The 2008 State Of Black America On Black Women
I'm gonna have to disagree with my buddy and blogging sister SheCodes on this one. Before you get your hair and nails done on the 1st of the month, you need to go to The Urban League's website and pick-up both the 2007 and 2008 State of Black America reports. Black folks always need to be informed! These reports are compiled from the Urban League's think tank comprised of black folk. We need to support, read, and critique their work! Purchasing these reports also supports The Urban League, so if your lazy butt has not given any donation to a black organization in a hot minute, here is your chance. For cheap asses, at least read the free abstracts!
Black folks need to stop complaining about observed, watched, critiqued, and reviewed, WE ARE A VERY FASCINATING TRAIN WRECK STILL RUMBLING DOWN THE TRACKS! Yes, we need a game plan and we need to take action on it, but too many of us know absolutely nothing! I don't want to battle with ill-informed warriors. If you didn't like the MSNBC profile on black women and the soon to be another slanted profile on black men and women on CNN in June, then take the time to find out if our own people did any better by reading The Urban League report! In fact, buy all the reports for the last five years and read them!
