Why Are You Concerned About Black America:

I am an educator and i am concerned that the majority of our youth today don't care about geeting ahead anyway but through what they see on TV. The images of our women are shameful. The image of our young brothers is one of a street hustler, gang banger or drug dealer. We are allowing today's media to tell us who we are and what we should be about! I'm concerned about where we are heading. We seem to be losing ground. People from other countries and cultures come to this country and seem to just move us aside. They get the better jobs, live in the better neighborhoods etc..., they profit while we seem to be loosing all the gains of the Civil Rights Movement. Our young people today don't seem to care about the struggle.
