There is the music we listen to, that believe it or not has migrated from other countries and brought back to America to be heard and shared with the world.…

One of the biggest concerns I see African American Males facing in higher education is lack of questioning. Males in general regardless the demographic tend to have an inner pride that if they do not know something they will not ask for help because it will make them appear as inferior or lesser in comparison to their peers. It is a psychological response to fear of not being accepted that many males across species (many male animal species have shown this trend as well) that they must maintain…

be treated better than any person of any other race (black, latin, asian, arab). I am against police officers being racist and killing innocent people just because of their skin colour, but I do not want the government to treat me, an American citizen, similar to those who do not belong here.
