Is Pittsburgh America's Most Livable City? Pt 4

In Part 4 of our series we explore solutions to Pittsburgh's economic disparity. Jasiri X interviews Charles X. Cook, who after being incarcerated for 17 years moved into a housing project in Pittsburgh's Northside neighborhood called the Commons. In only a few years Charles not only owns a home, but his own business, a gym in Pittsburgh's Strip district called One on One Personal Fitness. How did he do it?

On May 31 2011 at 7:00pm at the Carnegie Library of Homewood, One Hood Media Presents the world premiere of Jasiri X's new video "America's Most Livable City" followed by a forum on solutions to Pittsburgh's economic disparity.

So this guy is saying that blacks in PGH are 'spoiled' and can succeed even though they come from the ghetto. I thought 'the man' wouldn't allow that in PGH?

That's whats up, a brotha who utilized his negative situation and used it to a positive advantage within society. A true hustler. It's like they say... a drug dealer in the hood and a fortune 500 broker are essentially the same personality and outlook on life... except in 2 completely different worlds.
