Contrary to popular belief, Ignorant is not the new cool.

My first blog: Hi everyone, for those of you who don't know me, I'm David  Bass. I am an extremly caring person, with a HUGE heart. I am very passionate about a lot of things like: Children, Education and making sure that each child has a positive mother/father figure, whom they can go to about issues pertaining to life. As for me, I wasn't fortunate enough to have both parent's at home. However, my mother did all that she could, and even more, to make sure her only son  had everything he needed, and most of the time everything he wanted. For this i commend you mom.

One thing that really disgruntles me is, seeing a large number of our young brother's and sister's falling into what society has considered "THE TRAP." A lot of today's Hip-Hop artist speak of "THE TRAPP" in their music, but it seems as though they are advertising this way of life, as "THE WAY OF LIFE".  After debating with a few friends, who say that "for those people who live this life style, is not because they want to, they have no choice because it's all they know," I would have to disagree. Everyone has the opportunity to better themselves. However, you have to choose to take advantage of that opportunity, or you can choose to settle. As we all know, we are the pilot of our own destiny, and success come's from within.

I would like to know how other people feel own this issues, so feel free to comment, and express your feelings.

Thanks,

David

  1. I love this David! This is what I been trying to teach these lil boys I life coach. Ironically David, I actually started writing a book for young brothas that's basically going to be about this very thing. I commend you and loom forward to reading more of your posts.

  3. I'm not sure how old you are Bass, but this blog hit the spot. I work in a field where I get to speak to young black males all of the time. Of course I tell them this and I usually get to reach at least one a month. So, it's hard and it's possible. Keep up the good work.
