If the black predicament didn't have so many different layers tiers and heads. For someone wanting with every fiber in his being to help it's impossible to know where to start.
You could blame the neighborhood or the upbringing, but I noticed while living and a middle-class black neighborhood that so many of the kids clung to negative black stereotypes, acted on them like it made them more black, as if being born NOT poor somehow made them not Black enough.
They hung out in the projects with people who manipulated them into thinking that they were their friends. I wish I could grab the people and tell them:
It doesn't matter if your iPod is filled with Ed Sheeran and not Migos or Lil Wayne.
It doesn't matter if you have Jordans or no name shoes.
It doesn't matter if every word out of your mouth is a slang or swear word or--if you know when to use who and whom.
It doesn't matter if you wear skinny jeans or a pocket protector
It doesn't matter if you can dribble a basketball or not
Whoever you are there is absolutely nothing you can do to make yourself more or less black. Black is being. You were born black. Whether you are proud of it or ashamed it it won't change.
I know you want to fit in. I did too. I thought it was cool to be dumb because I was ridiculed for years for being smart. I wanted to fit in and by doing so I threw my life off track. My life ain't bad but I wonder all the time where I would be if I had gone to college instead of the military.
But I digress. You can be a lawyer and black. You can be a doctor and black you can be a paleontologist and black you can be a nurse and black. you can be a janitor and black. you can be a stockbroker and be black. You can be an entrepreneur and be black. You can be a teacher and be black
Stop thinking that all you can be as a thug. Stop thinking that all you can be is who they expect to see when they see you. Stop thinking all you can be as a ballplayer or a rapper.
Being black means you can be whatever you want to be. All you ever had to do was put in the work

Intelligent Brother! He actually did one of the TED talks. Outstanding.
So many people haven't taken the time to be still. They've always been trapped whether they knew it or not. He spent his life running from one thing to another not doing anything. For once, this guy was still.
We have tons of negative influences before we are even the cognizant and that we are following the wrong path.
Two roads diverged in a wood and I, I took the One Less Traveled by, and that has made all the difference

No guidance mixed with being young and stupid; add in systematic racism and boom!!!
