Growing up in America can be a very risky business for Black males. Too many—perhaps a majority—of young Black males get mentally “scarred” from a court system that targets them for eternal struggle. It’s called the United States Penal System. It can be a very evil system designed to target Blacks and keep them under control. Why? Perhaps it is a method of keeping economic control of a population. People with criminal records normally cannot find economic success in our society. A criminal record equates to designed failure and poverty. As we evolve America has been improving in how it treats its minority population. President Trump has taken a leadership position in Penal Reform. This is a very big “game changer” in the social arena of our culture. We should embrace it and allow it to flourish and succeed. A prosecution process that leads to no cure or rehabilitation is perpetual hell for offenders. They are doomed to fail at rehabilitation and become “lost” in a societal “wilderness.” A great book about this is written by Dr. Jawanza Kunjufu and is entitled “Countering the Conspiracy to Destroy Black Boys.” We highly recommend this book for all parents. It is important for Black parents to be alert to the fact that one of the components of early Black slavery was to break up the family unit. The system did this by attacking the male component of any Black family or group. The effects of this multi-century old practice still linger on in American society. In fact, not just America but wherever people of color live in a society that is majority White—Brazil, Columbia, Puerto Rico, England, Italy, wherever. Times are improving. We are getting closer to justice but still have a long way to go. unapologeticallyblack #riseandgrind #goodmorning #darkskingirls #darkskin #darkskincolour #blackwomen #darkskinislit #darkskinisbeautiful #blackbeauty #trends #melanin #melaninpoppin #spring #problack #blackbeauties #blackroyalty #africaculture #blacksuccess #blackgirlsrock #blackgirlsbreaktheinternet #braids https://www.instagram.com/p/BzYY8GknHqh/?igshid=uglx4yzwckc2

Thomas Moorehead initially wanted to pursue a career in education. He was at the peak of his career when he decided to take a risk in the automotive industry in 2001. And it turned out to be worth it as his company, Sterling Motorcars, became the first African-American Rolls Royce dealer in the world and first African-American Lamborghini and McLaren dealer in the United States. Even more, it still continues thriving throughout the years. #lamborghini unapologeticallyblack #riseandgrind #goodmorning #darkskingirls #darkskin #darkskincolour #blackwomen #darkskinislit #darkskinisbeautiful #blackbeauty #trends #melanin #melaninpoppin #spring #problack #blackbeauties #blackroyalty #africaculture #blacksuccess #blackgirlsrock #blackgirlsbreaktheinternet #braids blackandimproud #blackhistorymonth #melaninrich #blacklove #blackconsciousness #blackandproud #blackisbeautiful #blackunity #blackgirlmagic #staywoke #buyblack #blackexcellence #blackmensmiling https://www.instagram.com/p/BylNGf9HEqm/?igshid=ztoxveu1dmf1
