Just curious to how you group a whole generation of a race with just the people you know and see on tv? You travel often?
-
There are many answers:
They (the government) hit us with the ? and guns in the early 80's and we're still recovering from the bad parenting that took place during that time is one answer.
Unreasonable expectations is another answer.
Taking things out of context and not understanding what subjectivity is, is another answer.
etc. -

Not every black person is like this but they're a group of blacks that fit what we are saying. And I dont need to travel around the nation to back up my point when u can just look around you with what some of these guys r doing and social media m (but I have traveled quite a bit) -

I think the civil right generation didn't accomplish enough. Duped, sabotaged, and settled leaving a ? in the movement that eventually became a hole that is now the broken levy over taken by racism.
You got folks trying to piece the foundation back together. Folks that just found a way to swim and not drown. Then you got folks dead in the water. This division is keeping us from getting on the same page as a whole and making whats ours.
The Clippers and Bieber situation have shown me ? won't pop off till we are all (rich and poor... accepted and rejected) are forced to fight our way out of it.... again.
In a way... white people need to keep up the bad work. They haven't ? enough of us off yet. -
Decadence & hedonism are two major factors. We that were born in the 80s and raised in the 90s were born at a time where lavish lifestyles became the norm, even for those living in poverty stricken areas.
This lifestyle encouraged sex, the endless pursuit of money and status above all else and in the end it degraded our ability to focus on important issues and instead we pursue things that really prove detrimental to us.
Although we didn't create these issues we fell into them much more heavily than previous generations. ? these days will rationalize both using and dealing drugs, engaging in rampant sex at the risk or the family structure, abandoning educational goals in exchange for dreams of careers in entertainment
We were the first generation to see the opportunity being an athlete really had, with the multi-million dollar basketball contracts coupled with sneaker deals. We were the first to see how much money music can really bring to you. Record label deals worth millions, jewelry, fancy cars and clothes as well as your choice of any woman on earth.
Who wouldn't want that?
Of course we also turned a blind eye to what life is like when you ignore reality. We didn't notice what we had to sacrifice to attain those things, we just wanted them because they were "cool".
There wasn't anything "cool" about having knowledge of self and knowing how society functions and how to properly operate in it. There's no models falling at the feet of nerds, no benzes, no "ice", no multimillion dollar homes and so we aren't interested.
The 1980s changed everything. Politically, socially, economically, culturally it all went to pieces. The 90s and now the 00s are the only eras I can really think of that had no big pro-black social movement. The 70s continued where the 60s left off and the 60s took what started in the 50s and decades before to new heights.
We dropped the ball because we thought the work was done and now it was time to cash in on our grandparents work...and some of us are but for every LeBron James there are probably 2,000 that failed to even get close and had no plan B just In case.
Langston Hughes asked "what happens to a dream deferred?" ? I think these kids today are the answer.

You singled out only what part as if drugs, dealers and hoes are not rampant this generation. Back then there was a balance.
There is no balance today, just garbage with idiots running around shooting random people both in the burbs and the hood. I remember when you only got killed if yo were in some street ? . Now you get killed cause some kid is in his feelings.

Crime is at historic lows. Teen pregnancies way down. Drop out rates way down. "keepin it realism" way down. Objectively, things have improved tremendously from the 90s for instance. That guy on that ranch started it with the "let me tell you about the negroes", then people just been unleashing all their built up feelings about "those negroes" lately haha.

Okay cool, now what's the a solution? You're conscious of a problem, so what are you consciously doing to solve this dilemma?
What's the next step? -
