This young American grade-schooler correctly observed, "The people put on death-row are the people who hardly have anything, people who hardly have families." As this youngster matures into a peaceful, educated American citizen, my hope is he will recognize the UNJUST HUMAN OPPRESSION responsible for far too many American children growing up WITHOUT the love, caring and concern of RESPONSIBLE primary caretakers who place the EMOTIONAL WELL BEING of their child(ren) ABOVE ALL ELSE!!! Does the late Tupac Shakur, a popular American recording artist and victim of *Childhood Trauma, Abuse & Neglect*, offer a reasonable explanation for why significant numbers of American children are being impeded from maturing into reasonably responsible, well-adjusted American teens and adults who become scientists, educators and leaders? *Tupac Addresses African American Child Abuse/Neglect* Sadly, beginning at birth, significant numbers of American newborns, infants, toddlers, children and teens experience OUR nation's # ONE HEALTH DISEASE known as "Childhood Trauma", which far too often seriously impedes their development for maturing into teens and adults who become responsible citizens, parents and leaders. Sadly, a significant population of American children are INTENTIONALLY, IGNORANTLY or RECKLESSLY introduced to what the late American recording artist and *Childhood Trauma/Abuse/Neglect* victim Tupac Shakur describes as "Thug Life", an acronym for *"The Hate U Give Little Infants Fvvks Everyone".* ~Tupac on T.H.U.G. L.I.F.E. “We don’t need no more rappers, we don’t need no more basketball players, no more football players. We need more thinkers. We need more scientists. We need more managers. We need more mathematicians. We need more teachers." *"We need more people who care; you know what I’m saying? We need more women, mothers, fathers, we need more of that*, we don’t need any more entertainers.“ ~Tupac Shakur Tupac was well aware that not only are American kids being UNJUSTLY OPPRESSED and DEPRIVED from experiencing their full human potential, Tupac realized OUR NATION is being deprived of enjoying the potential achievements offered to ALL Americans by reasonably well adjusted kids maturing into responsible teens and adults who care about the future of OUR Nation. Tupac is not alone in recognizing who was primarily responsible for neglecting his hungry belly, as well as depriving his mind from feeling safe, cared for and loved. A growing number of concerned Americans are publishing videos and creating webpages specifically identifying WHO they believe is responsible for harming the image of peaceful, responsible African Americans as well as UNJUSTLY OPPRESSING significant numbers of American newborns, infants, toddlers, children and teens, depriving OUR nation's children from experiencing a SAFE, fairly or wonderfully happy American kid childhood. https://knutesniche.wordpress.com/2015/11/13/video-archive-american-men-women-sharing-thoughts-about-some-african-american-women-moms/ How many more generations of supposedly caring, loving, concerned, compassionate Americans will *KEEP THEIR MOUTHS SHUT* while witnessing VIOLENCE and other anti-social behaviors committed by depressed, angry, frustrated, unpredictable, sometimes suicidal *(NY Times May 18, 2015 - Rise in Suicide by Black Children Surprises Researchers)* teens and adults full of rage and resentment for being introduced to a childhood of pain & struggle by grossly immature maternal caregivers who *WILLFULLY IGNORE* their parental responsibility and duty to their children, as well as their moral, ethical and societal obligation & duty to their neighbors and community to place the emotional well being of their children *ABOVE ALL ELSE!!* Heeding Tupac's words, as well as the thoughts and concerns shared by Americans who felt compelled to record and share their concerns with our world, will NO DOUBT result with more happy children maturing into reasonably peaceful, responsible teens and adults caring about the well being of others. It is time to end "America's War on Poverty," correctly renaming our Nation's expanding social disorder and # ONE HEALTH CRISIS known as CHILDHOOD TRAUMA, to *"America's War on Childhood Abuse, Neglect & Maltreatment"* I'm sorry to pick on moms, though since ancient times they are the primary caregivers we look to keep us safe, cared for and loved right from our start. Peace. ____ 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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsCNuB_KBUw At 2:12:25 in this documentary about Mafia hit-man and victim of Early Childhood Trauma/Abuse, Richard "The Iceman" Kuklinski, Dr. Park Dietz explains why young 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. https://youtu.be/QXgi72W2H7U?t=2h12m25s ____ *(NY Times May 18, 2015 - Rise in Suicide by Black Children Surprises Researchers)* Black Women, Suicide, Depression, Self Harm & Mental Health; PSA from Abiola Abrams https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4T_Jbx62zA Kendrick Lamar Talks About ‘u,’ His Depression & Suicidal Thoughts (Pt. 2) MTV Video News April 2015 https://knutesniche.files.wordpress.com/2016/03/kendrick_lamar_violence_gangs_mental_illness_005.jpg https://knutesniche.files.wordpress.com/2016/04/american_woc_regrets_sons_upbringing.jpg https://knutesniche.files.wordpress.com/2016/04/tupac_oppression_childhood_trauma-abuse05.jpg https://knutesniche.files.wordpress.com/2016/03/azealia_banks_screen1.jpg ____ American *(Children's)* Lives Matter; Take Pride In Parenting; *End Our National Epidemic of Child Abuse and Neglect*; End Community Violence, Police Fear & Educator's Frustrations Tagged: Jamyla Bolden, Tyshawn Lee, Julie Dombo Less
