Our voice doesn’t matter.

At least, that’s how it sometimes seems when we try to talk politics.  The truth is, we’ve got PLENTY to say. From gun violence in our hood to our friends who have risked their lives overseas, we know what’s good…and we are calling for CHANGE!

YOU(th) VOTE! is THE spot to speak up. It features 4 young bloggers from across the country sounding off on the most important issues facing our community…  real talk. It’s up to us to hit the page and discuss what’s going down in our ‘hoods.

 

You’ll even get the chance to vote on your favorite blogger – the one who speaks to you- and BET will send him/her to the democratic national convention to represent your point of view  and take a stand on your behalf.

Check back daily and tell us what you want to CHANGE!

  • "the immigration issue"
  • i think mr.obama should do something about the immigrants in the u.s. the u.s has a lot of immigrants and the population is increasing every year. there are immigrants from all over the country but all i here about the immigrants are the hispanics and not a lot about the asians.well there is a lot of asian immigrants and we should talk about that too.i personally want to help the immigrants, because we all came to america for a better life and to make our dreams come true.mr.obama showed us that noting is possible in america.they came here to give better lives to their family and loved ones,so

  • "if i were 18 i would vote"
  • rise up the youth of the world society is killing our youths equality. shoot us clear out of the sky. the sky, where we make a living to survive. people say you have parents. but, our parents can't clear our every need. economy is burning our spending money you see. gas prices are the weeds of the world forcing young girls to mature to be w***s and, guys selling drugs in front of the corner stores. the pre-answered question people ask is "why they w***s?" and, see us dealing or consuming around the corner stores. it's simple they need to stop asking why we be doing it well s***

  • "be aware"
  • for everyone that is planning to vote, please be aware that you are not allowed to have any campaign paraphenalia (obama shirts, buttons etc) at the polls. it is considered campaigning and you might not be allowed to vote as campaigning within a certain feet from the polls is against the law. please be aware and spread this information...

  • "youth"
  • for kids to have the choice to drop out of high school should not be allowed. i think there should be programs that are affordable out there for teens that has our best interest. it might decrease teens from hanging out in the streets and gang violence.

  • "black men and white women"
  • i'm sick and tired of a seeing black men chasing after white women and vice versa. at first black men were all on light skin women now light skin women aren't even good enough for them. it annoys me when i hear black men say i love all different types o women but when they see their own race of women they turn their noses up. it is a contradiction. it's not like i'm trying to own all black men. but all the other things black people are going through it's just another slap in the face to black women. black should stick together love one another
