"My values are worth the combination of what is right and what is PC, taking PC as something that others subscribe to get along with the crowd this I am not. I feel being true to yourself and values instilled by my parents are important. I believe that as long as I do not hurt others but stand up to the wrongs of the world is worth fighting for."

Why Are You Concerned About Black America:
In my lifetime, I have always been involved in the political process, being it by marching for our rights or by voting to make a difference. The Dream is about to come to Dr. Kings vision with the nomination of the first Black President. The direction of the young black male and female is paramount to change, we as a people need to turn them around and give a better direction and pride in themselves and their future.
