A Nation That Does Not Stand For

We Have The Capacity To Make Sure That Every Mother Has Pre-natal Care. Yet, We Don't Do It. What Is It About America? It Says We Don't Value Children And Families. We Are Hypocrites.

We Do Not Have A Money Problem In America. We Have A Values And Priorities Problem.

The Outside World Told Black Kids When I Was Growing Up That We Weren't Worth Anything. But Our Parents Said It Wasn't So, And Our Churches And Our Schoolteachers Said It Wasn't So. They Believed In Us, And We, Therefore, Believed In Ourselves.

The Core Of The Culture Is Racism And How Black Men Are Viewed. They've Always Been Demonized And Seen As Threats In Our Culture. Another Holdover From Slavery. We've Got To Deal With That Core Root Of Racism And Demonization Of The Upbringing Of Black Men. Black Women Are Not Exempt By Any Means.

It Is A Spiritually Impoverished Nation That Permits Infants And Children To Be The Poorest Americans.
