STL needs some U-N-I-T-Y

Big shouts out to Harlem B for picking what we wanted to be this week's Throwback Video via Twitter. We told you that the only way to submit videos would be through twitter and although many submitted request, and some great ones at that, Ms Harlem (who also writes for the Whirl) got my vote right away. This Sunday is the May Day Parade and even though the parade has moved downtown folks still like to act a fool. This video serves as a reminder that we need to see some U-N-I-T-Y this weekend, this summer, and forever in St. Louis.

Now since these Music Companies don't like you posting videos they own and have blocked you from using it, which I don't understand cause we might just inspire somebody to go buy the CD and put more money into they pocket. Anyway CLICK HERE to see the orginal video.

It amazes me how many people complain about how STL isn't this or that yet won't take the time to make a difference where it counts. It seems the only time we care is if its time to go to the clubs or if something has gone horribly wrong. The mayoral election had a POOR turnout, which in resulted in Mayor Slay basically being GIVEN the election. Its up to us as young adults to make a difference, because whether the mayor, the powers that be, or whoever else wants to admit it, WE are the biggest source of revenue and prosperity for the city - not the same old people with the same old prejudiced mindsets and their old money. The racial, social, and economical division is blatantly obvious in STL, its all over. We need to reclaim the city-not just with making our presence known when a hot event comes along, but also in leadership, lawmaking, and INFORMING ourselves AND speaking out on the things that happen here in our city. Put your money AND your TIME behind PEOPLE and causes that help you and your community. WE have to live here; WE spend our money via taxes and commerce here which "supposedly" is used to help build up STL; so we BETTER have a say in what goes on here and let this "mayor" know that he cannot continue in his old ways; DEMAND WHAT YOU WANT and DESERVE!

leslie shut the hell up, we dont even know what you are talking about, I live in the county so deal with your own issues, why even come on here and start this mess. move out of the city if you don't like it, that's all you have to do. black people had the city and look what happened to it, the schools failed long before slay got in the office, the streets were bad long before slay got in the office. everyone knows st. louis is racist as hell MO was the last slave state so what do you expect.
