The drugs don't just take the dumb or bad ones - everyone eventually gets sucked in. Have you ever heard the story of your uncle?

What?!?! I didn't even know I had an uncle! What happened to him! What's going on?

One night, many years ago, your father and his brother were drunk. As your uncle was walking across the road, a bunch of drunk white men laughed and aimed the car right at him. They ended up crushing him, driving off into the moonlight.

Oh my god, why would someone ever do such a thing!!

Do you ever wonder why a certain darkness wraps around our neighborhood, engulfing and taking the lives of more and more black people?

Because, the society we live in is built in favor of the white people, and racism and discrimination against us is the centerpiece

Don't tell me it's the easily accessible and prevalent drugs...

Well that too, but I meant to say the vast racism that's keeping black neighborhoods from progressing. These issues facing our neighborhoods create a circle of sadness for our families and I don't want it to happen again.

Alright, I still find it hard to accept that these issues are so close to home that they could affect sonny, but I'll try my best to look out for him

I'm not telling this to make you afraid, it's sadly the truth. I want you to make sure even after I'm gone that you'll protect Sonny from any harm that comes his way.

I just don't want your kids to lose out on an uncle as you have. It's time this circle of danger ends.
