Are Many Black People Volunteering Themselves for Slavery?
I recently had a conversation with a young man I mentor. The poor guy was just 22 years old, and had impregnated four women in four years.  He was uneducated, unemployed and living with his mother.  I could not help but see this man’s future and all the stress he’d created for himself. ‘LIKE’ NewsOne’s FB Page To Stay Up On Black News From Around The World I then thought about another young woman I mentor who’d done the same thing, except she was the one choosing to sleep with enough men to give her four kids of her own by the age of 22. She too was “four-for-four,†with four kids, by four men, in four years. Also, she was living with her mother, on welfare, with no job and no education.

hell yea! and the sad part is either they dont know it, or they think of slavery as one big cotton field! everytime a black male commits a crime, and sent to do hard time they sign of to be a slave. this system is why most of the time the pnishment doesnt fit the crime, now im not tlkn proven convicted child beaters, ab_sers and rapist killers etc.. im tlkn petty crimes pan handlin dope dealers,etc.. other things that will take to long to mention. we think( or some)the way we act the things we do the hate we show to each other is trendy and sylish, NOT! we might as well be bent over in a field somewhere, the state of mind were in now more than ever is sad embarrasin and scary”
