Hello. The
"white privilege" I've enjoyed throughout my life is living in mostly peaceful communities where all my neighbors, as well as their children fall asleep at bedtime counting sheep, Gummy Bears or my personal favorite, thatched wooden baskets filled with Newfoundland puppies.
It was not until the 80s when I became a Brooklyn, NY cop that I discovered my ignorance, learning not all my American neighbors enjoy this privilege.
Sadly, during the twelve years I served young
Shawn "Jay Z" Carter and the late Christopher "The Notorious Big" Wallace's Brooklyn community, I learned significant numbers of my peaceful American neighbors and their children fall asleep at any time of day or night often dealing with stress, anxiety as well as
FEAR for their family's and friend's safety while counting nearby or distant gunshots. :fact:

I would love for all my peaceful, reasonably responsible American neighbors to enjoy this privilege.

I am curious to learn how many Americans are aware of the late popular American urban story-TRUTH-teller Tupac Shakur's
Child Abuse and Emotional Maltreatment *AWARENESS* concept?
Does the late American urban story-truth-teller Tupac Shakur offer a reasonable explanation for why significant numbers of American children are being impeded, hampered or prevented from maturing into reasonably responsible, well-adjusted American teens and adults who become scientists, engineers, business owners, educators and leaders?
Does Tupac offer a reasonable explanation for why Americans of African descent are being impeded from experiencing the equality and respect all peaceful, reasonably responsible Americans are entitled to enjoy?
How many of my American neighbors are familiar with American urban story-TRUTH-teller Tupac Shakur's (often misinterpreted) #T_H_U_G_L_I_F_E Child Abuse, Emotional Neglect, Abandonment and Maltreatment
*AWARENESS* concept:
"The Hate U Give Little Infants Fvvks Everyone" ~Tupac Shakur
"We need more people who care; you know what I'm saying? We need more women, mothers, fathers, we need more of that..." ~Tupac Shakur
TUPAC EXPLAINS HIS 'T.H.U.G.L.I.F.E.' CHILD ABUSE *AWARENESS* CONCEPT
Tupac, an admitted emotionally ill adult who loudly spoke about experiencing childhood abuse and maltreatment during a critical period of human/childhood development, intelligently recognized not only are American kids being UNJUSTLY OPPRESSED, IMPEDED and DEPRIVED from experiencing their full human potential, as well as a SAFE, fairly or wonderfully happy American kid childhood...
...Tupac realized OUR NATION is being deprived of enjoying the potential achievements offered to ALL Americans by fairly or wonderfully happy kids maturing into reasonably responsible teens and adults caring about the future of OUR Nation, and the welfare of their peaceful, as well as less fortunate neighbors.
I believe Tupac correctly recognized Americans need to change the name of our “War On Poverty”, to “America’s Firm Resolve to End Childhood Abuse, Emotional Neglect and Maltreatment.”
Unlike Mr. Barack
“My Brother’s Keeper” Obama and his presidential predecessors, I am hopeful our new president Renegade Republican Donald Trump will recognize improving the Quality of Life for our American neighbors of African descent begins with addressing HEALTH issues related to proper childhood care and environments.
I believe Mr. Trump should take meaningful
ACTION to protect from harm our Nation's most precious and cherished assets by placing an emphasis on
EDUCATION about proper child care, as well as stepping up enforcement of
Child Safety & Protection laws which will eventually lead to fewer depressed, unhappy, emotionally neglected/abandoned American kids...
...maturing into angry, frustrated teens and young adults full or half full of rage and resentment for irresponsibly being introduced to an emotionally and/or physically abusive childhood fraught with pain, struggles, torment, uncertainty, frustration,
FEAR, demeaning government handouts, resentment, depression, sorrow, sadness, disappointment and hardships.
:Childhood Trauma!:
Unfortunately, before he discovered how to properly promote his #T_H_U_G_L_I_F_E Child Abuse
*AWARENESS* concept, Tupac was brutally murdered by
OTHER emotionally or mentally ill victims of America's Culture of African American Child Abuse, Neglect and Emotional Maltreatment.
___
Not only I am asking Mr. Trump to take meaningful ACTION protecting and preventing American kids from experiencing a potentially life-scarring, traumatic childhood...
...I am asking my American neighbors to
RECOGNIZE and embrace the fact our imperfect human species will continue evolving, learning day by day about our human condition and physical world, slowly shedding our human ignorance and adapting as we continue plodding along trying to improve the
Quality of Life for all human beings!

My friends, during the 80s-90s I spent the first twelve years of my police career as a Brooklyn, NY cop, robbery and death investigator regularly witnessing significant numbers of newborns, infants, toddlers, children and teens, through no fault of their own experiencing a potentially life-scarring medical Disease/Condition known to medical doctors and researchers as
"Childhood Trauma."
"Childhood Trauma" is a REAL Disease/Condition affecting far too many American kids and teens who far too often develop into emotionally damaged teens and adults lacking empathy, compassion and respect for their peaceful neighbors because they believe their lives suck so why shouldn't other people's lives suck too!!!
Much like Tupac I'm sorry to pick on moms, though since ancient times they are the primary caregivers we look to keep us
SAFE, protected, cared for and loved right from our start.
Peace.

*Are you familiar with America's current National Health Crisis?*
Doctors Ross and Dietz offer insights into how our Early Childhood Development plays a key role in determining the type of individual we mature into.
Robert K. Ross, MD, President and CEO of The California Endowment, addressed inmates at Ironwood State Prison offering a compelling overview of the role that exposure to
*Childhood Trauma* plays in the lives of *Emotionally Troubled* and chronically ill American teens and
ADULTS.
Speaking with Mafia hit-man and victim of Early Criminal Childhood Trauma/Abuse Richard "The Iceman" Kuklinski, Dr. Park Dietz explains why Richard most likely developed into a emotionally disturbed, paranoid, cruel, heartless teen and man who did not give a frig about anyone else, including his wife and kids.
