1. Education reform: With a 47 percent inner-city high school dropout rate (Baltimore alone is 59 percent), we need education reform. We must invest more capital and resources to educate our children so that they are prepared to achieve a college-level education.

a. Hire college students to tutor pre-K through 12. This will help provide much needed jobs and educate our children at the same time.

b. Issue American education bonds that pay a tax-free yield. The bonds will help educate our children and the tax-free yield will incentivize the $15 trillion in cash liquidity that Americans have to invest.

2. Ensure access to non-predatory home loans: U.S. taxpayers invested approximately $475 billion to bail out the banks and other large corporations. Audit the banks and mandate that they make home loans to all Americans - especially African-Americans, the furthest left behind - so that the African-American community can close the large home-ownership gap.

3. Audit the banks and mandate that they make business loans to African-American owned businesses: This is very important because 60 percent of the employment in America is provided by small businesses, and African-Americans are not able to employ people in our communities without the necessary capital.

4. Make the Internet free: At the very least, you must make the Internet free in areas that are poverty-stricken. Without the Internet and access to information, poverty-stricken households will never catch up to households above the poverty line - throwing the African-American community deeper into the stone ages. This is also in the best interest of homeland security. Every American should have access to real time information at affordable prices.

5. Equality in justice: Your former Attorney General Eric Holder told the world that with all things being equal, African-American males receive 20 percent longer sentences than white males committing the same crime. Please launch civil rights investigations to correct this and numerous other injustices.

6. Government economic inclusion: Make sure that 100 percent African-American owned media participates in your annual $2 billion advertising budget such as "Join the Army," "Join the Navy," "Join the Marines," et cetera. This ad support will provide much needed capital to create jobs and help to ensure that all of our voices are heard and widely distributed - which is the very definition of a true democracy.

7. Access to capital: President Obama, you control approximately $1 trillion in government worker pension fund money. None of that capital is managed by people in the African-American community or invested with entrepreneurs from the African-American community. This access to capital and investments will provide much needed jobs and opportunities in our communities.

8. Stand up to corporate institutionalized racism: A top AT&T executive was recently caught in the horrific act of sharing a meme that used the "N" word. A subsequent lawsuit revealed AT&T had been covering it up for close to two years, perpetuating institutionalized racism. The executive in question was a "key player" overseeing the merger of AT&T and DirectTV, TMZ reported. Do not let AT&T buy DirectTV for $67.5 billion and become the largest telecommunications and television company without launching a civil rights investigation and making sure AT&T settles the lawsuits against them for these heinous racist acts. If we don't send a message to corporate America that institutionalized racism is completely unacceptable, black America will never truly participate in the economic landscape.
