Should Black People Be Proud To Be Americans?

from Mental Dialogue

JAMES BALDWIN once stated, "To be a NEGRO in this country and to be relatively conscious is to be in a rage almost all the time." We welcome Colonel USAF (Ret.) ANDRE "6" JOHNSON, and BABA AMIN OJUOK, founder of the Uhuru Academy, to explore whether America has progressed enough for AFRICAN AMERICANS to feel pride in their nation. Our host, Black Socrates, who once held deep disdain for this country, but experienced a change in perspective after reluctantly joining the military. What led to his shift? Does it matter if a BLACK CHILD feels pride in being American? And how can they, when their history is being erased from education? MENTAL DIALOGUE is asking questions America is afraid to ask. ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU THINK
