The comments you have submitted are welcomed but the software is dropping comments. We will migrate to a different and hopefully better software package this weekend.

I posted it too quickly, without seeing that her name was sometimes misspelled. I&#039;ve fixed it now. Thanks for your close attention. -- Dick Sun, 5 Apr 2009 20:06:54 +0000 http://www.laprogressive.com/2009/04/05/michele-obama-the-true-image-of-an-african-american-woman/#IDComment18212251 http://www.laprogressive.com/2009/03/27/black-male-released-from-prison-and-unemployed-a-recipe-for-social-estrangement/#IDComment17874548 For a couple of years I&#039;ve been jotting down my thoughts on this topic with the hopes that eventually I&#039;d be able to write about it. The &quot;it&quot; I am referring to is the way black young men are treated in this country. You are right to say that black men contend with far more that we want to recognize. I too am the mother of a black man. I learned from my 32 yr old son, just this week, that when he was 8 yrs old he was verbally assaulted by adult white men who told him that niggers don&#039;t belong in their town.

You&#039;ve been added.

This is not a serious piece.

You can pay for it at the front end by investing in research that can provide medical technologies that assist in preventing or curing disease -- or you pay for it by absorbing the exhorbitant costs associated with caring for long term care for those who are rendered incapable of caring for themselves because of diseases we have no cure for.

While there have been major advancements made in race relations in this country, we still have far to go before we can claim to be a nation that values all of its citizens in the same way.
