This was a fiery and well intentioned speech. However it sounded like a speech that would’ve been excellent in the 90s and early 2000s. However the situation is different and has evolved .
Even the comments in here …it’s focused on two populations black boys and black men . This isn’t just a black boy/man issue . Black women and girls are causing just as much mayhem as the boys are . Continuing to ignore that issue will just exacerbate the issues .Right now you have a epidemic of young people that are lost,angry and sensitive..that’s a dangerous combination when you combine that with the other stuff that comes with living in the hood .
I know for a fact that area has many good young people that want to do the right thing. There are kids volunteering to build social clubs to provide young people an escape for the summer . Those clubs /gatherings don’t bring the goofy shyt that the ratchet environments bring so they don’t get the same community attention .
