“It Is Scary”

I have a son… A black male and it is scary to think about what each day will bring into his life… At a very young age, I told my son, and it was sad to say, but it was the truth… You have strikes against you…

1. You are a black.

2. You are a male.

3. You don’t have an education…

You cannot change yourself, but you can make changes to your educational status. Go to school and get a good education…

When you go to the store, the workers in the store may shadow you… ignore them… get what you want, pay for it, make sure you get a bag and a receipt…

If you are stopped by the police make sure they could see your hands…

Be aware of the neighborhood watch… He might be packing heat, and easily upset when he sees a black man.

At school, your professor/s and or classmate/s might be packing heat. Be careful…
