"It Takes A Village To Raise A Child"

It is no surprise that for “social decline” to exist there must be a level of prenatal buffoon development in every community. Every leader that has dared to unset this agenda in the last 40 years has either been assassinated or financially defanged. It is no mystery to the end result of this agenda when you look at the effects of low black birth rates to high black incarcerations and social impotence.

Almost forty years ago this was a no issue. Consider that the black community’s drug problem began the instance black soldiers were denied drug treatment returning from Vietnam that was readily available to their white counterparts. Heroin and later Crack cocaine became the epidemic of the black community after Vietnam had long been over with. This single event help create the effects that linger until today with our young folks.

At the end of the year when you or I file for our tax return, we will never be asked per a question for a tax break, “Have you helped any one get off dope”. It is not in the drug industry, law enforcement, or social pandering organization’s best interest for “Us the People” to help ourselves and each other.

The penal system has become a big money business and we as a people seem to be investing more of our time and value in that than into the stock market, banking etc. There needs to be a major revamp in our government system yes but we also need to take responsibility for our own actions and say enough is enough. You and I know every person incarcerated will tell you they are honest and did not do it and I am sure there are those in there with whom that story rings true, but I venture to say that is a small minority.

We have to adjust our thinking and the teaching of our young. We need to get to them at an early age and instill some of the old morals and values we were taught growing up.

“I come from a single parent household” was never an excuse back then because your whole neighborhood was your parent. If you did something wrong down the street, you might get scolded or slapped several times before you arrived home and then mom or dad was waiting to finish the job.

The old saying “It takes a whole village to raise a child” rings so true and we need that now more than ever, so hey, slap a child ( just kidding) but if you see a youth doing something that could affect him or herself in a negative way, take the time and try to sit and explain that they have other options.

Let’s be the village and raise our children. I know I am trying, will you help me out. I would love to have you along.

Peace, Love and Blessings
