Ok first, this is a message to all the young black males and females in America who struggle when their class mates say that they are talking white because they choose to speak proper English.
This fallacy has gone too far, in fact there is nothing “white” about being an articulate and intelligent individual. And now [...]

Words can’t express a mother’s pain when her child is lost. Lost to the senseless violence and killings that are frequent amongst young black men today in America. Today I asked myself, why, and if not why how. How can we help, how can I help, is it worth the energy, will people [...]

Blacks were moved out and whites were moved in; we had many town hall and discussions about this topic as concerned students.

Just My Thoughts
As the days turn and the clock spins I wonder what’s the struggle
What’s the plight for black men?
Are we to to fade off, lost in the abyss?
Or rise strong like our ancestors did
Kings or Pharaohs

Ashamed
Never
More like excited
Cause damn are we clever
I walk into [...]

I think she creates an interesting dialogue and I am curious to see what your reaction will be to this [...]
