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.
And, I fixed your comment for you. Anyway, I'll hope that you are, in fact, familiar with the severely disproportionate percentage of black men in jails and prisons. So, I can only assume you're just playing devil's advocate. I'm not concerned about my ability to guide my sons into responsible manhood, but thank you for sharing such delightful mockery. It will take you far on Greek Chat.
