Trayvon, Obama, Tavis - Tone's View

First off, I had to take a moment of silence from blogging after the Zimmerman verdict.  Disappointment can't even begin to express my feelings for the injustice that has occurred.   I personally feel that Eric Holder now has the power to make a significant change - it's his move.

Last night I had the opportunity to attend a speaking engagement with Tavis Smiley where he addressed his comments directed at President Obama regarding Trayvon Martin and the Zimmerman verdict.

Tavis wanted to clear the air - tell the whole story to let us know where he was coming from when he spoke on Meet the Press.  Tavis said that he wants the President, "to do more" in terms of eliminating racism in this country.  When I personally asked Tavis to explain what more could be done from a presidential standpoint, he replied that Obama should push the issues of racism and poverty to top of his agenda and try to be more proactive rather than reactive.

I should also mention that Tavis expressed an interest in getting a cut from your boy Tone.  I welcome him as a customer not just to address more of his comments but to also help him out with my expert  techniques on blending light and dark spots in the hair.  At least Tavis can look his best while he's out there giving advice to the President.

Of course I offer the same service to all my customers so hit me up for a cut.  I'll be at the shop all day and would love to hear your comments.  Call / Text Tone at 313-778-1479.
