“Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance." - Confucius
Before reading this remember :
1) ALL young black males are not ignorant
2) ALL young black males are not LOST
Now that we got that out the way lets dig in.....ignorance is at an ALL time high among us young black males. We disrespect our women, leave our children to be raised by single mothers, give away our freedom for fast money, amongst many other things.
Now I'm not here to change the world just to share a quick thought and prospective on this matter that plagues us and hopefully others will do the same
I feel as though our job as young black males is to be LEADERS in anything we do because we have ALWAYS been strong we just don't use our strength in the right ways. We are supposed to lead with examples and be role models to the upcoming youth, So where did we go wrong??
Why has the thought of poppin bottles, models, and mollies taken over our culture? What happened to young black males wanting to be like MLK or Malcolm X and not 2chainz ?
What makes us so IGNORANT is the fact that we don't realize how far we could get as a culture if we had more young black males helping each other and upcoming youth rather than destroying each other. No one is perfect but it doesn't hurt to advise a young black kid to do something positive with his life.
TOO many young black men are dying in the streets, being locked up, and not supporting the children they had a hand in making..Are we that selfish and ignorant that we don't wanna change for the better?
