Thank you Mr. President...


Have you all heard about President Obama at the NAACP convention telling us black folks that it is time for us to stop making excuses, motivate our children and stop allowing the streets, rap music and the media to raise our children!....Whenever I want to talk about issues within the black community that bother me, I often feel that I can't talk to anybody but my mom. Most of the people my age don't seem to understand, or they do the exact things that hold our community back! I don't want to seem like a prude or seem like the angry black women, but we have to keep it 100 and call it how we see it. obviously there is not enough time in the world for me to discuss everything that I have noticed in this society that heavily impact the African American community but I am happy that President Obama addressed us specifically and is pointing us in the right direction. We know that it won't change over night but hey we have to start somewhere!
