can't make that shit up, you really can't. 
I do it every time I'm on duty, as does every other LEO I know.
