Ask most people in the Hood who their Representatives are both in the Federal and state congress. Most of the young people and some of the older people will tell you no; but ask them who is on Love and Hip Hop, Housewives of Atlanta, or Keeping up with the Kardashians they can tell you who, what, when, and where. We have to stop worrying about giving these wealthy people our time especially since they can't do a damn thing to help us. However, your state and US Representative; a person who represents your interests in Congress are ignored in our Community. When there issue that we care about you need to call your Rep and tell him to vote Yes or No on that issue. You need to do this because people who disagree with you will. You can't claim racism if you didn't do something so easy to tell your Rep how to feel.
We spend so much time watching rich black women fight each other and having sex with married men; or we watch the Kardashions fight and sleep around. This is devastating to our Community. We have enough problems without watching this immoral nonesense. Our young ladies are beginning to think that sleeping around will get you rich. It doesn't it makes you a mother or gives you an STD. You could decide to terminate your pregnancy if you can afford it but with the high homicide rates we need every baby who can make it or we will be wiped out as a people.
We need to work together and bring back both Political Power and Morality back into our Communities. Teach our girls that they need to stop the fighting and sleeping around. We need to get back to God. Yes and we have to start getting married.
We complain about the lack of Political Power in our Community, but it will remain that way until we vote in every election and to communicate with your Representative, Senator, Governor or President. This is why we have to become involved. I always tell the young people that we must vote like Barack Obama is on the ballot every time.
