What does black history month mean to my generation?
A lot of elders complain that they do not know what is wrong with today's black generation. I beg to ask them what was wrong with theirs? Children don't become what you want, they become who you are. Our elders should reflect upon what went wrong during the era when today's young adults were children. Maybe just maybe they might find the answers to the problems of this "generation". They raised a world of children who know the price of everything but the value of nothing. A money grabbing, instant gratification over profundity seeking and "step pon them" culture of people.
It all went wrong when my Dad's generation decided that they would no longer allow individuals outside of the family setting to scold their children. Children grew up feeling as if there is no societal repercussion for their behavior and that as long as family members do not express dissent then to hell with society. The results we have are young people devoid of values and parents burying their children.
