Media describes black teenage boys as men?

What's your thoughts on this video?

Was it wrong for these two 17 and 18 year old teenage boys announced as "men" to do what they did? Of course it was wrong, but let's not forget that they are still children themselves not men which the media repeatedly announces them as. The media expects these boys to behave as a grown and responsible man.

Plus it doesn't help the already tarnished image of young black men. It appears that along with the NY POST newspaper there are still very ignorant people who live in America regardless if it's 2009 and our president is BLACK.

Is it fair for the media to do this? What are your thoughts? Please leave comments below.

This is a new blog I plan to update weekly.

Video of my son Teddy performing his song and in college

This song performed in this video is called "Christians Get Down" by Yung Fresh a.k.a. Teddy featuring Tanisha Renee Brown. It's a powerful song with a hot beat and great lyrics.


At the end of the video there's a clip of Teddy at Nyack College. He just recently passed of his classes during his 1st semester of college and now he's working on his 2nd semester. Although he's happy to be in college. It's like a sweet and sour experience because he misses his family at home while he lives on campus.

Here's some pics from our Florida Vacation to Disney World.

My son will be home tomorrow from the hospital

It's been 3 weeks since JD was hospitalized due to being excessively absent from school. Unfortunately I was totally unaware of the fact that he was being marked absent from school and it wasn't till it was too late to address the issue that he was hospitalized. Being that he's in foster care his social workers decided to hospitalize him so that he can be re-evaluated. The hospital changed his medication and say they have seen improvements in his behavior since then.

We are looking forward to JD returning home and hope that he will do better in school. Please prayer for him. Stay tuned to hear about his improvements in the future.
