Is it me but are the generations just getting worse and worse. I look around and i really have 2 say dat boi it's jus bare sad 2 see wat is happenin to the young people, dnt get me wrong not all the youth are focusing on sex, guns ect but it seems like the minority who are actually prepared 2 work hard to acheive better things in life. This whole 'hip-hop' culture is destroying the youth.

Wat are your views? Do You see wat I see?confused3

'Bad' parenting.

Broken/'bad' families.

The affect of the blow that our history has dealt us.

Allowing black children to be trained/schooled/brainwashed by information from the Western world and Western media.

It's all self perpetuating.





Yet, some want to deny all this and continue with even more destructive behaviours: integration, denial of self, all things that have you running away from self. We (not anybody else) need to come together and organise ourselves.

When will black people get out of their Western individualistic self-centred living that has us divided, ignorant of each other & self, weak and going down the road of putting to ext

I've heard it from black school teachers and black classroom assistants, where a classroom is being disrupted it's by a black youth. Now it's usually one or two giving a bad name to the rest, but for all the individual reasons we can talk about, collectively they equate to no black unity, with no black structure and no black infrastructure to deal with our own problems.

If one black (African) person is bad, we asare all to blame.

Most of them have no direction...thats all that is required. Also kids dont fear no-one. that is the major problem...without fear there is no respect. I personally think that the slipper be brought back.

If all children were given a choice of how they wanted to enter into this world/society, they would say 'very positive parenting, TWO parents, who would guide them positivily in life, good upbring and bearing and so forth'.

I keep hearing people say 'What's wrong with the Black Youth of today'.....sorry, but Black or any other children for that matter do not born and grow themselves (although it may look that way). Most of these children were conceived in a 'Dancehall environment', where a Woman goes to a Dance where it is pitch-black, then gets approach by god-knows-who-and-what then a couple of days later she's pregnant for god-knows-who-and-what. Many people may say that the 'Black man is worthless'..to a point, maybe BUT is the Black woman who should shoulder the blame in great abundance for these piggish children. They bring these children into this world in such a wreckless and devilish manner, then they keep them as pets, telling them how useless how their father is(or should I say 'Sperm donor') and Black men in particular, also not teaching themany respect, manners or disipline. With all that tuned into their brain they go into society and wreak havoc with their hoggish ways.

So please I know it's easy to knock the children but lets see who brings them up....or drag them up.

well theres nothing you can do to change it, all the talk about solutions dosnt seem to help some of them. you cant change whats in a persons mind if they wana rap and steal get pregnant then theyll do it, with maturity these total morons will realise they screwed up but in most cases its to late for them. in some cases no amount of advice can change some of these ppl. the ones with thier head right will get through and not be influenced by the rotten eggs.right in front of me on saturday in victoria station some blk kids went into a shop and stole some food and stared me in the face smilling at me like they were gangster. i was like do these idioits want my approval or a hand shake or what? some of them even looked like they came from rich familie but just trying to act all tough and they wonder why we blks are watched everytime we step into a shop. and you got the government promoting urban bullcrap like princecharles trust fund or whatever that nonsense is called that dosnt seem to amount o nothing but brainwash these kids to think they gonna be the next mogul and skip school without backup.

its not all the youths fault the white race is destructive and has messed up blk ppl alott and continue to. they fail blk kids at school on purpose and push thier focus on music and the fact that white techers teact them useless watered down white worthless history dosnt help either .the fact that ppl still wana mix with them is just beyong belive

.look the fact is idiots will be idiots you cant change that and thier parents are 80percent at fault just watch thier mothers and youll see the mothers are the foundation nowadays. i have families with single mother whos children turned out well so thier mamas play a huge role since they wana be indepent and feel tough while thier white conterparts are getting married or can find men easier due to the fact that we have blkmale coons running after anything white. these blk women putthemselves in stupid possitions that backfire on them. you wana have 3 to 4 kids by some different dudes you dont know at 18? fine but dont get confused and man hate if shit backfires on your ass 10 years later.
self hate is also a big factor believe it or not form thier parents its passed on to the youths. as for that intergration thing i now believe mixed race kids outnumber black kids in this country . and they soon will anyway and it will get worse because they think they are better than pure blacks.



suicide is a parmanent solution to a temporary problem.

drug addiction is a temporary solution to a parmanent
problem.

I dnt believe that it is always the parents fault and i feel for those being accused and labelled as 'bad parents'. I think that it has alot to do with the environment in which the child is brought up in and also the child's characteristics and friendship groups. I know of siblings whose behaviour is completly different, a auntie of mine is having a tough time with her middle child even all the others are good children who have never been in trouble and each child has been brought upwith the same discipline and morals.

I think at the end of the day it does not matter how much u discpline and teach your child morals, they will reach a stage where they will decide whether or not they want to follow what they have been taught or not. A teenager at the age of 17 cannot be forced to obey their parents.

as much as i would like to blame the environment, i think i'd have to blame the parents. things such as gun crime...they say the media glamourises it-if that's the case (which it partially is) then every child that's into hip hop should be out with a gun. my mum brought me up well enough to no that messing about in class was a big no no. that's why i never came home with a bad school report because i knew that my mum would buss my a** if i did. there are all kinds of nonesense that the youth of today are getting themselves into that if their parents were bringing them up well, it wouldn't happen. black parents these days (not all some) have become to blinded by the western worlds way of bringing up kids 'spare the rod, spoil the child' (or something like that) and it's true.

any one who disagree's with me-please feel free to share your opinions

I will say I do believe two parents better the odds for children turning out 'better' but that's still no guarantee. I guess equally single parenting lessens the odds but that's still not gospel. A close friend of mine has his first son currently resident at Her Majesty's Pleasure (HMP)..and that's after growing up with two parents all his life...the other three children are fine.

This leads to the notion that regardless of the environment some people will need special treatment. But I agree there seems to be this wotliss culture where nobody takes pride in doing a honest days graft...it's almost embarrassing to say you work for a living. There are people stealing mobile phones where they could get one from their parents...it's as if there ismore pride in stealing it....and also asks the question of whether youcan give your children too muchin that when they come of age they are actually bored because the things they should be working for they have already.

When Lennox Lewis set up his college to help the under priviledged, that should have been a catalyst for communities to pull together and keep the momentum going but I guess after trying to help he ended up asking that same old question...who's the real mug in all of this?

Personally I've grown up on a mission only to find after years of bleaching their lives on women, weed and wine, born again christians and overnight militants feel a need to now questionyou on the thingsyou are not doing as opposed to the things that you are....or as a friend put it, continually suggesting what they would do if they were you without answering that critical question as to why they could never be you.We sell out each other all the time, so everybody is faking happiness.

I don't believe Hip-Hop is to blame for the upbringing of the Black youth today, but the discipline is missing from the parents of today. Like what was said earlier, respect was the key within the household. I know myself who is 23 years old, was brought up by a single parent, but I was exposed to what would happen if I stepped out of line with my mother, and was constantly taught right from wrong.

But I think us as young people who have been exposed to a good upbringing can get caught up with people who haven't had such a good upbringing, but were not telling these young youths that what they are doing is wrong. I think that we all need to take that responsibilty and see the young black youth on the street as one of our own. If there was loads of Black people telling the young person what they were doing is wrong, then it might begin to sink in. Truth is that we don't have those community values and I was told before my time, that those were the values that we had.

I've been listening to Hip-Hop on a consistant level for 6 years, and I can honestly say that I haven't gone out and caused havoc because of what a male or female has said on record. Music does have power don't get me wrong, but my mother runs tings!!! that's how it goes, if your taught that from a young age then you will know.

To people growing up today, that are worried that there children will get influenced by Rap music, I say this to you, Don't buy them the album at such a young age till you know they are mature enough to hear it within the household.

There is no excuses, use the parental guidance number code on your cable so they can't get MTV, you do have that power, but you have got to take control and put the work in, because it won't happen by itself.

clp)@gallant

But i do beleive music is to blame in a way, but you was raised with a strong mother who instilled strong family and educational values in your head from young and im sure throughtout your teens. thankfully so was I.

unfortunatlty some black parents dont know how to communcate with there "wild" teens other than shoutandscream at them to fix up and look sharp(but in there own way
