confused responsibility winning
I'M CONFUSED, because I don't know why it's so hard to obey a policeman. You will not win!!! And I don't know why some policeman abuse their power. Power is a responsibility, not a weapon to brandish and lord over the populace.
football jobs blessed
I believe that I have a platform because God blessed me with the talent to play football. Having that talent, my job is to be responsible with it.
painful-experiences racism insulting
I'M OFFENDED, because of the insulting comments I've seen that are not only insensitive but dismissive to the painful experiences of others.
jobs men rights
I'M SYMPATHETIC, because I wasn't there so I don't know exactly what happened. Maybe Darren Wilson acted within his rights and duty as an officer of the law and killed Michael Brown in self defense like any of us would in the circumstance. Now he has to fear the backlash against himself and his loved ones when he was only doing his job. What a horrible thing to endure. OR maybe he provoked Michael and ignited the series of events that led to him eventually murdering the young man to prove a point.
hurt racism community
I'M SAD, because another young life was lost from his family, the racial divide has widened, a community is in shambles, accusations, insensitivity hurt and hatred are boiling over, and we may never know the truth about what happened that day.
growing-up father kids
If fathers aren't growing up, I would challenge them to want to be a father that is present in the home, so that their kids have that identity.
law racism mind
I'M EMBARRASSED because the looting, violent protests, and law breaking only confirm, and in the minds of many, validate, the stereotypes and thus the inferior treatment.
law racism doubt
I'M FEARFUL because in the back of my mind I know that although I'm a law abiding citizen I could still be looked upon as a "threat" to those who don't know me. So I will continue to have to go the extra mile to earn the benefit of the doubt.
attitude real men
I'M FRUSTRATED, because pop culture, music and movies glorify these types of police citizen altercations and promote an invincible attitude that continues to get young men killed in real life, away from safety movie sets and music studios.
destiny entrepreneur want
You CAN be what you want to be. Whatever that is.
eye racism stories
I'M ANGRY because the stories of injustice that have been passed down for generations seem to be continuing before our very eyes.
skins problem sin
It's a sin problem, not a skin problem.
people focus path
Moral failure occurs when people lose focus and gradually drift off the path.
strong children father
When we look at our children, I think a lot of the troubles we're having as a society is because we don't have strong fathers in these families that can tell their kids that they can do more.
