I knew I wanted to create a new blog but I wasn't sure if I wanted it to concentrate on politics or black issues. MSNBC on the the television and up pops a homevideo of toddlers smoking pot with their family members. Kids with pot in their mouths and their 17-year old uncle with the cigartette lighters making it possible. I'm assuming these kids aren't smoking pot because they have Alzheimer's, glaucoma, AIDS or cancer.
So that sealed it. I knew I wanted to talk about people who look like me. Now whether they act like me is a different matter all together. I constantly talk about the struggles blacks have to face in order to succeed but our biggest battle is against those who look just like us--and I don't mean Armstrong Williams, Alan Keyes and Clarence Thomas.
What a warped a mind someone must have to stick a marijuana joint in the mouth of a child and tell them to light up. Thats just great, screw them up before they have a chance. You can debate the issue of whether pot is a dangerous drug but thats not the point. Put pot in a kid's mouth at 2 and 5 and you don't think thats going to lead to more drugs and deviant behavior? Hell, on the pace they are on they will be smoking crack at 8 and having sex at 9.
And I'm hard pressed to believe the family doesn't know this 17-year old is a bad example around kids.
