It's not easy being black especially a black man already born with a Target on your back always expected to make the possible out of the impossible this story / book will illustrate some of the most common things African males go through while being on a day today basis it's not a race or race war White's against blacks but just to put a microscope on how black men get mistreated and abused whether it's at home the workplace or just out in the world some turn to drugs alcohol sex even maybe joined the wrong crowd because they were treating them right at the time did you know in 1958 a black man named Clennon King applied to the university of Mississippi and was admitted to an asylum the judge ruled that only insanity can make a black man think he could apply to the university that was 1958 and we still have that same rage of hatred blazing against us till this day it's not hard being a black man society just makes it so hard for a person to believe everything is going to be all right when you are fighting the unwinnable battle living this life will depict at you have you thinking every turn you make ends up in a dead end maybe wake up thinking you're not good enough but truth is the world not good to you everything in your life leads up to bad karma or even unlucky luck all because the color of your skin and not the content of your character spoken by yours truly Mr King let's talk about Martin Luther King Jr for a second now these are my words and what I think of Mr.King Mr.King was an activist Christian minister husband and father Martin was best known for advancing civil rights through nonviolence and civil disobedience to me Martin and Malcolm and Mr.Muhammad were like heroes we a get to them two a little later but they all share similar of the same qualities all of them stood for something and believed in it even died believing goes to show you how far a never dying desire goes these guys are pioneers to my generation the founding fathers of showing us to unite love and through peace everything doesn't have to always end in violence they came at the right time for us Lord knows where would the world be if Donald Trump was running it in the fifties don't plan on this being that long just want people to see some things from our view ever applied for a job an they was all ecstatic over the phone because your energy and name you get there and they look like they are going to defecate on themselves because you are a black man or what about going to court having the same charges as a Caucasian like mirroring images charges and they get a lesser plea deal than you imagine if it was a black man's world instead of a white man's world sad part we wouldn't care about the title or try to uphold it it's crazy someone can not like you because the look of your skin but haven't ever got the chance to know you being a troubled black man doesn't necessarily mean you got in trouble with the law but meaning you are troubled causing that trouble can be the way you look at things certain outcomes of a situation the effects the world has on you imagine you on a boat sinking with the life jacket on you keep trying to get up and stay steady but the current keep smacking you down that's kind of how a black man feels waking up in today's society imagine losing a mother at a young age and having to deal with the heartache without knowing how not saying everyone doesn't have these problems but it's different being the young African male your father might be in the household but at the same time still he a rolling Stone he's coping also all things come into factor what about five or six extra siblings and maybe one of your brothers go to jail early at young age so the sister left to take on the burden as a mother while having to be and learn how to be a mother on her own that makes and build a hunger in you that void cant be filled but somehow you keep trying to feel it having to be a man in a household young is tough growing up in a city where we don't really call a city more like a town modern day age is different but what you been through can really make you or break you we didn't have the luxury of growing up where no one could afford a pistol so we lost people Young and didn't really know how to channel that energy from being sad to mad too angry like why this happened to such a good person in that person's eyes not enough guidance but a whole lot of ambition to figure things out being driven by something more than just yourself having a toll on things Malcolm X once said I have more respect for a man who let me know where he stands even if he's wrong then the one who comes up like an angel and is nothing but a devil knowing that you're back is against the wall where do you stand do you fight stand tall on all of your principles or do you coward it away as a pessimist?
