Black Americans...Who and What We Really Are

I find it hard most of the time to look at Black entertainment and not see it as anything more than
Black exploitation. Usually when we discuss the neglectful justice system and police brutality on Black citizens; someone asks, "What about Black on Black Crime?" I don't think that the counter argument should be Black on Black crime...nope that would be too easy!  The challenge that I am going to present to you today is not one of blame but one that will require critical thinking and personal responsibility.

In a country with rapidly improving race relations, we must look back at our pasts and analyze the components of the progress that was made and what challenges were before us and what challenges are still there.

Which brings me to the next question...who or what is this Black community that is talked about especially during election season. See, the white vote gets it's categories. Whites over 40, college educated Whites, White Women under 40 etc. When it comes to the Black vote we are all categorized under one canopy.
