Conversations with Dray

Older father's in society

For years society has told women that  their clock is running out or you better have that baby now because you're not getting any younger .  But many men have heard from other men saying you not missing anything and ooh it's stressful and the the  cost to support a child is overwhelming. Now that I was in my late 30's when I had my first son and in my 40s when I had my second son, however, I was 19 when I had my first child so I have seen it from both sides.  Here is my take on older fathers in this episode of "Conversations with Dray."

What happens when a police officer pulls you over for a traffic stop? Does your heart start beating fast because you don't know what is going to happen? Do you think about being arrested or worse that you might not survive?   I talk about driving while black at a traffic stop, today on Conversations with Dray. As a black man, what we goes through to get mentally prepared when we gets pulled over and the things we have to think about in order to just survive a traffic stop.

People say that people of color and/or people living in poverty do it to themselves, that we are the problem.  But many times the people we are suppose to trust and who we believe will give us a fair shot are the very ones doing us wrong. They are not in the right frame of mind and they don't give us an even playing field. On today's episode we talk about police and drugs, killer female cop and affirmative action. Listen in as we get right too it.

With increasing number of children committing suicide reports, we have to start wonder why this is happening. What has become so bad in a child's life that they would even consider committing suicide, let alone to actually commit to doing it. Why are our children dying? Maybe it's because of us.  We need to talk about.
