The Double D's of Destruction: How Our Distracted And Desensitized Consciousness Is Destroying Our Communities And Failing Our Children

In our nation s inner cities, with predominate African American and Hispanic populations; we have become too comfortable with the destructive forces that are slowly destroying our families and communities. Our focus on trying to either make ends meet and/or satisfying our desires to compensate for our hurts and insecurities with material goods has taken our attention off our children. In order to break free, we must recognize that we are both distracted from and desensitized to the things plaguing our communities and only we are in the position to wake up. The Double D s of Destruction speaks to the root of these issues and how we can overcome our own numbness in an effort to take back our communities. There is no way that we can truly heal our communities if we have yet to allow for healing in our own personal lives.
