My mom worked 3 jobs since I was 6 years old to keep a roof over our heads.
Dad left before I was born and was never heard from again.
I started selling weed in 5th grade.
Moved up to harder drugs, by 14 I had been to jail (juvi) twice.
At what point and time will your people stop pulling the race card? You would think that after your 'negro fuhrer' obama became elected, this reverse racism and oppression would stop. Yet situations like the 'negro college fund', black entertainment, MLK (I refer to as James Earl Ray Day; which we celebrate) or your subject on how its 'hard being black in america' - persist?
Good job on separating yourself from the rest of the animals, and all the power to your mother for doing something legit though.
