Let's be honest Black men have not collectively brought a paradigm to Black youth to follow on a collective basis for over 400 years, and until we do then prison will continue to be as the rap songs chant and hynotize;
A rights of passage!
I grew up middle class and saw came back from college and saw young high school brothers, some whose parents owned 2 homes and made well over 6 figures combined,
in jail for multiple homicides, some armed robbery, and some dead.
We realy are not looking at the psychology of this issue, either ours or the youths
We must also be honest with the fact that 85% of all prison inmates are from fatherless homes.
The situation with brothers from stable, two parent households in jail for multiple homicides, robbery, etc is far and away the EXCEPTION rather than the rule.
