Every human being, when given over to the devil, is sure to have the wizard mark upon his hand, in one form or another. Being a black man, in America, is not easy. In many cases, it is like you have no rights. You work hard, go to school, attend college, and people still want to profile you, slander you and label you as a criminal, in some cases, to the point that you are blacklisted, but have done nothing wrong. And when you do make it, and show how talented and skillful you are, sometime factions develop in the office, to work against you. They will talk about you, call you horrible names and tell people bad things about you that are just not true. They will call you a dog, so you seem less human and makes them feel more comfortable insulting you, but they would never really treat a dog as bad as they treat black men. Some of these people even go as far as trying to set you up and make themselves look like a victim, so you can be arrested. And they will even steal from you and physically attack you, but the police do nothing about it. When you come from a middle-class background and have never had to struggle, but find yourself not having the thing you want, or need because others have made it impossible for you to live the life you want it can be frustrating. You have an expensive car, with expensive repair bills, you need new clothes and work so hard and want to take vacations—not just get buy, working harder than others, and see them doing less work, but making more than you. It just is not right, but as a black man, society works against you. No one defends you or stands up for your rights, and others will always look at you as a criminal, even if you are not.

Cold and nakedness are evils introduced by luxury and custom. I really do not like to address cultural issues, but there is a major call for justice, in America right now. Too many young black teens and young men keep being shot and killed by the police. It is estimated that every 28 hours, a black man is killed by police or vigilantes. Most recently, on 9th August 2014, Michael Brown, and unarmed black teenager was shot dead by police. He was shot four times in the arm and twice in the head, which is really tragic and said. This murder has caused uproars in America. People are sick and tired of black men being profiled, and killed and treated like dirt and denied employment just because of the color of their skin. Not too long ago, Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager was shot dead by a vigilante, just for walking home from the store. Many parents are afraid that their young black man will be killed just because someone does not like his appearance. And some are wondering why police and others seem to like to kill black men. Well, part of it is genocide, a lot of people fear powerful black men and want to bring as many of them down, as possible, before they become strong, powerful and wealthy leaders. Others truly fear black men, and do not value their lives. Some police are really scared of black men, especially when they do not have backup, so if they see a black man moving a certain way, they get scared and shoot because the police think their lives are in danger. It is also possible that several police are working and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.

All police experience dangerous situations in their careers, sometimes on the daily basis. For some, they are able to brush the encounters off and move on, and need help and are not getting the help they need, so many police officers are going to work scared, and with shell shock. When in danger, it is natural to feel fear; however, people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are in a way broke and cannot properly respond to critical situations. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that is prompted by a frightening event that the individual either experienced it or witnessed. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety, helplessness, or extreme fear, as well as uncontrollable thoughts about the event, having little or no social support after the event. When this happens, a person may feel that their life is in danger and will take you out, instead of waiting around to find out if their feelings are justified or irrational. PTSD affects about 7.7 million American adults, but it can occur at any age, including childhood. The bottom-line is that racism is out of control in American and more people, especially those who deal with the public need to take classes on cultural relations and communications so they can learn how to react to each other’s. Still, many people will say that most crimes are committed by black people, and that is just not true. You are 66 percent more likely to be attacked by a white man. Most wars, which kill millions or people, are started by white men, most white-collar criminals are white men. This does not mean that white men are bad, or black men are, it just says that our system is out of balance. You do not know, for you could never learn it from your own heart, which is all purity and rectitude, what a mixture of good there may be in things evil; and how the greatest criminal, if you look at his conduct from his point of view, or from any side point, may seem not so unquestionably guilty, after all. We are never nearer to evil than when we believe a person is incapable of wrongdoing.
