I have heard people say "why is there a BET channel? Why a Negro college fund?
I say why not? Its not hurting me or your if there is a channel geared towards the black viewers or a college set up for black children.
I have really grown up these last few years and really starting to understand a bit about American History and the past that it held. For those that hold onto racism and are looking for it, I hope you can see that it can be taking way out of context if you allow it to. Also understand, the Reverend is one of the few black americans left that felt the racism that did exist. The new generations coming up will no nothing of any of that because we as a society are not allowing it to continue. I didn't even vote for Obama But I do think he will help us these next 4 yrs and he certainly didn't make race an issue in his speach...but he is also too young to have encountered it too.

But saying those words did hurt!
