Worry?
Why not be?
Somewhere a young black male is willingly trying to join the prison slave camp.

Why?
Through robbery.
Through carjacking.
Through ******.
Why ******?
A majority is only tough with a gun.
With fists, they can't to defend themselves.

Many mothers trying but with a hardheaded teen not listening.
It's trying times.
Tough love means controlling the narrative.

Just because you mad at the father, if not together.
He might or might not be able to control that situation.

Also vice versa.

The saga of the black male youth.
This means dictating they get a legit job to contribute to the home.
What time they MUST be home?

If not eighteen and at home?
They not legally grown simply playing the part.

Can't keep complaining about the criminal court system?
If committing crimes?
Is a personal decision of theirs?

Because soon, it's the saga of another black male.
