"Anger a Real-Time Problem"

Really, what is anger? Well Webster’s defines it as a strong feeling of displeasure and belligerence. The sub part to that is to make or become angry, feeling or showing anger, and lastly becoming angry or dangerous. But it is a real problem in the black community, and an issue between our families. If you think back to when you were a child in the 40’s, and 50’s our parents did get mad or angry, but it was not displayed publicly. It was a form of disagreement that was done behind closed doors, and away from children. Now days it is done anywhere, and not caring who hears it or what is seen. The reality is that our children see it and remember it very vividly. As our children grow into the 2000’s anger has become a big problem in America. Take a look at the murder rate, which stems from small, and tiny bits of anger. Anger starts in the home and breeds out into the neighborhood, and openly walks into our schools. Now anger is at another level, and is very difficult to diffuse and is implanted in the person. Once it is implanted in the person, it is very hard to pull or get to the root of the problem, which created it. Sometimes it is the smallest thing that will trigger an episode of anger for some of us. For others it takes a build-up of things in life to reach it’s peak. Unfortunately, some of us never reach a place to vent, and we hold on to things for years and never understand how to deal with anger. Yes, we all have anger, but it is how you deal with it. Many of us do not know how to deal with anger, and we prolong it until it is too late. If you look at our children they have plenty of anger, but you must understand why. They enter this world and become embattled with so many problems and devices, and most of all they feel that they are not loved. Many of the problems are not there fault, but they are inherited thru the change of day-to-day life. God had placed our children here for us to be good stewards to them, but many times our parents have failed due to life’s pressures. A lot of life’s pressures have created anger in our parents, which then flows down to our children. Our children in part there anger to the streets with the use of drugs, guns, and just plainly calling their selves being mean. They start to loose the love of the family and close friends. They are angry a lot of times because life does not go there way, or by not getting the things that they want. Anger comes from some of the things that our children invest, and put interest in. They are angry from disappointment, and feeling alone with no help or love. We as a people have to learn how to deal with anger, and form individual ways to diffuse anger according to the person that has the issues. Anger is a very big disease for Black American’s and we have to put a cap on it.
