Don't Give Up on Black America Yet!
Social Experiment Asks "What Would You Do To Change Black America?"
Washington, DC (http://www.BlackNews.com) - Finding the solutions to the issues of African Americans or should we say "Black America" has somewhat been viewed as a lost cause. However, a single parent from Alexandria, Virginia seems to disagree. Shelly Bell, African American Author (All Women are Stupid Sometimes) and elementary school teacher introduces "The LMPG Experiment."
"LMPG" stands for "Let My People Go" and is an attempt to free the minds of Black America by simply asking the question "What would you do to change Black America?" This question has never been so bluntly asked to African Americans of various socioeconomic classes. "The purpose is to get the media and the black community to get their focus off of the problems and generate some solutions," Shelly comments.
Everyone has their own excuses for not doing more in the Black Community such as finances, time, opportunity, etc. The LMPG Experiment puts an end to those excuses by challenging African Americans to ponder upon solutions to our issues. The question will be posed to families from the wealthiest communities to middle class families and low income developments. Will the pool of responses spark Black America as a whole to begin to work together? Send in your response and see!

I think each individual need to look at their own situation and push real hard to make a difference. Some may think I'm heartless but, most of the people who have the resources in their communities act very ungrateful...
ReplyDeleteThe thing that gets me the most is how some blacks act like they are owed something, so, when they don't get it the resentment and rage is written all over their faces, their words...
What I would do to change Black America, first get all the drugs, guns and gangs off the street and the lives of our children. Second, get us back to church, prayer and having faith in God's love. Third, stengthen the minds of our men and women, we are stonger as one than when we are separated, our families are not whole. The focus needs to go back to family...
Forth, teach our people to take care of the gifts we are given. If you are able to a 3 bedroom apartment while paying $16.20 a month (section 8) don't trash just because it belongs to the state, treat it respect and be grateful.
And most importantly, we need better TV programs for our children to watch, "I love NY" is not acceptable.
