Okay ladies I should warn you now, this post might be a little long in length. However, it is sooo worth checking out. When Obama was fisrt elected I was one of the main ones screaming how us black people should really be inspired to reach for the sky. Especially the black man!!
I felt like if Obama could accomplish something so out of the norm like becoming president than yes we should try to become the doctors, the lawyers, and business owners we always dreamed of becoming!!! My point was let's no longer make excuses for failure. Or using the race card as an excuse. ("its hard out here for a black man"! R.I.P).
Okay so now I am aware of a sitution of a good black man being wrongfully accused, I ask what do we do when there's a hard working black man (#35) who is wrongfully accused??? It makes me sooo sick to my stomach to see that no matter how far we've come there is still those group of people who cannot stand to see certain individuals come up in life. When there down and out they're quick to give that "you need to get it together" speech. But when they get it together they do everything in their will power to knock them back down.
So maybe it is hard out here for a black man. I mean could you imagine working so hard to build this foundation, just to see someone take it all away. I find it disappointing that with a scribble of a pen they can just pick you up and wrongfully arrest you. Despite the fact that you've been working so hard.
I know a lot of people instinct reaction is to give up and just be done with trying to do the right thing. Wrong!!! You have to walk with your head up and continue doing what your doing. Imagine how many doors was slammed in Obama's face before he got into the White House. I'm sure it wasn't easy.
To my black men keep your head up. Don't get discourage. Because we all know that God has the final word~ just a thought
