“Stay in school. I live in the Bayview.”

We can not forget the content of people before judging them. Don’t blame the child blame the parents or the parents parents or maybe blame the community or even slavery or white supremacy. Lets not be self-righteous, which is something we all can be guilty of at times.

To be an African American child in any black neighbor in America is not just a possible death sentence of the body but of the mind as well. (The leading cause of death for young black youth is homicide.) I don’t live in the Bayview and would never bring my kids up in that area unless I had no other choice. These kids on the T are being programed to expect failure because they see it all around them. Instead of blaming them for not succeeding in an environment that is not designed for success lets find a more constructive solution other than stay in school. What is the use of graduating from a school that has failed you.

“Most of the Black young men who drop out of school have no way to enter the labor force. Most of the young Black women who mate with them enter the public assistance community and never enter the workforce.”

So stay in school. I live in Bayview. I see all the young men and girls acting the fool on the T. If they decide to drop out of school then unemployment and welfare is what they get for that decision. Why should they get a second chance when others worked hard to stay in school and make something of their lives?

America to me is a joke, this country was founded by criminals who had an opportunity to be free in a new land, made up somthin called manifest destiny, “the destiny to conquer america.
they killed off most the natives,tried to enslave them but they couldnt work to there standards and then forced the remaining natives to live on reservations,then dehumanized African men and women of the west ivory coast by making them slaves. slaves who couldnt read write or take part in any form of education, they beat Black men and raped Black women, hunted escaped men like animals, passed laws that Blacks were only considered 3/4 of a man so that laws couldnt not protect us, and made laws against Blacks to return them to slavery if they had been caught, sometime later the emancipation proclamation, of Abe Lincoln, that did not free all the slaves but slaves of the selected states. supposedly Blacks were to receive 40 acres and a mule, never did, no reparations, no apology, yet in pearl harbor the Asians received 25000 each to start a new life in america, theses Asians were forced from there homes into military guarded camps,and returned home only to find that there property was sold and america did apologize for that, but after the civil war a lot of Blacks help rebuild this country no thanks, just separation of the races. When the races were separated, Blacks did pretty well for themselves in their communities, at a time when were in a recession, then next thing you know Tulsa Oklahoma gets burn down buy jealous whites because blacks were more successful,not only men but women and children were hung and brutally murdered by the hundreds if not thousands. i never seen a hatred of a race so pure than that of a white to a black. not all whites are bad, just the old conservative who doesnt want change. this country treats blacks like the bottom of the totem poll, even immigrants look down on blacks, the only way blacks are ever gonna rise to the top, is if they do not buy into the perception of how america views blacks.

blacks are strong, they are the number 1 hustlers,they are built to survive, hundreds of years of being conditioned in the fields passes on genetic traits that make them faster,and stronger, blacks are the American athlete. im not saying the other races cant do what blacks do im just saying that blacks can do it in a way that is almost natural and instinctive. mainstream america would be seriously lacking if it wasnt for the cultural contributions of blacks, im talking about the media, music and entertainment

blacks of america need to unite, and become like the Jewish power house, they need to stop killing themselves, they need to stop selling themselves short, and they need to pull back the wool over their eyes and see america for what it really is, time is running out, humans should realize that were humans and not races, just different. the world would be boring if there were not differences.

Dont hate, work together, be informed and not ignorant

god says that which is last will be first, keep hope alive, we all need to be freed from our mental prisons and see that in life We all live on the same level of existence

one love, Danzel

We are deliberately being replaced and marginalized in the work force. Our men are forced into idleness which is a slow social death. The police then hunt us all day until they see some infraction and then you´re in court and on your way to jail! This is America´s final solution to the black problem!
