A Message To My Beautiful Black People : Are We Our Own Worst Enemy?
In the past couple of years in Monmouth county and all around the country so many young black boys and girls have died at the hands of their own people.
In the past couple of years in Monmouth County and all around the country, so many young Black men and women have died at the hands of their own people. In America, every minute an African American has died at the hands of another African American.
It is an unfortunate yet real reality. We kill more of our own people more than any other race.
Now don’t get me wrong. Statistically, white on white crime occurs just as much as black on black crime. It’s what the media wants to reports. But as a people, we must do better. There is without a doubt, that crime in the African American community is an issue that needs to be addressed.
It seems as if, no matter far we have come, we’re still so far from where we need to be. Rather than help one another to push our race further into success we point guns at one another over senseless gang violence. We’ve come so far with a black president and so many black men and women going to college and becoming doctors and lawyers but yet and still we destroy ourselves by turning on one another.
No one is to blame for our down falls as a race but ourselves because we are our own worst enemy.
Wake up my people.
