My name is Enoch Hagans and I am a Black man of Jewish descent who has struggled with racial issues my entire life. Recently, I observed the increased attacks upon our Black male youths by the police and other elements and tools of the federal, state and local governments to be disturbing. Read the following stats below: (1) A Black Male is 8 times more likely to be in prison than a white person. (2) One in four Black men will enter prison at least once, compared to only one in 23 white males having the same experience. (3) The USDOJ estimates that 28.5 percent of Black men are expected to serve a state or federal prison sentence. (4) The United States Department of Justice, Black males currently constitute 12 percent of the national population but 44 percent of the prison population. (5) Almost half of Black men never graduate from High School. (6) The number one cause of death for Black males between the ages of 15-25 is a (violent death) murder. These stats do-not lie, our future is dying and we must address this critical fact! Our youth are our future and right now our future looks bleak! This manual will assist our Black male youth to succeed in life. My Father and Mother provided these sayings and guide points as a standard to follow in good times and bad. Reading these principles of life gave me something to hold on to because it is a war out there that is designed to ensnare our youth with drugs, jail violence and prison.
