THE HAND YOU'RE DEALT OR HOW YOU PLAY YOUR CARDS?
Being a Black man in America is a struggle. Black men are more likely to die before they reach the age twenty-one. They have more of a chance of being incarcerated. They are also less likely to receive an education past high school level. A lot of Blacks are born into poverty, drugs, and single parent households. Many people say that the direct cause of the problem is rascism.
But how is it that some Black men can escape being victimized while others fail to get rescued?
There are plenty of Black men who are successful and does not fit into the stereotypes. For some reason DO RIGHT BLACK MEN, WITH DO RIGHT ATTITUDES go unnoticed.
One must wonder who taught these brothers that in order to survive in America, they must be a Jack of all Trades!
