Why are African Americans speaking out? What is Black in America? Why are African Americans enraged?

Is racism only a term of the past? Why are there Black America Pageants? If  there were White America Pageants would it be racist?  Will this forum unveil the truth or further divide the races?

Although, Caucasian Americans ponder , they would never openly voice an opinion pertaining to Black America? Why are  there so many National Black Organizations, what is there significance and function?

ACORN, BIG, CBCF,DIEEOC, NAACP,IHRAAM are abbreviations for what? Needless to say, most Caucasians are not aware of these African American Organizations. These organizations are designed to be advocates for African Americans, as well as Rev. Al Sharpton.

To be Black in America is chaotic! It is no myth that racism is apparent today.  These organizatons are still in existence because the occurence of racial injustice and inequality, especially  against blacks.

The Declaration of Independence states "All men are created equal!'  If that held some truth there would be no reason for this discussion. I am Black in America and I am a victim.

Yes, racism exists in all races, but Black Americans have been oppressed throughout history.  There have been a number of apologies, but there has been less accountability.

Who is accountable for the injustice that African Americans endure? That question has yet to be answered.  African Americans are not searching for sympathy, but equality.

Whenever filling out an application of any sort, you are asked your race, but why? If we are all equal, race should be unimportant. Who mandates the criteria for application stardards?

Some individuals claim the the rationale for the asking race on applications are for statistical  accountability.  If we were equal, statistics would necessary.

Barack Obama, President of The United States of America, is under scrutiny. Despite education and qualification, he is still African American, that is his crime!  It is evident , that we still live in an era where character is irrelevant  and skin pigmentation defines your individuality.

Black in America is damnation! In recent events, it is no suprise why Michael Jackson skin became lighter throughout the years. Cunningly, he realized that he possessed the ability to be a "king,"  but also knew that acceptance would be nearly impossible.

In years to come, right before our eyes, Michael Jackson transformed! Progressively, the lighter his skin, the more atttention he attained. Equality is a state of being equal, it should not have to be earned nor should it be unobtainalbe for Blacks in America.

There are consequences for being Black in America, racial profiling and injustice are just a few effects. Black in America will never be equal as long as we are divided.

Lastly, a question for you! Are all denominations equal? Some denominations may have different races that attend, but are not are equal, correct? We have some African Americans in a "high office," but does that make them equal? White and Blacks live together in the United States, are we equal?

Abolish racial inequality!
