"Young Black Man”
My sympathy, empathy and condolences goes out to you for your loss of loved ones lives based on their choices relative to being a product of their environment(s). As I once read in (The Life of Reason) “those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it”
-George Santayana
We the people (referring to most homo sapiens) have a tendency to be prone to propaganda mongering (bandwagon brokering if you will). Society is quick to support you (Young Black Man) by backing fueled rioting in result of authoritative bullying and excessive force often ending in fatality.
The only true supporter of you is YOU. By any means am I not proposing that you continue to own one another via the drug, prostitution and self annihilation tactics. However, if you wish to have value, be publicly acknowledged as a worthy and productive citizen in society, then start conducting yourself as one.
You see the trick has and probably will always be played, like a simple card game. Media hype feeds into a Young Black Man or child who gets murdered or brutally assaulted by police officials or others. In retrospect, society should be more concerned about about creating an uproar to quell the genocidal mayhem occurring within the black communities of America, not a few tragic isolated incidents. While we steadily lose tens of thousands by the hands of each other and yet so little press with the exception to local media coverage.
We lead the athletic field, comedic entertainment and charismatic platforms of the world, but yet at the end of the line or totem pole in seizing our own brand.
Stop having to be reminded of your worth in vain in order to claim your foothold in society. The only hand out you need comes from within your own communities. Change the paradigm how we operate with one another. It’s evident the generation before us has yet to take action on implementing programs and firm consequences for not participating in community reform and self love building.
“Young Black Man”, WAKE UP! WISE UP!
I’m G Banx and that’s my perspective.
