It was not very long ago that there were no college educated family members or friends in most of our black neighborhoods or communities. Most of this was attributed to a lack of financing as well as a lack of opportunities. Blacks simply couldnt afford it! Had it not been for the G.I. Bill which was available to military veterans in the 60s, I would not have been able to get a college education. Today things have changed somewhat, and many of our families have now produced college graduates. However, everything that shines is not gold.

The purpose of this writing is to raise awareness of a significant problem facing the black community and the educational process which I define as a dilemma. This affects the cultural relations between the black and white communities of America. In many ways this is a subtle and often unforeseen situation that escapes the attention of those unaware. We as people are often prone to focus our attention on matters that concern our own immediate lives and families.
