Lebron or Lil Wayne

What examples are we setting for young black boys? It seems that the limited models that guide black boys on their roadtrip to manhood are disturbing. Making certain black men deities in our communities is dangerous to young black boys. In a society that marginalizes and ignores blackness on a mass scale to only praise certain figures whether consciously or sub-consciously, is problematic. It sends the message that, if our boys don't aspire or reach these heights, then they have failed. It creates an environment where there is no support if they fall short. We must move away from the idolization of stars for the sake of our youth.
