..they are facing a generation of blacks who are unencumbered with segregation. In addition, they were grown financially comfortable.

Miss WHY, mi cyan believe it ! Look fram when mi a seh the same God ting inna disya forum an oonu a kill mi fi seh it ! That is why I am always ringing the bell whenever I see Sharpton, Jesse and the ress bawlin an bawlin about what white man do wi, cause the bottom line is, without perpetrating that mindset, they wouldnt have a job !!!! This young lady is one fabulous example of a Black woman who refused to succumb to that woe is me, an the look what white man do mi and there you have the results. Its all about attitude and outlook on life I say. Not to say that white man still naw gi gense wi, but you can decide that that will define your life or not. This woman clearly made the latter decision. Now the fact of the matter is that she is one a wi, which brings me to another point that I have always made about Jamaican succes stories for which I was roundly roasted by Maas Ackee looong time ago when I pointed to the wide gap in achievement between us and the local AA population in South Florida. It's a mental thing peeps an both the white man and the so called Black leaders a play wid AA head.

one of the problems that continues to be troubling is the absence of black men.

Ahem !!!! Wi deya but oonu a look someting else.
