LOL. A whole generation is clueless. Knowing that there are young men like Tony Hansberry and others out there put my fears that the future of black people is not all doom and gloom. Growing up, I've seen and experienced so much stupid shit. As much as I respect and admire Dr. King, some blacks believe that it was the civil rights movement and integration that ruined us, and to a certain extent...they're right. Pre-civil rights, we (blacks) were like the Jews and other ethnic group: we had our own businesses and controlled our money. We don't have that no more. Look at inner-city Detroit. Ain't no black owned supermarkets...all owned by Arabs that sell sub-quality products. Same thing with the gas stations. My granddaddy owned a Shell station, but eventually sold it.
My auntie had a clothing boutique, but from what I understand, it was just jealous bitches that made her close shop. Then I have other relatives who had talent and creativity and were all-around smart, but made poor decisions...well enough ranting for now.
Wait, but now hip-hop has become real life. And there's a generation of crack babies who don't know any better.
