We hear the message from the mouthpieces, the community leaders and others.
The system is failing the black youth.
Really?
What about the parents?
What about black churches?

We blame the schools?
We blame the government.
But not those within the communities bringing it down.

We know the phrase "a mind is a terrible thing to waste".

But if the black youth trade is to steal, rob and sell drugs.
Then that youth is failing themselves.

If getting pregnant without concentrating on your future and goals.
Then that youth is failing themselves.
Really, we can't continue to blame anyone else.

Notice, those black youth that stayed focus and succeeds.
They knew what they wanted in life?
They made their dreams come true.

If the parents are the drug supplier to the community?
And let's not avoid this topic?
Cause many black youth parents are dealers in the trade.
They hurting society and the community and put them at risk.

If mom still thinking she the friend instead of the parent?
Then restrictions of guidance are limited.
She yet to comprehend the role of a parent.

The government, can't be blamed completely.
If Johny can't read?
Then he alerts anyone.

And if the parent can't read?
Then failure occurred because the parent didn't want better.

Then there is the church?
Unlike the days of the fifties and sixties and early on.
The mission seems to be growth and ownership of land.
Instead being that lighthouse of hope to assist those needing it.
