Bad Boys 4 Life

Racism has become an epidemic but has often been portrayed as a illusion by those in positions of power. But racism exist and permeates throughout every facet of human society. In the article "Bad Boys" its painfully evident how racism as infiltrated our academic institutions. I make no excuse for the inappropriate behavior children exhibit while they are in school but this behavior is simple by product of transitioning from being an adolescent to becoming an adult. How naive is it for "white teachers" who teach within our urban communities to attribute stigmas to children of color, specifically young men as degenerates who essentially posses no ability to give forth any positive contributions as patrons of our society. Teachers that we have entrusted to educate, inspire, and watcher over our youth have become perpetrators and perpetuator social and economical inequality. Teachers who do care after years of conditioning become withdrawn and jaded, while the majority simply show up to recieve a paycheck. Its become a never ending cycle, the psychological and emotional damage inflicted on many of these young males will ripple throughout their lives. How go you expect these young men to strive for a better future when you have stripped him of all his hopes, dreams and aspirations and labeled him a failure? Why does it frustrate you when he doesnt believe in himself ?, when clearly you have no faith him. Why do you condemn this young male for not having the ability to raise above his circumstances and believe he can achieve more only after he has circum to the wrapped ideology you have instilled in him day in and day out.

But as A Bad Boy Im here Ive made it this far and I dont plan to go anywhere .. so how you like me now?
