McFERRIN SCHEDULED FOR PORT
LAND APPEARANCE
First, I want to thank Lanita Duke for . . . inviting me. It give me an
opportunity to speak my piece, on a subject that's got me ANGRY.
Every city has a tradition. Portland has a tradition . . . and part of that
tradition is, we will n ot tolerate organized gangs!
Why should peole have to sit inside their houses on a hot night, just
because some tough-looking, tough-talking punks tell them to.
I don't care if they're white gangs, Latin gangs, Asian gangs or Black
gangs . . . There's no place for them in Portland . . . except in jail.
The strength of a city is in its neighborhoods. We can t, and won't,
sit back and allow that strength to be attacked.
I'm here to tell you that we're going to fight back . . . starting this
month, on September 23. That's the date of the First Community Anti-
Crime Forum on Street Gangs.
This is not going to be another one of those occasions . . . you know
the type . . . where people sit around telling you about the problem
You already kn o w about the problem. You live with it
This is going to be a how -to meeting . . with people who have some
answers. People who know what they're talking about, and are prepared to
help.
Plan on being there. Because it's a problem that's going to take a com
munity-wide effort to solve. It's going to take the strength of you and all
your neighbors, working together.
The same goes for drugs. You get rid of drugs, and the gangs dis
appear. Drugs are dragging down our young people . . wasting their
potential.
We need to work our courage up, all of us, and shout NO! To drug
abuse . . . NO to drug houses . . NO! To drug dealers, and drug suppliers,
and all the others who are exploiting our young people, and selling them
into this terrible form of slavery.
Then, and only then, will we be albe to shout YES! To clean and safe
neighborhoods.
YES! to job opportunities close to where we live .
and YES! to
everything else that's part of the GOOD LIFE . . the life we hope and pray
to pass along to the next generation. Thank you.
