Pulling down some statue isn't gonna make your life better.
Making good decisions will.
Don't have a record before you are 16. Girls, don't get pregnant before marriage. Do your kids a favor and only have kids with someone who can be a father Do yourself a favor and finsh high school first.
Be able to pass a drug test.
Learn to speak decent english. If you are white it will help. If you are a minority, and can pair that with passing a drug test, you can go far. Add in a high school diploma and you will find a lot of places doing their best to hire you.
The above will do lightyears more to advance blacks in our society than tearing down a statue or renaming a street.
But it is hard to get a crowd of minorities to self reflect, innit?
