For the last month I haven't felt the desire to blog. I'm just frustrated with words that come out of people's mouths. I have heard so many people say that they can't stand drug dealers because they are poisoning our children. Then people say it isn't any excuses for why
they sell drugs because it is other options out their. Don't get me wrong because yes it is wrong to sell drugs. I'm not trying to justify them doing what they did. However has anyone ever listened to what they are saying. It's a known fact that education has let African Americans down. It was a two day special on Oprah talking about the education of African Americans. It was said in that program that we are back to racial segregation in education.
So I'm going to say this to all those that say they are poisoning our children. Those were the children that someone 10 or 15 years ago said someone else was saying were being poisoned. Those are the same children that didn't receive an education that everyone is talking about. Those are the children that public schools let down 5 to 15 years ago.
In another five to 15 years ago it will be someone else saying they are killing there own and poisoning the children.
How can we say that people for whatever reasons resulting in someone selling drugs is the worse human being there is. They are worse than a murder a child molester according to society. How can we say that and then on the other hand say we aren't educating our children they end up dropping out and 12th grade African Americans are reading at a 7th grade level and their Caucasian counterparts are reading at a 12th. So when the mixing pot began mixing and the finish dough came out to be non violent drug offenders than oh my god. Lock them up and throw away the key. Has that solved the problem? Is it going to solve the problem?
No one should have to fight a fight to get a child educated like the fight we are. So when people throw in the towel and for whatever reason gives up don't judge and say what they deserve and what you hate. Instead let's all take responsibility for what society has created and began to change it.
Illegal immigrants protested for three days about a bill that was introduced to the house that would have made anyone arrested in this country that was an illegal immigrant a felon. After only three days that part of the bill is history.
Why is it we are the first to fall and the last to stand? You may say it's not you-but believe me it will hit your family one day. Starting in elementary school when they tell you that your child can't read or your child is ADHD. Just know that is where it all begins. The question is when will it end?
Also before someone speaks about how these people are walking around with guns and doing all these crazy things. WHAT DOES NON VIOLENT MEAN?
How do you know your son will be the 1 out of five that won't be arrested and won't go through incarceration?
How can you say that your daughter won't be the one who ends up with the boyfriend that wasn't the one out of five and ended up incarcerated? Trying to raise a child alone because on his first offense he is doing twenty years.
Or who is to say that you will not end up being that parent serving prison time because you didn't tell on your child. You are know serving time with them.

I have to say, I do agree with you to a point. The education system has a long history of leaving behind a lot of the minorities (not just African Americans.) But education cannot stop at the school. I hear so many parents complain that their child is not learning or they don't know why they are failing in school. I can't help but think WHY don't you know? Education cannot stop at the school! How many parents sit and read to or with their children. How many pareents check(I mean really check) to make sure their children are doing their homework and they have an understanding of what is going on in the classrooms. How many parents look for outside resources to help their children if they can't. How many parents talk to their kids about making the right decisions. How many parents can say they set a good example for their kids? Put a value on education and where it can take you. I know my parents never did. I was lucky and intelligent enough to try to make a life for myself. I get so tired of people blaming the government, schools and media for the problems kids have. It is not their jobs to raise your kids! The fundemental values have to come from home. If they are not there, then a child's probabilty for success is greatly lowered. Think about that.
