These Young Black Men Offer Incredible Perspective On Growing Up Black In America

by N/A, 9 years ago | 1 min read

The New York Times published a deeply moving a video featuring several young black men talking about their lives as young POC in the USA. The video is beautiful, but at times deeply tragic.Â

The video captures the real travesty that is race relations in America right now. Black people are still being discriminated against in a large way, and a way that is supported by the infrastructure of the US justice system. Often profound truth comes from the mouths of babes...let's listen to them now.Â

Here is the video. Make sure you watch, and listen, up until the last second.

Each quote reveals a moment of injustice these young men have experienced.

It's time to stop ignoring the issue of racism.

When young people like this have to feel ostracized in their own schools...classrooms...neighborhoods...

We need to WAKE UP. And we need to start changing.

Something is wrong.
