Garland B. Johnson's Newly Released 'Black Man, Put Down Your Gun, Pull Up Your Pants, Do It for Your Mama!' is a Resounding Critique of the Wayward Black American Male.
"Black Man, Put Down Your Gun, Pull Up Your Pants, Do It for Your Mama!" from author Garland B. Johnson is a tough-love commentary that dissects the lifestyle of the gun-slinging, baggy-trousered African American hoodlums, who, the author realizes (as a former one himself), are often wreaking havoc out of fear or indifference, and need a shaking awake for the sake of the nation and their mothers.
PORT SAINT LUCIE, Fla., May 21, 2018 (Newswire.com) - “Black Man, Put Down Your Gun, Pull Up Your Pants, Do It for Your Mama!”: an explosive argument against the thug lifestyle. “Black Man, Put Down Your Gun, Pull Up Your Pants, Do It for Your Mama!” is the creation of published author Garland B. Johnson, a former US soldier and now a father of two who lives in South Florida with his wife of thirty years.
Johnson shares, “The brutal honesty of this book will cast a dark light on those who think going back and forth to jail and prison is some honorable passage to garnering street cred. This book is intended to shake the foundations of those black brothers who see nothing wrong with snuffing out another of God’s precious creations. The book is written to embarrass and provoke those brothers who have known nothing but violence and self-hatred toward those who mirror themselves. It will bring to light the root cause of the black man’s anger and propensity to harm those who had nothing to do with his own feelings of despair. As you finger through the pages of this work, you will see pronouns like us, we, them, they, and ours. When you read them, recognize I include myself in the damning appraisal of our sordid mess. For, you see, I was once the problem I am so vehemently opposed to now.”
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Garland B. Johnson’s new book is a discerning and ultimately compassionate attempt to dethrone the misplaced energy of young toughs in bad neighborhoods who take to a life of crime and substance abuse for lack of better guidance.
Working against the backdrop of the author’s firsthand experience, Johnson challenges the prevailing street norms and brings in a comprehensive plan to bring the nation out of this mess into forgiveness and redemption.
