I come across the strangest things on the internet and not much surprises me anymore but this had me thoroughly disturbed. It all started with a post on Facebook with one person saying they had been in the same prison as someone else about 30 years earlier. I don't know about the next person but I wouldn't be broadcasting my criminal status....ever. Needless to say, this statement caused me to click on their profile. He was an older guy, I'd say in his 50s. I started looking at photos on his page and came across this gang-type photo of 5 men in white T's and ball caps, some standing and some kneeling in front. That wasn't the disturbing part. I've seen photos like that before. What was disturbing was the young boy, maybe 5 or 6 years old standing in between the group of men holding a handful of cash and above him, one of the guys was holding some sort of automatic rifle. Seriously, this is the image they are sending out to young boys. Again, thoroughly disturbed.
I'm just going to put it out there. Some of our black men have a lot of growing to do, a lot of growing. It really saddens me.
