I probably sound like a broken
record, but my son is 24. It is scary to think about what each day will bring
into his life. At a very young age, I told him, and it was sad to say, but it
was the truth. You are an African American male living in the United States of America so there are strikes against you.
1. You are black.
2. You are male and.
3. If 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.
Today I say to him and my
daughter. When you at school your professor/s and or classmate/s might be
packing heat. Don’t antagonize. Be careful…
