Well, I tried to leave a comment on the post but it seems that I have been blocked. So anyway…

 

Interesting story! We actually just discussed the statistic that 1 in 3 black males would be incarcerated. Isn't that sad?Statistics usually are. Way to be a role model and work towards success.

That statistic is sad. However, after living and seeing it, I know why.. Literally, the people I grew up with had no option. It wasn't until older that I finally realized the Jay-z lyric "I had to hustle, back to the wall ashy knuckles" that is a true statement. If all you know is violence, crime, drugs and all your parents know is the same. What do you think the child will do? I'm thankful for my mother, because my sisters (dad's side) didn't get as lucky as I was…
