Band-Aid's Last Temporarily
By, Kenneth L. Watson
The world we live in has been designed to set limitations to the plight of our "Young Black" males. Not only is it already hard for us to compete with others in this "so-called... White Man's World", more than ever, we are experiencing entrapment and lost identity with our place in this world. Too many of our brothers are locked up in correctional facilities, that to me, only band-aid the problems our culture faces day to day. To accurately defuse this crisis already taking place, we must no longer stand still and watch. As Jawanza Kunjufu has stated, "Allocating more resources in preventative programs for boys than crisis- often times band-aid- solutions for men. In a nut shell, the shit clearly ain't working ya'll!!! Even when his incredible and very informative piece of work titled, "Countering the Conspiracy to Destroy Black Boys, Vol. 2, was released, these facts were realized. The question is how can this actually be changed? I propose actions of empowering the youth as a definitive and very useful tool in correctively building up and developing the skills and moral standards of our black males. But it must begin with us! Not their systems which just enslave our children and limit the potential of which our brilliant minds can reach!
