Give our children the opportunities they deserve
Gangs have plagued Black communities across the country for decades. Finally, we have a chance to change our country's approach to this problem by offering young people real alternatives to gangs--instead of just locking them up and throwing them into a system that often turns them into hardened criminals.
The Youth PROMISE Act, introduced by Rep. Bobby Scott, is a bold attempt at change--and it needs all the support it can get to become a reality. Please take a moment to add your voice, and ask your friends and family to do the same.

David,
You said this, "Finally, we have a chance to change our country's approach to this problem by offering young people real alternatives to gangs--"
Where did you get the notion that this is our (Black Americans" country when there is no signature of any slaves on the document of the Declaration of Independence?
These of the stupid things that ignorant Black Americans say that bugs me out!
Is this why your stupid ass don't want to be sovereign is because you think White America is your country?
God has inspired me to know that black America's only permanent solution is that we desire to become a sovereign people on a portion of this continent that we could call our very own country with borders to worship God, pursue life, liberty, happiness and prosperity in our own way.
If Black Americans were sovereign people we would not have the problems that you are concerned about, knucklehead.
Tell me what you think.
