I am not in any way saying that the terrorist attacks were a black/white issue. But, what happened last tuesday is what got me thinking about this topic. Most blacks in this country call themselves African-Americans and I wanted to know just how many felt that they were truly Americans.

StraightBOS:

I stated that I would not die fighting for this country. But, I also would not die for a lot of things. At this point, I can only say that I would die for my Lord and my loved ones.

I also know how many people fought for my right to say that. Some of them were my family members, who fought and died for this country. What did this country do for them? They returned home from WWII, Vietnam, and Korea and there was hardly a show of gratitude. No one cared about what they had done for this country.

So many are talking about their loyalty to this country. Where is this country's loyalty to me and my family? How many times have we seen crimes against blacks go intentionally unsolved and unpunished? And, how many times have we seen the same crimes committed against the majority and justice isn't swift enough?
