here is my opinion short and sweet. we are all idiots. stop lableing people by the color of there skin, stop holding on to the past , stop having double standards for differnt races we are all one no more no less, stop having shows/tv stations example BET that are based on race, it is not helping the problem it promotes segragation

I really appreciate the effort of O'brian. She at least have our attention. However, pretty much of what she covers is already information majority of us already know. I look foward to a time when she shows the reasons, why are we, black people in the frame of mind we're in. Tell the world WHY.

Look peeps, let's not blame this entirely on the economy. If our generation hadn't wasted opportunity that was there for the taking educationally, our offspring would be in a much better position. Don't tell me otherwise, because I heard it all too often in school...."Why you acting White...trying to be smart" "selling out by passing an Algebra test"...on and on. We have no one to balme but our own sellout selves. DAMM that shyt pisses me off. Maybe we should be more like Whitey....is that such a damm bad thing. At least we could provide for our families.

The thang here is Black people should depend on Soledad O'brien, CNN, or the mainstream media to report on us (Blacks) That falls on the Black media.
