I hope this thread can stay away from the stereotypical and stupid.

ok seriously... Every African-American should be able to trace their lineage as far back as they can. (you may learn more than you knew before)

embrace a healthy lifestyle... watch what you eat, or if you eat what you want anyway get set to do an extra 20 on the treadmill.

Take care of one another. We are our own worst enemy.

should find a way to support black-owned businesses. If we don't support our entrepreneurial spirit, then who will?

I was thinking more along the lines of black people who think we should (insert stereotype).
Another one....
All black people should know that we don't have to conform to a certain way of doing things.

Every African American should learn to speak english fluently, and at least one other language.

..should teach our children that disrespecting women of all races (videos, MTV BET, derogatory comments, etc..) is NOT acceptable. Period.
..should teach our children that we are more than just basketball players, football players, rappers/entertainers. We ARE MOTHERS, FATHERS, teachers, lawyers, CEO's, religious leaders, accountants, artists, political leaders, brothers, sisters and friends.

...Should teach their children fiscal responsibility. Teach them the value of owning their own home and investing and saving for those rainy days.
If parents don't know how to be financially responsible, as a family take a class or make an effort to learn more about finances.

I agree with this statement completely. I have attended predominately White schools my entire life. Not necessarily because of my parents choice but just because of zoning. I definitely feel isolated at times. It is hard for students like myself to fit in, in social situations with African-American or White people. As much as it pains me to say it, I find it hard to identify with some of my African-American peers. On the other side of that stone, they don't want to deal with me because I act too White or I speak too proper or some such statement. Yes I have African-American friends but sometimes there is a barrier. Being identified as "gifted" doesn't aid either because in most of my classes I tend to be either the only African-American person or 1 out of 4 or so.

Yes! Africa is a beautiful continent! There is more to it than what people see on the "Feed the Children" commercials. Unfortunately I know a lot of people who don't realize that.
Every African-American should: Travel outside of the US at least twice.
