With the rise of separation and racial tension in the world it is important for minority communities to unite and tackle all issues. political, cultural, communication, and community issues are all the areas that need to be handled. Politically, minorities need a stronger representation, besides Obamha there are no positive minority reps. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson both have their faults that are attacked and cannot stand up against others criticism. Culturally and community wise, it is important to work together because we are very similar in many ways. We live similarly but the culture is different and that makes us all unique. To unite communication unity would be powerful. With websites such as face book, myspace, google and you tube communication lines have been excelled. Minorities can unite through theses forums to make positive change in all areas of the world. African Americans and Hispanics are the largest populations in America and if they were to unite it would be a indestructible force. Many groups of the world still hold African Americans in a low position and therefore our voice is not recognized furthermore it is ignored. Minorities need to look at the students in colleges today as a resource for change. Students are in school getting an education not only for their field but we are receiving life lessons. Even though minds develop as children it is more important to seek those who are older If you look at it the word community appears to scream COME UNITE and that’s what minorities such as African Americans and Hispanics should do.
Before the relationship between African Americans and Hispanics can strengthen their ties each community has to strengthen themselves. A community can not love and build with another if it can not love and build with themselves. We must build within to make a strong foundation inside the communities separately before adding more into it. There has to be a sense of leadership but not dictatorship. Furthermore, there needs to be more integration within the families. There should be no more “ Black Section” of a city or “ Hispanic Section” because it causes a loss of weaving of cultures. Family strength also ties into the process of strengthen the relationship between the two cultures. After that is done a level of understanding and peace has to be created. There can be no power struggle within a united force. There has to be a sense of leadership but not dictatorship.
HBCU’s can continue to support students by supporting them finically in their education. As a student that has ran into financial issues with college it is necessary to have funds. There should be educational programs set up for students when they begin school. It is necessary for these programs to be in place students are the future more over black students are the future. There is more to it than just providing money, Many students don’t have the emotional support that a family provides. Some systems should be set up to pair alums with freshman in order to let the students know they to can achieve their goals. This is done by setting up a program to demonstrate positivity of black males and females to aspiring revolutionaries.
