From the Eyes of a Black Man Part.1

When the lens is tinted with Melanin you see life differently.

 

 

This conversation was sparked by Juneteenth but the truth is a black man’s view on the world will be different from any other race.  As a result of day to day racism, associated poverty, Injustice, environment, and expectations.  These factors and many more has a major impact on  black men in the U.S.   It affects their health(mental and physical) and creates blocked opportunities more than any other race no matter of their income bracket or social standing.  The pressure that a black man deals with on a daily basis for just having melanin in his skin makes him 66% more likely to experience day to day discrimination than any other race.   Which would of course makes how he view the world and his tactics for survival different.  The host Mil Ivory wanted to speak to some of our black kings and have a conversation about it. She felt as if this was a much needed conversation.  Although, it was a powerful conversation and we touched on a lot we barely scratched  the surface!  However a scratch in the surface may be what we need to disrupt the pattern.
