Tonight as you and I lay our heads down upon our pillows for a good night's rest there is a fact that we should ponder. The number of Black men between the ages of 18 and 23 who will join us in this nightly ritual from Prison cells far exceeds those who will lay their heads down in College dormitories.
I find this completely unacceptable. It shames me as an American, and I only wish I could add that it shocks me, but it doesn't. It's just one more legacy of our Racist History. A history that needs to be actively reversed by national initiatives and reparations!
There was a time when we appeared to be moving in the right direction; but no more. We are now at war with ourselves on so many levels: poverty, culture, race, sexuality, gender....that our nation has become officially stagnent in it's progress to achieving it's highest ideals, and practically obstinant on an individual level.
If this "shoe" were on a white foot, can you imagine the effort we would extend to find, demand, and create a solution? That's why this is first and foremost about RACISM.
Bitter-sweet Dreams......
