^^^^^^truthfully, I dont agree. My 2 lil brothers are apart of this generation you speak of. You're right, their clothes and thought process is lame but them niggaz can shoot wit no fear, beat tha fuk outta nigga without a second thought, and piss on ya face wit no remorse. I seen this wit my own eyes. These kids listen to Lil B and wear skinny jeans but they'll murk a nigga and put them hands on a mafucka. Yall think they aint ready but I think they ready.
i bet they'll bitch up in the face of the true enemy. and I doubt they have the discipline to follow detailed orders and make logical decisions in the advent of war. Most of these young dudes are driven by emotion and only react when their false sense of manhood is being challenged. At the end of the day their worries are superficial and trivial and never really have the ambition or the heart to take a stand for anything that doesn't involve quick gratification. They'll fight and die over a pair of jordans before they even consider taking a bullet for the cause.
Everything you just mentioned can also be said about the 90's generation. Every fuckin thing
Your right. I'm mainly in opposition with the fact that you said their ready for this kind of conflict. This generation isn't anymore prepared than the last one. Niggas back then were killing each other over stupid shit also. When I say back "then", I'm referring to the 80's/90's. I don't think anyone can deny that for the past 30-40 years, we have undergone and witnessed some of the worse case of social degradation.
Off topic though, I it is amazing at how different of a people we were 40-50 years ago. That wasn't that long ago especially in the grand scheme of things. Assuming and thinking optimistically that things will eventually get better, I wonder what future generations of African Americans will think of our generations.
You don't think this time is a 'ripe' time? It seems so. So far this year feels like a build up to a possibility. The possibility of something greater, worse, or more of the same. Its up to us to steer that boat...
alot of people are scared of possibility...they want guarantees
some people are scared of a win . because then they have to think for themselves or follow another black person and thats what we must change. too many black people don't have faith in the leadership capabilities of another black person.
I think we need to start it off with pride. being proud to be black. with pride, things will look different to you. when was the last time you was proud to see a black person accomplish something outside of obama? when was the last time you even acknowledged a black person being where whites most likely don't want them? it can start with small shit and evenually work up to something big.
man im proud to see a black person in first class on a plane amongst whites.
Im proud to see a black person leading a training class and shutting down the dumb questions people ask him to see if hes qualified
i proudly acknowledge black people on my travels around the world...sad but i only get the same in return in asia
im proud that black people isnt letting this florida shit go...
but thats just me
i have tons of ideas and try to implement them to my peers and help them with theirs...shit may sound small but seeing what we saw...you'd understand the even the small stuff helps secure a foundation
