Wake Up: So Sad

Sadly, in this day and age you would think that Americans are far beyond these types of inhuman racially charged crimes. I mean.. How could something like this happen? We have an African American president, African Americans are earning more and going farther in the corporate world as well as the political realm. So again I ask, how could something like this happen? How could kids, who have so much, harbor so much hatred?

Reality Check --> Lets be honest, we may have a Black president, but it's still very much a white mans world. So what on earth could those kids have to be so angry and hateful about? I suppose these types of incidents really puts things into perspective about where we truly are as Americans.But whats even worse, as far as I'm concerned, is that in light of these types of crimes against our people and our community, we as African Americans have the nerve to Beef, hate on, and fight with each other everyday. If we treat ourselves and our people harshly, how can we expect others to treat us? I'll tell you how: we don't respect ourselves therefore others have no respect for us.

So brothers and sisters -- respect yourself, respect your family, and repspect your community. Its the only way to teach others.
