Inside The Mind of a Mad Man: The Makings of The Darkest Hour
I get a lot of questions about The Darkest Hour, mainly why did I decide to choose a topic so heavy and taboo to most. Some have even admitted to not being able to finish the book because it was simply “too dark” for them. (To me that’s kind of a compliment. Kinda.)

“Do you know what it feels like to be labeled a devil for simply existing? Do you know how it feels to be ridiculed, mocked, disrespected,lied on, beaten, tortured, and even killed because of who you are?
Do you know how it feels to be screaming out for help only to have your cries go ignored by people who claim that they are there to “help?” Do you know how it feels to work so hard for something, putting your blood, sweat and tears into it, only to not be recognized? Do you know how it feels to not be believed in??
I realized, monsters aren’t born, they’re created. Even the devil was once an angel.
Maybe I am a devil? The scapegoat. The one blamed for all of the world’s ills. The single most misunderstood person in the history of all existence.
Keep in mind that every time you put fear in that little black boy’s heart, every time you lie to him, every time you label him a criminal, every time you don’t let that little black boy express himself...YOU ARE CREATING A DEVIL.
Don’t be surprised when that innocent little black boy with eyes full of hopes and dreams grows up to be a monster with darkened eyes and a darkened heart, hell bent on two things: either destroy or self destruct.”

“This is me finally taking control of my life. For the first time in a very long time, I am doing something that I want to. For the first time, I am in the driver’s seat. I am the captain. And I am proudly going down with the ship.
I know what must be done and I am not afraid
.
I AM NO LONGER AFRAID.”
