ON A SERIOUS NOTE: AIDS MAN aka TRASH MAN

A friend of mine sent me this Friday night but I felt it would've been overlooked if I put it up Friday night.  So here it is in prime time.  I see where he's going with it or the message he wants to spread but his angle of doing so is twisted.  It's very much a problem in our minority/urban communities but adding to the problem is really not the way to solve it.  The fact that there are people out there like this or see this as the way to teach a lesson is scary and I hope you all take a look and keep this in mind when you're out having those wild nights at the nightclubs and others.
