State of Black America
The Best and the Worst
The National Urban League, the country’s oldest community-based organization dedicated to the empowerment of African-Americans, recently issued their The State of Black America 2009 report which shows that, while many people are having troubles surviving our current economy, Blacks are affected at a disproportionate rate. Find out where we fall short and what the Urban League wants President Obama to do about it.

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.)
