• 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.

You beat me to the punch. Some people are willing to fall into the nonsense that Blacks are so uncivilized
Bad enough knuckleheads like Limbaugh, Hannity, and O'Reilly spreads this garbage, you get peopel like Armstrong Williams etc.......doing it too.
Sometimes it's your own people.
