I absolutely love Dr. Asa G. Hilliard. Last year, I read an artcile by him on the problems of the Black community in America. He proposed that we are living against our nature. He argued that many of our cultural values and standards were lost as a result of slavery and because of that, blacks are attempting to live and operate under ideals and standards that are inherently foreign to us, even though that is what we are taught all of our lives. It's like the way the rules that we are following here, in America, go against our natural instincts. It was very interesting and eye-opening to say the least.

I really wish that I could remember the name of that essay.
