The fundamental problems is far deeper and it starts with individual responsibility as well as the erosion of black leadership. Until we demand more from ourselves as individuals and collectively, we will continue to have major problems. Until we demand more from black leaders; yes those who choose to represent us when it's beneficial to them to do so, we will continue to have major problems.

Will the death of the B,H and N make a difference, not at all. But what can make a difference is our ACTIONS, not words, not speeches, and not prayer alone. We need to be a people of ACTION.
Good Point bro, i didn't really explain the right way what i was trying to infer, i basically mean that once our brothers and sisters start respecting each other, and eliminating the constant flow of these words to each other, and replacing them with more respectful terms, then we could eliminate the hate amongst ourselves a little in so that we have a start at unity, sure it takes a lot more, but i feel like what this video i posted said is very unique and true, where our brothers and sisters are looking to the rap videos as there source of instruction at how to live and treat others, rather than using our parents who are the foundation of the family!
