Whats wrong with my generation of Blacks?

[Chef_Taylor]

I couldn't agree with you more...im 28 i wouldn't really say im young (80's baby) growing up in the 90's and it wasn't even this bad. Blacks still had some sense of pride now these kids are lost.

 

[Idiopathic Joker]

I blame soulja boy

One time, I was in math class

And these 3 black girls were talking and making fun of each other about hair(everyone was watching them) saying who had a wig,whos hair was real, etc.I just sat their like "aint this some stupid shit to do".

I could care less on how other races like us, but as u said taylor these nighas have no sense of pride.

 

[MoneyPowerRespect]

I just see a lack of hope and misplaced priorities.

these lil niggas have no one to follow. Parents is letting tv, social media, the government raise they kids. We had OG's on the blocc, old heads that would give you some type of game now it aint shit. These lil niggas don't wanna listen so pain and regret will be they teacher

 

[Mister B.]

Entitlement, lack of drive, no real adversity for them to overcome.

 

[Undergroundraplegend]

Another problem is that these niggas look like they'll sleep with any woman/man as long as they r not bblack

You lack character, honor and discipline . You are valueless, godless heathens who only seek pleasure and run from responsibility. Pretty much this generation both black and white seems to be more in touch with the beast like nature of man forgoing what really make US HUMAN.

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. Niggas 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?" Shit I think these kids today are the answer.

Crack cocaine, not being taught history and education from their parents, allowing pettiness to destroy the family unit, focusing on materialism over life, Crack cocaine.

 

[Rozetta5tone]

Stfu bro. Y'all whining ass niggas are so weak when it comes to this life shit. All y'all do is bitch about shit y'all too lazy to make an impact on.

Stop being an anti social, no pussy getting recluse and find a group of friends that will stimulate relevant thoughts.

The world is bigger than the one you've created in your mind and molded by your perception.

Ur not lying on materialism seems like some blacks care only about that over EVERYTHING

There's nothing "wrong" with our generation of blacks. Fuck respectability politics. Sag your pants and talk your shit because it shouldn't give people the right to disrespect you anymore than doc martens and flannel did grunge kids. But somehow instead of blaming a racist society, we blame the victims.

Welcome to the matrix where people are bred to protect status quo no matter if it's right or wrong, logical or illogical.

How you dress does not give them a right to disrespect you but it also does not make then respect you either.

 

[Rozetta5tone]

I'm not whining. Just responding to a race baiting asshole.

You trying to clump niggers in with blacks like you're a white man thats never been around a black person. You're confusing dumb niggers with upstanding black folk that know better.

Stereotypes and generalizations are for lazy minds. Hit the gym bro. You looking flabby and sick.

That doesn't make any sense. They should respect you for being another decent human being walking this earth.

This world is not based on what "Should" happen but what actually does and in reality no one respects a man who looks or acts like a clown and that is exactly how this young generation acts and looks.

You get no serious respect from your own elders and older brothers so you can forget about getting any from the outside society
