Identity theft happens every 2 seconds in the world. A vehicle accident happens every minute around the world too. Men think about sexual activity roughly every hour. During this Black History Month we have to be more aware of who’s using our identities and be able to protect it. Over 40 percent of black people are using credit card debt to cover basic expenses like groceries, rent, and utility bills. The black middle class statistically has lower credit scores than their white counterparts too. The rapper Jay-Z had very bad credit but it took a lot of bars for him to get out of that. Insurance premiums for blacks are 70 percent higher than those for whites. Blacks cannot get distracted while driving at all even if they’re listening to Chris Tucker’s radio (laughs). Moreover, black families are broken up more than ever numerically and there is a historically high amount of single mothers. Like the gospel song says ‘we need thee oh we need thee’ God is always able. If one of the most sexually suggestive singers, in my opinion, Pleasure P can tie the knot you can too. He’s a good example for how men can overcome dicey desires and start to live a godly life. Rev. Jesse Jackson had a problem keeping his pants up away from his wife. Bishop Eddie Long had trouble with his britches around minor-aged boys as well. Billy Graham’s grandson who’s a minister too had an issue with his trousers too around women. We shouldn’t scorn the previously mentioned people. We should learn from their direct experiences how to shun shortcomings and pitfalls that they made with their families. You need solid credit to get a home. You need a vehicle to see your family members and friends. You need to learn how to control your sexual impulses to be a principled parent. You don’t have to have financial credit like Russell Simmons, have sensual outings with as many women as Wilt Chamberlain claimed he did, have a luxury vehicle issued to you by the taxpayer like many of our country’s elected officials. All you need to do is to have an auspicious attitude and have a sober mind with your behavior. Your faith in God will handle the rest.
