      @@mrs.berniemadoff3324 Mrs Bernie I think she's trying to convey that black boys and men think they always have to be tough given the environment they come from. This is the plight that black & brown males face. that's not taking away any issues from any other race. She was just commenting on a issue (the inability to cry) that impacts the males in our community

    A very inspiring story. I am 3'years older than Charlie. I remember the Gap Band. I loved their music, but I knew nothing about his life until now. I've heard of "management" robbing artists and holding them captive. I've heard of celebrities losing their grip on life due to drug addiction, Few stories end this well. God bless everyone involved in the making of his recovery. I am filled with joy right now. I will buy his book because I want to know all about it.

      Chris Evans my man was working minimum wage jobs and we were barely getting by between the two of us and he kept saying he wanted a career but school was going to take too long, so i looked into him getting his CDL and he went away to train for it, i supported him a hundred percent, now he's making bank and thanks me at least twice a week for being supportive and pushing him to do better for himself and his family. Couldn't be prouder of him because he stands taller and is proud of himself finally.

  • @scheenafarmer3979
    @scheenafarmer3979 Před 6 lety +9

    I appreciate Uncle Charlie's story because he reminds me of my brothers who was also on drugs in the past. They tried to do better and there were times when they were motivated enough to make some changes that caused them to be better but when things got difficult they would backslide. They went to jail for crimes some petty and some I never knew why. They just like my children and myself did not have the support. What I did thought was tried not to repeat what I saw at that time by remembering and feeling sad for not just my family members who were on crack but other people including my friends who tried it for the first time then got hooked. The truth is that we sat around and seen our family members looking like zombies that I was surprised and felt disheartening when I saw people I grew up with now hanging in spots or same places as the generation before them. I am happy for Charlie that he met himself someone who was willing to just be... a good person to him because of who she was. It works and that is all tha matters. Color is not an issue. Blacks and Whites have had relationships since the begining of time some good some bad and some just (neutral) work it out. 😊
