Hmmmm, did he just seem to indicate there is a 'cultural' problem?

Say it ain't so.

And why not, since "they" are the ones that made "disrespect" a verb.

That's a pretty nice looking, and well dressed, black school.



I'm guessing Mr. Hip Hop Preacher doesn't go to the real inner city schools.

It was just tax time... I remember when I taught in a bad hood. One day the kids came in dressed to the 9s and I couldn't figure it out until a kid asked me what I spent my refund on. All the kids parents got their refunds on a Friday and they spent it at the mall at the earliest opportunity.

It may largely fall on deaf ears, but he should be proud that he's trying to serve as a positive role model.

I disagree. Those kids need to be reminded that their forefathers fought to go from uneducated slaves to leaders of industry, doctors, and contributors to society.  They shouldn't revert back to being an uneducated slave.

He was using it in the same context as white folks would when talking about the revolutionary patriots or the greatest generation and their hardships.

It came off more along the lines of shaming them for goofing off in school and wasting opportunities.

Hell, I'm glad he brought up slavery and used it in a context other than as the usual crutch that it is.

Yes but his message was still good. If they actually put forth the effort and tried they would succeed. And for most of them he's probably right.

Why?
They need to be reminded that their ancestors went threw hell to make a better world for them.
They should respect that and not just piss it all away.

Even if it only reaches a few, that's a few less deadbeats.

Good on him for his effort.

Are you assuming their ancestors were Slaves, just because they're "African American"?

The OED cites "verbify" from 1878 and "verb" as a verb from 1936.

i heard this 40 years ago in my Chicago school. Is this guy still around?

I much preferred the Rae Dawn Chong anal sex videos they used to play for us about safe sex. That was actually inspiring.

He is right, as I teacher I can attest to it. Too bad society at large will ignore the root of the problem to blame the white man.

There is nothing wrong with knowing your own history. It's wrong to still use it as a crutch and a reason to be in a perpetual state of victimhood.
