Today (06/06/2011) 5 Americans were killed in Iraq, marking one of the deadliest days for our troops in 2 years.
The nation’s unemployment rate is 9.1%, while the unemployment rate for Blacks sits at 19%. Then we have to face the fact that Black-on-Black crime isn’t going to diminish anytime soon.
Our political leaders are debating whether or not to cut funds for Head Start programs, which are vital to our underprivileged youths.
The politicians want to cut funds for the Meals-on-Wheels program, which are vital to our senior citizens.
Our elected officials want to cut funds for Medicare, which are vital to seniors and disabled Americans.
The people we voted into political office want to cut funds for Planned Parenthood, which is the number one program to deter abortion.
I could go on and on about the wrongs our elected officials have perpetrated on their constituents, but the crime of the century is what the media is doing.
Out of all the facts mentioned above, every media outlet number one story is about Congressman Anthony Weiner’s photos on twitter!

What complete fool can’t understand that it’s to our advantage to come together to figure out a way to leave a life for our children better than the life we lived?
Demonizing each other, dam sure aint gonna get the job done; and believe me, there is a job at hand. The question is, who’s ready to go to work?
