On the playground, at the store, walking on the streets. They creep us out, and make us sick to our stomachs. I'm talking, of course, about Ginger kids. Ginger kids are born with a disease which causes very light skin, red hair, and freckles. This disease is called 'gingervitis.' Kids who have gingervitis cannot be cured. Because their skin is do light, ginger kids must avoid the sun, not unlike... Vampires. Some people have red hair, but not light skin and freckles. These people are called 'daywalkers.' Like vampires, the ginger gene is a curse, and unless we work to rid the earth of that curse, the gingers could envelop our lives in blackness for all time. It is time that we all admit to ourselves that gingers are vile and disgusting. In conclusion, I will leave you with this: if you think that the ginger problem is not a serious one, think again... Ginger kids have no souls.

I'm not sure if I'm spelling that right, although I should know on account of I have his CD. Somewhere. A couple of months before I took this photograph, I stopped by the Starbucks on Woodward and Mack. As I approached the counter to order a small coffee (I always ask for a "small", not a "tall" because I refuse to use Starbuck's cup size cult nomenclature) the young man pictured above called out from the de facto CD market he tended on a tabletop directly across from store's cash register. "Yo. You support Detroit hip hop?" Sigh. Of all the things I hate in life, there probably aren't many things I hate more than being asked questions by strangers. No, I don't have 37 cents for the bus. Yes, I am paying cash for these groceries*, and no, I don't want to buy your gat damn rap album. Not usually, at least. I told my man that I don't usually buy CDs from strangers, but I was willing to make an exception because he was lightskinned and us lightskinned coloreds would never rise again if we didn't stick together. Word to Christopher Williams, son. Since this encounter was pre-The People of Detroit, it didn't occur to me at the time to take his photograph. However, since starting the project, Troubel has been on my mind as a potential addition to the project. So when I stopped by Starbucks on May 15th, I told him about the project and asked if I could make his portrait - being that I supported Detroit hip hop and all. He didn't remember me until I reminded him that I purchased his CD because he was light skinned like me. Which proves my belief that the best way to leave an impression on people is by saying stupid shit to them. Before making this photo, I took the time to talk to Troubel. He said that he was excited to be doing a short tour of Michigan with a few well-known local rappers. He said he felt the tour was evidence that his tireless hustle was paying off in some small way. He also confided that his tireless hustle was negatively impacting some of his personal relationships. Some of the people in his life wanted him to spend more time with them and less time chasing his dream. If I could talk to his people I would tell them this: When people have a urge to create, they will never be at peace unless they are doing so. Try not to resent their passion. Try to support and admire it. After all, it takes a lot of gumption to ask total strangers to buy your sight-unheard rap CD. Kinda like it takes alotta gumption to ask strangers to take their picture. Ahem. So, if you are ever at the Starbucks on Mack and Woodward, drop some digits for Troubel's CD. Even if you're not light skinned. [View the daily blog and meet more of:The People of Detroit ] *ask a friend from the hood.
