People should know that for some, abstaining is a very conscious and prepared decision. I’m not simply being cynical, lazy, or ignorant. I have had numerous arguments with myself and friends and had my mind wrapped around this quandary for a while before I reached the decision to not vote. While I cannot include every reason I have for not voting, I hope I can highlight a few major qualms I have and that you may read with an open mind.... 
If you perform a Google search for black women, the images that appear will include half-naked women in provocative poses. Nona C. Jones learned this one day while surfing the web during class for graduate school. “There is so much more to the Black Woman than these images suggest,” Jones said to herself.

More than 40 students from the UF chapter of NSBE sacrificed their Saturday morning to speak to youth on the eastside of Gainesvile about the importance of education. Join reporter Kallan Louis as he reports on why so many dedicate their time to the cause. Only Some Gators Get Out Alive
