Crime this year is still on the rise in the black community, senseless conversations among African Americans have not ceased, black men and women are yet divided and yet try to compete with each other, old claims of mixed bloodlines and skin shades are still the first discussions before more important subjects like unity, business, morals and values are even mentioned in a group of black people.  Many African Americans resent each other while AIDS is still the highest epidemic within the black community.  In the 21st century, as black people continue to die at large from various diseases and tragedies, the causes that our late civil rights leaders (like Dr. Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks and W. E. B. Dubois) seems to just be a memory while Al Sharpton is yet fighting racial discrimination for the black community, alone. President Barack Obama’s message of “Change” does even seem to be of any importance, because there is yet a lot of old habits that have not been broken.  There is still a lack of concern for each other within the black community and being black is still a big denial among black people.
