I think you gotta do what you gotta do to stay free and alive. There's no justice in this country. |
Such might keep you alive, sure, free... not so much. And then the question becomes, is such life worth living? This is an issue blacks in America have had to struggle with for centuries and so will your children, should you have any.

So, don't let your "boys" be out at night. In my family, all children had to be in the house by a certain time. Once they are grown, well, there is nothing more you can do. If you don't believe in your ability to raise black boys into responsible black men who won't be arrested (or at least convicted), then maybe you shouldn't have any.
