Hello Ms. Robinson,

Although I sympathize with your passion concerning the incarceration rate of Black Americans I would also like to know what do you think a permanent solution is?

If we cannot discuss what a permanent solution is then all we are going to do in the future is whine and complain, am I right.

I believe that our permanent solution is to imagine or desire being a sovereign people in a country of our own right here on this continent or else we will indefinitely continue to whine and complain about the type of lives we live.

Secondly, Ms. Robinson we are not African Americans. For the time being we will accept the name Black Americans.

An African-American is a person of African origin that has become an American citizen.
On the other hand, a Black American is a person born out of plantation slavery when White Americans bred themselves with the African slaves and produced a new race of people which is us, Black Americans.
Black Americans are a new race of people. We are neither Africans nor are we Caucasians.
So, there are significant differences between an African American and a Black American. Am I making any sense?
