Growing up with no discipline, parents whom are scared to parent, and living in a home where are no consequences or guidance leads to this behaviour. Millions of kids grow up watching their parents do drugs, trick, quit school, have a revolving bedroom of sex partners, new boyfriends every other month, not shown any love, daily gun shootouts and murders, etc. What do you all expect is going to happen. Adults are bad examples for children and kids should be taken away from irresponsible parents.
I agree but something else is going on with that little kid in that video.

Jan you hit the nail on the head I was thinking the samething. That kids parents are probably hooked on drugs. He didn't grow up in a stable environment. I'm sorry to hear about the hard times that you have been through in life, so how are things for you now

Thanks for asking, Big Mike .. Al though things have improved over the years, I continue taking special care in picking my friends and reaching out while staying mindful of over-reaching. I sincerely hope all is well in your world too.

When it became against the law for parents to spank kids, things went downhill

It happened before then. When social services started 'taking care of' kids and not families. They are quick to jump in for a child, without ever talking to the family or making changes in the household- jobs, food, utilities and other things that a kid needs.

-The lack of jobs in the Black community by exporting them overseas-
Take away the labor jobs, and you have a country full of idle workers that still have bills to pay. Worsened in the Technological Revolution (mid 70s) when automation started making cars, household items and consumer electronics. The Midwest jobs were drying up and every business was looking at the bottom line. Headquartered in a big building that never had to see the people on the ground, and CEO's living outside the city that they took the jobs from. Then turn on the news and shake their heads at the disgusting conditions that the city has become. I consider that hypocritical. NAFTA further harmed the Black Family.

There are so many examples of Whites writing laws, that actually does a disservice to the Black community as a whole.

Example: Some states are regulating Hair Braiding and requiring licensing. (NC & SC)
This was something that was in the Black Family since the dawn of time. And no licenses were needed then. Why is a cultural thing being licensed?

Mayo in the 1930's during the Great depression Black people couldn't find a job,
but Black kids during the Great Depression wasn't even acting bad like that. Black
kids in slavery wasn't even acting bad like that.

Some kids just shot up a church yesterday, they went in there and shot
two teenage boys. It's time for the adults to take back the community
from these kids.

Yes I heard about that on the news, some of these kids today don't respect the church
or anything else

Just last week some young girls beat up another girl on the subway, they showed the video
on the news, and they were kicking that young girl in the head while she was laying on the ground

It's time for the Black community to say hell enough is enough

We as black folks have decided to let white folks dictate how we raise our childeren. Back in the day we were laughing and joking how the white mom would tell her kids to stop like 10 times before they acknowledge her. It only took a "look" from a black parent back then. Now blacks kids are getting away with same crap. Everybody is afraid of the system. When you don't rely on the system to feed your kids or put roofs over your heads you won't be afraid to do what it takes to properly raise your kids. When it's time for an ass whipping, i'm gonna deliver.
