Stop being so [optimistic] and get [realistic]

The Story:

I was working on a few documents for Ms. Yvonne Hawks, Criminal Lawyer and President of NAACP, in the NAACP office becuase hte internet was down in the legal office. As I was typing and cruising Facebook. Her Marketing Manager, Mr. Calvin, walked in. I told him Id be out of his way in a sec. He told me to take my time. So as I was taking my time I decided to ignite a conversation with him. With him having rank in the NAACP and me being a person that has never been big on "Fight the power", I tried to take a different approach of the topics ahead. We began conversing and we had the same beliefs...that the reason we are reaching a state of despairity in our society is becuase the youth aren't educated about their past. Therefore they dont appreciate it and dont know who they are. They look to find themselves in the streets or in television set then consequently,corrupt their minds and subsequently corrupt their community. Thats the reason why we have more negative leaders than we do positive leaders. Thats everyone has a pessimistic heart but optimistic eyes when it comes to the future. Becuase WE are the future.

As the conversation got deeper I found out the main target of the Dekalb County Branch of the NAACP. . .to rebuild the morality and rewire the mindsets of our youth(african american of coarse). [I should have brought up N.W.F., but I was focused on the conversation] Thats when I paid my membership fee and enrolled. He said "it would be great to have you around...you seem like a good guy." I told him that " Im no Clark Kent, But I do want to save our society."

He gave me the nod.

And I accepted the call of duty.

. . . .But I cant do this alone, If you have read this far, you have the same propensity towards the advancement of our people, differences aside, by targeting our youth...Its going to take
Paideia ...Lets fight for the advancement of all youth. Lets raise the status quo for our African American youth. . . . .Its simple math.

NWF + NAACP = A brighter future......join the movement.
