Why Are You Concerned About Black America:

I am concerned about Black America because I think we need to end this odyssey of thinking that everything is okay simply because a few of us seem to have made it. There are masses of Black Americans still struggling socially, spiritually and financially. As long as we continue to barely cross the finish line, somehow not noticing that we've left a large population behind, we will always suffer from the stereotypical � and sometimes factual - images, which abound. Then we see specials like "Black in America" which remind us of the realities we thought we could ignore or disassociate ourselves from. I would like to expand the dialogue and explore the tough questions concerning matters of religion, economics, and social values. For example, we account for over HALF of the AIDS cases in America. It remains the #1 killer of black women. So why are we still having unprotected sex? Why do we place a higher emphasis on what's in between our legs than what's in our heads? I'd like to somehow advance the notion that until we turn the camera on ourselves, we will continue to be the sum of our weaknesses. Always striving, but never coming into the full realization of us.
