  I wonder what would happen If black men stopped trying to assimilate themselves into a system that was never meant to work for them, you cant play by another man's rules and expect to win. I wonder what would happen if fathers raised their boys right and were there for them so they wont have to look to the streets for male role models. I wonder what would happen if we stopped pushing drugs and alcohol on our young boys and instead pushed cultural and traditional teachings on how to be a man, a leader in the community, a pillar for the next generations. I wonder what would happen if we taught our young boys that resolving issues with violence is not a display of masculinity but is a very feminine trait(emotionally driven/no rationality at all), where i come from as men we resolve issues through dialogue first and foremost n respect is always at the center of things. We are brothers, all the clans, tribes and nations of Africa, everyone else has their own system that works for them...
