have read much about the problems that plague the black community but I think now is the time for solutions.I have a few that I would like to post.
10.Parents need to be active in their children's educational growth.Take your child to a museum in the summer and other historical places.Make them read books,newspaper,etc....
9.Take advantage of one of the best resources available the internet.You can find all kinds of tutorials on math,english science,history,etc...
8.Instead of BET watch PBS,CNN,MSNBC,and C-SPAN.
7.Have a zero tolerance for negativity or anything that degrades who we are including music,lifestyles,attitudes,etc...
6.Vote for people who are trying to make a difference instead those who expect them to vote for them out of race loyalty.
5.Invest in things that appreciate(stocks,cd's,mutual funds,etc...) as opposed to things that depreciate ie rims,music cd's,videos,etc...Own land and start a business.
4.Support black businesses whenever possible.Also support all businesses that treat us with dignity and respect.
3.Learn and appreciate who we really are as a people.We have to go back to those principles that brought us through slavery and Jim Crow.Bethune Cookman was started with $1.05 and a lot of faith today we have billions and no clue.
2.Less baby fathers and more husbands.We have to break this cycle if we are to have strong black families.$500 a month is not being a father.Don't just see your child every otherweek see them as much as possible and women need to see men as fathers not paychecks.
1.Renewal in the church.We must go back to those spiritual values which were so important to our parents and grandparents.We need to get away from preachers whose sermons are based on increasing your tithe,name it and claim it and go back to the small churches that do preach the gospel of Jesus Christ.Also support any church making a difference in the community.Men we need to go back and take the children with you.I f we accomplish item #1 all others will fall into place.

Well, AMEN again! It's true, we must focus on God first to achieve the other things.
