[AfricanArtFan]

Wow! I' must find out more about this person and what he overcame and sought to do for the African-American community. He seems to really have been a "character".

[msawbe]

I would love it if Petey was around today' to see the dream' also I'm sure he would he would tell alotta these young black males to pull up there pants and show some self respect. All that gangta stuff comes from a jail house mentality' and as Petey would say'

there ain't nothing good that comes out of that.

[delerium2k]

People use drugs cause drugs is good.

That's pretty fair logic.

I can't wait. Petey Greene was awesome.
