YOUNG BLACK MALE

Cognac
weed
smoke
hennesy
three tokes and 
the young black male 
addicted to the tale 
of the American Dream
can't he see it's all a scheme
to make him believe 
that designer names 
belong on his sleeve 
it's foreign to him 
because of the colour 
of his skin.
when will he realize 
that it's all lies


“he was never meant 
to live past 21�


so he thinks to him self why not carry a gun. 
your dying anyway 
addicted 
to crack,
coke
and 
weed 
so many black lives 
without hope
misrepresented
as a result of their actions
the majority that is
young
black
foolish
yet
nieve.

Social misrepresentation - here's another one. So called African militants who don't believe (fundamentally) in marriage and that children are meant to be born in wedlockconfused2


Their knives and their guns could not hold me, their drinks and their drugs could not control me, their education could not school me, their religion could not fool me, their women could never tempt me
their politicians could never rent me, but the babylon daughter still got my pikney!

RE: african militants

"I share your pain"
but truely what can I say
I blame it on culture, tradition and even the way the world and society has evolved in this present day.

slavery
blood shed
racism
abuse
ignorance

things that will never go away
yet i hear people say
"its 2007, get over it"
I would gladly turn around and spit in the faces
of those who do not acknowledge
the cold and messed up world we are living in today
but that would make me no better then him, her or annoymous suicide bomber walking our streets just ticking away.

its pure ignorance
and lack of education
that leads to corruption in politics
and develops into cultural defect

for those of you that are wiser
keep paving the way
for understanding and knowledge
because it truely pays.

yaya - hmmm....I was involved in a strange argument where this African militant (so called) refused to see marriage and wedlock as an African social virtue. Eventually he went as far as winning the confidence and favouritism of people who didn't even consider themselves African let alone militant in his attempt to seek safety in numbers.

I think his idea was that everyone who had children outside of wedlock (or all the transgressors) would turn against me

You would have thought being the militant, he would have made it his duty to promote marriage and wedlock to others...a kind of social misrepresentation in its own right:?

Social misrepresentation seems to be the safest group to be a member of.
