What the HELL is wrong with ‘our’ boys? That is the question! While I could pontificate on the many ills in our communities, I will instead give you an answer that will empower you: “They do wrong because they have been taught wrong!”
Now I am not here to debate with you whether this is the ‘right’ answer or not. For the sake of argument, let’s assume this statement is accurate. I know that for many people giving someone else the power over an argument can be extremely difficult, but in order to demonstrate my point I need you to work with me. Another question, whose responsibility is it to teach YOUR sun?
YOURS
Once again, another answer that empowers you! While I do believe it takes a man to teach a boy how to be a man, our Black Queens have been raising our young men since slavery and have always had to adapt their teaching methods with the times. Well, the time has come for us to upgrade our teaching methods and the information we share with our suns. Let’s stop pretending and be honest with each other for one minute. As far as you know, has this country “The United States of America” always had or currently has the best intentions of the so-called African American? BE HONEST! Is there a difference globally in the way people of color are treated (i.e. red, yellow, brown, black) compared to the way white people are treated?
STOP! THINK!
