Tagging and loitering in a drug-free zone. That's crazy. But this is real. You know what I'm saying? And I remember they would have all these meetings. And I talked to my mother about this because even at school, because I ended up getting kicked out of school in seventh grade, ended up going to a military school in eighth grade. What did you do in seventh grade? What did you do for that?

That one was actually pretty justified. That was everything from skipping class to fights to there was an incident with a smoke bomb. It was bad. That one actually was probably pretty deserved. The handcuffs were not. The kicked out of school probably wasn't. But I say that because they would have all these meetings.

And I remember talking to my mom about it, where I was like, there are all these people are meeting about me without me. Like they're talking about me. But never once did anyone ever ask me, what is going on? Because the thing is, if they did, I might have actually told them. But there was never an interest to actually ask me, what is up with the anger? Why are you constantly getting into fights?

Why are you not showing up to school? That this was almost like you're dealing with me like I'm a problem that has to be fixed, but not like I'm an asset. And not like I actually had a say in this. And I think that's what happened.

That is what happened with a lot of culture when it comes to men and particularly black men, men of color, et cetera, young boys, et cetera, where we're just like, we're not being part of the conversation. We're just subjects of the conversation. And I remember... I was at a barbershop once, and my son actually goes to the same barbershop that I went to when I used to have to get haircuts.

So my son goes in and out, and I remember hearing this conversation that we were having. And someone said something really interesting, because they were talking about all the supports that are happening for black women. And one of the guys is a barber who actually is the I think is I think is three girls. And so he's a real girl dad and all the kind of stuff.

And he's like, but he's like, listen, I'm all for all the things that are happening to support my daughters. But he said, I just do not want black girl magic to turn into black boy tragic. And I thought that was such an interesting way of phrasing this out. It's almost like society stopped caring. And society now deals with this issue of young men and boys as just a problem.
