• 40% live in suburban neighborhoods.
• ½ trillion dollars/year generated and circulated.
• Several named as wealthiest individuals in the nation.
• Black households earning over $100,000/yr. increased tenfold since 1960's.
• 39 black members of Congress - 8 times as many as 1964.
• More than ½ of 50 states, including Washington D.C., have black mayors.
• Blacks are directors of major corporations, university presidents, astronauts, political leaders and military generals.
Who would have believed an African American (Glenn Plummer) would be Chairman/CEO of the National Religious
Broadcasters and (Colin Powell) US Secretary of State?
• The number of Blacks with high school and college diplomas tripled since 1960's.
I just ask that if you want to tell it, tell the whole, unbiased story.
For some reason, you really seem determined to separate yourself from the pack, which is cool, I guess. However, I'm sure there are many conservative, Republican, African Americans who claim to love the Lord around here. The difference is, they aren't constantly screaming, "Look at me.... please look at me..... I swear I'm different!". I think THAT'S why no one is choosing to engage you in debate.

Sweety if i didn't want anyone to read the article, I wouldn't have posted the link
if anything you proved my point more by posting that part of the fact sheet..because it goes against a lot of the liberal rhetoric that claim african americans are doing oh so bad and its all the fault of the economy....maybe you should look at the facts and don't get so hung up on why and how I say what I say and do what I do...and the comment am i comfortable in my own skin is cute to say the least...
And how did it become MY website?? Why when I post its gotta be Look at me?? You sound a little intimidated by my posture...cause you didn't attack the facts (cause you can't) you chose to attack me personally. Kinda sad... And folks don't want to engage me in debate because they know I convict them! I don't live my life according to a party..I live it according to the plan Jesus left for us...so if there are so many on GC that claim to love the Lord...they will have to deal with Jesus on why they choose to hide their light under a bush instead of letting it SHINE!!
YOu sound like a perfect candidate for my fan club
Now can we get back to the topic in the thread..or is this gonna turn into another LoveSpell_6 fan club moment
Gurl you have no idea how comfortable I am in my beautiful skin! The question is (in my best Winans voice) ...are you?
