About me: Black males are being imprisoned at an alarming and unprecedented rate. Out of the now more than 11 million Black adult males in the U.S. population, nearly 1.5 million are in prisons and jails with another 3.5 million more on probation or parole or who have previously been on probation or parole. Black males make up the majority of the total prison population, and due to either present or past incarceration is the most socially disenfranchised group of American citizens in the country today. The book "WHY ARE SO MANY BLACK MEN IN PRISON?" details the author’s personal story of a negligent upbringing in an impoverished community, his subsequent engagement in criminal activity (drug dealing), his incarceration, and his release from prison and experiencing of the crippling social disenfranchisement that comes with being an ex-felon. The author then relates his personal experiences and realizations to the seminal problems within the African-American community, federal government, and criminal justice system that cause his own experiences to be the same experiences of millions of other young Black men.
4/28/08 - I have released my second book, which is a guide for Black men who are newly released from prison, entitled "GETTING OUT & STAYING OUT: A Black Man's Guide to Success After Prison" in April '08. I felt that this guide was needed because no one has ever published any information on how to survive in society after prison from a Black man's perspective strictly. Black men have a unique reality in America, and so does the Black male ex-felon vs. the non-Black male ex-felon. This short but succinct guidebook will give incarcerated and newly freed young Black men simple but relevant advice on what to do while in prison as well as when they come home in order to remain free and never go back to prison again, and also on relevant issues of concern to the Black community like fatherlessness, Black on Black crime, ignorance, and relationships..
My third book is co-authored with Mr. Michael Oryan Obama, and is entitled "THE TOP 25 THINGS BLACK FOLKS DO THAT WE NEED TO STOP!!!" and will be released on 1/02/09. "THE TOP 25 THINGS BLACK FOLKS DO THAT WE NEED TO STOP!!! A Breakdown and Analysis of 25 Self-Perpetuated Issues that Adversely Affect the African-American Community". Published January 5, 2009 by Full Surface Publishing Llc. 248 pages.
Description: THE TOP 25 THINGS BLACK FOLKS DO THAT WE NEED TO STOP!!! is a compilation of acute intellectual censure of certain longstanding belief systems, traditions, and activities that many African-Americans have held and practiced, both historically and presently. In this critical and very well articulated thesis, the authors specify and expound upon 25 problematic issues that are adversely affecting blacks in America. Intended to be a wake up call for Black America, this book is sure to generate not just awareness but also inspiration for what many believe is overdue collective contemplation and self-correction within communities of color all across the nation.

The trick is to stay focused on what you want to happen and let go of what you do not... cuz if you keep seeing things as they are, convincing yourself that you "have to" because that's reality, then it will always be your reality. want to change? it's as simple as changing the who, what, how, why and when of what you look at and FOCUS on... DAILY :)
Tankism #25 Have a great week :) PS: see if you can "see" the picture below. It's pretty cool...
CHANCE has never yet satisfied the hope of a suffering people.
Action,self-reliance,the vision of self and the future have been the
only means by which the oppressed have seen and realized the light of
their own freedom.
