Why Are You Concerned About Black America:

Our legacy and future, our children, are being basicly for lack of a better word being programed to fail and we seam to be walking into with both eyes open. i want to talk to people with solutions, tried or untried. street wise or other wiseI really want to see us get this right. we all know that this has to be an on going thing. what did they have on in the fifties and sixties when we did work together ( who ever said we could'nt, was wrong for that.) My consern is that the dialog will stop, and black people will go back to suffering in silence and even though we saw it coming ended up in an incarserated state of slavery.
