Man how the time have changed...
"Man" is the issue. The black man it is... I'm a firm believer in perception isn't reality, but in this case if the shoe fits, Well you know the rest. Providers and protectors are what we were meant for but fell to imprison and unreliable. Our reputation has been forever tarnish. We went from empowering to powerless, organizations to gangs, and the worst from the courtroom steps to in the courtroom itself. Think about it... When you hear bad neighborhood... What's the first thing you think? (black) club fight? (black) etc. etc.
Facts are facts...
2 years ago I worked for Manning Correction Institute... Where a head count was actually taken everyday and on any given day was 70 percent black. No matter the crime whether they deserve to be there or not... they reside there. This just one of 29 state prisons not including Federal prisons or County jails. In the United States 72 percent black kids grow up in a single parent household. 37 percent in South Carolina, 50 in Barnwell county where I reside. That prison number could have a lot to do with this...
Martin where have you gone?
Nowadays when you here "King" we think Lebron. Martin Luther King Jr has become an after thought... Well unless its February. The days of Martin, Malcolm, Stokely Carmichael and Thurgood Marshall are LONG gone. We place Jim Crow laws on ourselves, even Jesse Jackson called Obama a n&$#+ (What a role model). Many fought and died to give us the right... To kill ourselves (Don't think they had that in mind). Right now when you think of a black man you ask... "ever been to jail?" "How many kids?" "How many mothers?" "Do you drink or smoke?"... Right now a man is actually considered to be a "good" man if he has a job... Sad but true...
Coincidence?...
Black power movement hit its highest peak in the 60s, so did crack. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 came in, 1968 Martin Luther goes out. Here's more... The easiest war tactic is to divide and conquer. So how can you weaken a race at is strongest point... The civil rights movement is dated all the way up to 1975.... The same year child support was created. Which is only two years after abortions was legalized. Think about this... Child Support is suppose to offset the "absent" father.... But only seeks money in which they profit off of. Shouldn't they be able to court order time too?... There's no sheet you can fill out for time is it? That would actually help strengthen, that's not what the system is made for.
Thank God for the black woman...
With all the attention paid to the black male, the black woman has stepped into the forefront. The new face of the race. A new guidance, new direction, and most importantly a new empowerment. Our race is getting strong again. Under new management, the body was stronger than we thought and it all came from a rib. With the power to give life they have rebirth our race. Women went from Celie to CEOs, from the kitchen to college, from mother to daddy, and most importantly... from the back of the bus to the backbone of this black culture... I salute!
