For African Americans, did anyone see the documentary on ABC about AIDS in black america?


I just have one question. If they were so concern about helping black people, why did they demonize blacks in the documentary? If they were really concerned about helping black people, why didnt they name it AIDS in America, since AIDS/HIV affects everyone period? They said that black people live in a culture of promiscuity, which is present in all cultures, and they brough up the Down Low thing as if it is just exclusive to us, since they have the down low in all cultures, races and nationalities. They offered 5 reasons why HIV is prevalent in the black community, but they never offered solutions to the problem.

Shouldn't that be, "AIDS in African America"?

AIDS is almost 100% preventable, yet, you complain that someone has not told you to quit sharing needles and having unprotected sex. Blacks brag about fathering babies by many different women, yet you want to shift the blame. That's counter productive. Get rid of that Liberal attitude that "its not my fault" , and take responsibility.

same goes for every race out there. ignorant folks brag about that foolishness so stop generalizing. everyone in the world should be wary of AIDS. i am tired of people generalizing black people like we're all either a or b. Report It

I agree with the answer - but would just like to point out that the liberal attitude is NOT 'its not my fault' or not taking responsibility. I am very liberal and I wholeheartedly believe in taking responsibility. Report It
