An African-American Perspective

A publication for African-Americans
(Knowledge is Power)

Welcome to An African-American Perspective, a newsletter designed for the residents of North Central Pennsylvania. The purpose of this publication is to bring to the table of discussion, the unique perspectives of African-Americans. With a clear unequivable voice within the wider community, Black Americans can freely present their thoughts and feelings regarding contemporary issues. It is our hope to foster greater understanding and respect for all. Click here for past issues.

Offensive language. Let's stop self-degradation.

Do you use the N-Word?

Do you use the “N” word to describe an African-American? Do you call a black woman a ho? Do you know anyone that does use such degrading language? Why do black people demean themselves? How can we turn this strange phenomena around?

Should we burn gangsta rap CD’s that use such disgusting lyrics? Should we boycott recording companies that distribute hateful speech? Should we ban such destructive language?

Or should we provide the counter balance of a positive re-affirming language of self-love and respect. Can we publish a newsletter that showcases the talents of the African-American community? Can we display the other side that is usually overlooked in the traditional news media?

I think the time is right for good people to come together and express their disdain for a society that tacitly condones racism and sexism.

Let’s start a dialogue to end hate speech. Let’s offer an African-American Perspective.
