Why Are You Concerned About Black America:

There are so many disparities that exist about what it means to be Black in America. Many of the disparities allude to the notion that it is in someway, somehow disparate and melancholy all the time to be Black; I beg to differ that it is barely some of the time (for me that is). I don't wake up sad because I am Black. Other people wake up and have to challenge themselves on how they are going to relate to me because I am Black. I just want to highlight the contributions of Black people so that other people will begin to acknowledge us because acknowledgement is important.
