black women need to stop having so many babies out of wedlock by these irresponsible black men. Just like Chris Rock says' put the thing down' Close your damn legs.

How many books are we going to publish that people won't even read? We know what’s going on but the real problem is that there are a lot of cowards among us who are afraid to actually do anything about the present situation. We need to become active participants in changing our own destiny's. We need to stop all of this talk about what needs to be done and be about it by taking action!

Mattie, you took the words out of my mouth. WE as a people, need to do better. We need to raise our children to be respectful not only to others but to themselves. We have to save our children because they are our future and what I see sometimes with out young people, it does not look too promising. But our churches need to get back into helping people out like they use to, instead becoming so much of a business that they cannot do that.

I just think we all need to do better for ourselves and our children. We need to make better choices in our lives, at some point we need to realize doing the same things that we have done for years is not working (i.e living above our means, not staying in school, and not being a family unit with responsibilities, etc.)
