Q&A With LATANZA JOHNSON

How did you come across Black in America and did you choose this site over myspace, facebook, etc?
"I was interested and anticipating CNN's special and I logged on to find the time of showing and found this site. This site attracted me as far as the content and the fact that it was a networking site. I also have a facebook and some other online accounts though. The types of accounts I have are for specific purposes and some people will enjoy some sites more than others. I just cornered all markets! I hope this answer is full enough to compliment the question. Latanza" Interviewed by Shay Moore 06/05/10

My BlackInAmerica.com Profile

Why Are You Concerned About Black America:

I am concerned that Black america has an endowment/entitlement attitude. I am also concerned that children and violence is going to be our strong holds in America. It concerns me that our children are not graduating and that our teachers are still striking and asking for more pay. It concerns me that black america holds nothing to the culture ,which dominates in main stream america in which they can generate revenue, i.e, the Italians have Pasta, the Greeks have gyro, Black Americans have entertainment which is largely run by mainstream America but could have been a stronghold for capital gain. In the Black community, I am concerned that every other race is preferred but the Black race. As well as I am concerned, I am without words to describe the decay of morals that the Black woman displays and promotes. I have pitty for the Black community that they could not release the episodes of hate from outside of the home and they took them home. I am concerned about the police and there majic pen writing 30-life for little black children. I am more concerned when the Black pollice are the offenders repeatedly in the Black Community. I am concerned that the generation is willingly lending itself to slavery (prison) and poverty. I am concerned with Domestic Violence, Retarded Single Mothers, No societal rules, African Americans not taking responsibility as citizens and exhibiting Patriotism.

How Did You Find Out About This Site:

I am involved in a number of empowerment and job sites.

What Would You Like To See On This Site:
