How Did You Find Out About This Site:

CNN, Blackvoices.com, Blacknews.com

Did You See The CNN Special Entitled "Black In America":

Why Are You Concerned About Black America:

I am not only concern about the black race, but all races. Not only one race is struggling in America. Why should only one race be able to have a program on to show what they are dealing with. I found it disgusting, humilating and a lack of tolerence for all races to just show one race. CNN should deal with all race. We all are struggling in our own way to make it in America. We all discriminate against all race. We all judge people, when we don't realize it. We all have a history. But, that is what it is. A history. We take the history with a grain of salt, and put it away. But, we don't forget. Our history makes us who we are today. A stronger, independent, well rounded human being. Do we still need to dwell on our history? No. We can't change the past. We can only hope for a better future. Not everyone is the same, but if we all come as one. We can change how the world is today. To have organizations, colleges, anthems, etc for your own race, seems wrong to me. If my race had our own organization, colleges, anthems and such, we would have NAACP, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton after us in a heartbeat. Bascially we would be called Racist. I believe that everyone is racist. You might not think you are, but you are. I have so much more to write, but I don't have a lot of time. I am a happily married 23 yr old women. I have a 13 month old son, name PJ. I am an open book and would be happy to share my story because everyone has a story. But no one takes the time to listen.

	Hi Jessica, Welcome!!! I am the first to admit that every soul under the sun has discrimation in them, more or less! Fact is that this is God's world and we need to set aside the differences to work on the bigger goals in life, and that is harmony, peace, and a good life for everyone in the world! However, we are far from there, yet!!! I come from a country were different races live with each other, share each other cultural background and eventually marry each other. Believe me, racism is in all of us: my family exists because of different cultural aspects: African, Amer-Indian, Indian, Chinese, French, and some others I don't know about. Do I sometimes talk about my Hindi family? Yes I do! And I noticed that negative comments are most of the time, because there is some kind of jealousy ruling the whole issue, so dear Jessica, it is everywhere, even among close family and siblings!!! It is what it is, and we need to make a difference now and in the future. We do not need to shed more blood, waste more tears, and more energy on negative situations. I take as example a garden! It would not be a breathe-taking view if all flowers were the same and their was no variety in all the flowers and all the trees. It would be boring! The same is true for human beings and animals. We would not enjoy safaris and diversity of our existence if we all would look alike!!! I thank God sincerely for diversity!!! Tagged by Astrid Symor - Beighle on 08/17/2008

	/*Thanks for the visit and comment, Jessica! Please stay in touch. Your passion is just, each struggle in this country is a different one. Albiet, the Black One is the most cruel and unjust! "It's not the things you know, it's the things you know that just aint so!" Thnks again.

	Hi Jessica Please don't assume that just because you are white and have raised some eyebrows that you are worthy of abandonment. That is quite the contrary. We as a people, I believe, have come to a realization that being negative from the start has gotten us nowhere and that is why we have this forum to open up our hearts and minds. We have all raised eyebrows, questions, and controversies, hence we are Black America. We are a controversial people in many ways. Hopefully, this sight will bring all of us together including you to a healthy understanding, love and peace. If you feel left out it will only be because you put yourself in that position to be left out. Welcome. Tagged by L Kay on 08/05/2008

	I do not know if I did something wrong, but i could not bring the photo up when I pressed for the site you sent to me. Tagged by ROBINSON IRMA on 08/01/2008

	Jessica, I couldn't agree with you more. Tagged by Kevin Cook on 07/31/2008

	Jessica I to am a Georgia native and i've experienced a lot of racial controversy. I don't feel that this website was made for strictly black people nor are HBCU's. The misconception is that only black people can go to HBCU's but the point is history from a black perspective. Welcome to the community and realize that you're gonna have skeptics of you but your opinion is welcomed. We learn from each other no one person has the solution. We are all America Tagged by Antre Drummer on 07/31/2008

	That is very true. But I feel like at the same time, you are looking for some kind of ..validation amongst us. I feel as though you are simply trying to prove a point, and thats ok. You may not be.. that is just my opinion! Tagged by Chamieka House on 07/31/2008

	You know, Im not sure? But I hope your getting my drift? You shouldnt be so suprised that your not being counted in. Tagged by Chamieka House on 07/31/2008

	I have an honest observation about your contribution, besides being a mother you are genuine, I LOVE YOU ! PJ must be proud of you. Tagged by DENIS NYAMWEYA on 07/31/2008

	Thanks for joining this community. I think that many of us also believe that the CNN series misrepresented how complex race is in the US. In order for there to be any real progress, we need to have honest talk, and not just amongst Black people. Please do join in and share your thoughts. Tagged by Jon C. on 07/30/2008

	I love your profile and would like to be your friend so we can chat more. Tagged by ROBINSON IRMA on 07/30/2008

	Obviously a lot of us are still segregated, especially in the south. Blacks want equality which has not yet been granted and that is why there are colleges and black organizations and even this website, etc. I agree that we holler racism and as well hold ourselves back but if all of our black colleges, organizations, and movie stars can come together as a democracy we may have a better representation of the Black Society. A strategy that can help bring more equality to everyone, including those in the ghettos. Tagged by Harold Causey on 07/30/2008

	I appreciate you comment, but I don't really understand your point. Can you please say it in another way. Tagged by Harold Causey on 07/30/2008
