Dear black boys, when God created man, as in humans, He created you first.

There’s an order to the way God established things. He made you first. He made you to be the leader, and he made women as your helper. Without this order in our community and in our homes, the black family is destroyed. I don’t need to say it here the tragedy that has become the black family. Our communities are filled with poverty, drugs, violence, and fatherless homes, all of which lead to broken girls, and boys who never learn how to be men. Because we have been ignorant, we have not protected ourselves from the attacks on the black family. They know if they can destroy you, they can destroy a whole race.

Black boys, we need you.

We depend on you.

You are the healing balm, we desperately need.

You are the healing salve, the ointment, the comfort, that our community needs.
