The Road to Success

In this day and age where there are opportunities for everyone that has the ambition to work hard for it, there are many brothers that are not taking advantage. There are many brothers that are still saying that the white man is keeping them down. I admit there is a level of racism that is everywhere, but there is no excess for not reaching a level of success in America.

Many make the argument that there are immigrants that come to America and make a good living. Then you have black people that are born here that cant get a job. I was raised in the hood. I always had the view that the guys selling dope and killing people were not living a good life. I had friends, however, that spent so much time with the the "older heads" that they got brain washed. The view that they hand down is that the best that they can expect is to sell dope or play basketball. There are communities that are created in the ghetto where your world view is limited to what you see. This is why you can go to the ghetto and you will find 15 year olds that have not been out of their neighborhood. Just as it is in jail, people create their own world that which makes it hard to preserve things that are outside that world. When people come to this country from other places their perception of America is the land of opportunity where people come here and can become successful. This is not to excuse people from not taking it upon themselves to look past their surroundings and seek better. I am only making the point that there is a problem that needs to be addressed in the black community that is not being directly addressed.

Through this blog I will attempt to give a practical solution to this issue. I will give specific information to point brothers toward a fulfilling career.
