A lot of butthurt on this one.

I know technically it's correct, but the word disrespect used as a verb drives me crazy.
|
|
|
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.

They'll forget his speech in a week. Nothing will change. Nothing will work.

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. |

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. |

He is right. No other ethnic group acts like the blacks. Bad...just plain bad.

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

Quoted:
Great until he started with the slavery shite View Quote 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. |

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. "It's much tighter and drier up there..." |
|
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.
|
|
He is right, they need to get their heads out of their ass and off of the iphone and study, and be respectable.

Once a word has been verbed, it's a verb. ![]() The OED cites "verbify" from 1878 and "verb" as a verb from 1936. Disrespected, yo!!! I was never taught to use disrepect/ed as a verb so my white privilege schooling must be slippin' yo! |
