Confessions of a Black Male



How do you feel when you get in your car for a normal ride to run errands for the family? Ideally, you should make this quick journey with no fret of your eventual return. But as a black male, nothing we do, not do, or perceived have done is viewed like another male on the planet. Our ordinary is not ordinary. Our lives are always threaten while performing the simplest of task.  Is it of a fault of our own? Is it a curse or is it a blessing in disguise? However it is, it’s a feeling that the black male has daily no matter his socioeconomic, educational level, geographic location, or even chronological age. The only proven way to escape has been through our eventual demise. A concept we don’t willing run to, but unconsciously have succumbed to.

    As a black male, I have lived with the internal adage of not becoming another statistic that will negatively effect my brothers all over the world. Every robbing spree, drug bust, championship, domestic violence, murder, election, or scandal where the leading character is a black male, all of us are subjected to that positive or negative badge. Even if we have the misunderstanding that we have so -called escaped because we have attained some level of success as an individual, it is impossible to escape what you are linked to by fate.

    Now what! In the quiet of our being, we must understand who and what we are individually and collectively. Now what do we do about it. In this book, Confessions of a Black Male, we will have a candid conversation to begin the dialogue that is necessary for our existence, sustenance, and success.
