Man...
What
The
FVCK !
How can a black person even begin to co-sign this sh1t ?
Y'all sound like some undercover st0rmfr0nt posters.
How does that sound any different than the typical genocidal sh1t
presented on those forums.
As black people we should want them to do better not merk them all off.
We do want them to do better breh, we do want them to do better, but where do we start? You quoted my first paragraph but you didn't respond to the rest of it. We don't want them to die. This is showing how some people want to throw the baby out with the bath water and start new.
I want to help these people but again where do we start? We can't just give them money. We can't just move them out the hood into nicer homes and cities/towns because then the same thing that happened to the projects will happen there. We need to (I think) to help these people understand and value what they have, whether it's very little or alot. They have some sense of collectivism, they can all be in the video and provide cars and props and such. But where is that for parent/teacher conferences, progress reports, report cards etc. They are all together but this 'hobby' or 'life' ain't what a young black kid needs in a city where graduating ain't at the top of the list but murders, death and incarnations, single parent families/kids out of wedlock especially for African Americans are.
I'm all for support. But the support isn't where a kid his age and in his circumstances should be.
Like I said the grown men in this video have the same mentality of the 13yr old rapper. Just living day to day, having fun. Probably cause they've dropped out or been to jail and missed the normal track of life. I say the normal track of life because it ain't normal to not graduate or to go to jail or anything, no matter what the circumstances. Granted some circumstance are less favorable than others, the goal/object of life is to overcome and grow always moving forward.
That's why crawl before you walk, walk before you run, mumble before you talk, scribble before you write, learn addition and subtraction before multiplication and division, and those before algebra.
