I go to one of the top high schools in the country and in the past 3 years I've been there I have only talked about slavery for a total of 5 mins, and have never talked about the great contributions made by sons & daughters of slaves. This is barely mentioned in the history books I looked at. By this point most young black men have dropped out. I believe that if you don’t know you past your doomed to repeat it, and that there should be more mention of African Americans in history books.
I am also from the home of the Original Black Wall Street, and the riot that destroyed it. People act as though this didn't happen and that no ones family suffered from the cause of this. Why?

Our culture, and people are decaying without strong males in the family, church, and every other institution of the Black community.
I'm glad you're understanding what I've been trying to do now. We can't talk about Waves all the time without talking about the African American Culture because 360 Waves are of the African American Culture.

Iss cause black people iz from da hood and we gangsta wit ours,
and they think cause we where our sagging jeans and our white tees or we sit on corners at night that were drug dealers. Most people
arrested they days are blacks, and sometimes iss jus cause its how we present ourselves. An example is when they try to judge A.I for those who dont know Allen iverson they think hes some type thug or gangsta cause he like to rock his braids and he wanna dress the way he want when he hurt, he dont wanna wear suits and sh*t he wanna wear a tee and some jeans, thas jus how he wanna be that dosent make him a gangsta. Another example is for those who watch NBA basketball is when they changed the rules talkin bout u have to atleast goto 1 year of collage b4 going to the NBA, wana know why they did this? Because 75% of NBA players were indeed blacks getting drafted out of highschool. So they thought they could set us back by making this b/s rule. And Jermaine Oneal of the indiana pacers, spoke his mind on sportscenter about this and he said this is a bunch of b/s, cause he knows what theyre trying to do, they ""try'n to stop a black mans hustle"". I said that to one of my teachers b4 and i got in trouble , lol btw he was italian!
