It seems I can’t go about my life for more than 48 hour spurts without some ignorant ass behavior stopping me in my tracks. You know, often Black folks will say that one should ‘mind their business’ and ‘it’s a free county’..which it is. And that’s why I think I am absolutely free to use today to air some folks out!
Tell Um Why You Mad, Son?
I’ll tell you what has me pissed. What has me pissed is that the average American has lost all class. I’m not talking about neglect to behave in a certain way because of religion. I’m not talking about being ‘elitist’ or acting ‘better than’ another racial group. I’m talking about plain old, good fashioned ‘giving a fuck’.
Let Me Explain!!
Most people on twitter (http://twitter.com/YoungMclayton randomly click the links shot out by others. Usually it’s to a funny video or picture. You might even get to see some NSFW (not-safe-for-work) material i.e. coochie/boobies pictures sent out by others users by accident or even on purpose. I’m not mad at that, grown folks do grown things and if you see the disclaimer and you press it and see some shit you didn’t plan on seeing then SHAME ON YOU.
You were trying to see SOMETHING you had to be warned about…
But on this day…I saw way too much!
Little momma is about 4/5 years old and is dropping the ill verbiage like a Riker’s Island Inmate! This CHILD then goes on to describe things in words I haven’t heard since I stopped riding the trains with the dock workers. She’s is standing around talking to the camera with adults who burst out laughing as she goes on and on.
She starts talking about the police sending someone to jail “right motherf—ing now.” and keeps going for a minute and forty-five seconds while the adult videotaping busts out into hysterical laughter and knee-slapping.
A few more tastes of what they find so funny:
“I will slap your a– to the motherf—ing ground.”
“What wrong wit’ you ho?”
“I get paid everyday from my daddy, b–ch.”
The kid is obviously playing it up because the adults are laughing. And I know that some people even think a little kid saying “a–” once or twice can be funny but talking about ho’s, slapping people down to the ground, and prostitution? Yeah? Really?
Videos of kids behaving badly seems to be the new thing. Here are a few more; I’ll be here to help you pick your mouth up off the floor when you are done watching. Notice how most of these videos are taped by THE PARENTS.
and this video of this Mother combing her daughters’ hair is just plain wrong. Note how the person filming this abuse is laughing like this shit is funny. America you be the judge!
I have a son and I was a son and I know kids pick up things; now more than every does t.v. and music influence the way children behave and talk. That’s all something to consider but I have to tell you that I would be locked UNDER the jail for child abuse had I OVERHEARD someone say THEY OVERHEARD my child outside behaving like this. Now you can take that how you want; I demand respect from my child!
Cosby said it. Obama said it. I’m saying it.
If the questions is now “WHO’S GONNA CHECK ME BOO?”
I AM!
I know you guys are with me on a mission to uplift and improve ourselves; but I don’t think the people who REALLY need to hear me are REALLY getting the point. Maybe the internet is too small of a place? Maybe I need to shout louder? Maybe I need to fall back? Maybe I need a SOAP BOX in Times Square? Maybe I need to mind my own business and only worry about me and mine.
Fuck that……
Maybe I need to take my message to the streets? So who’s with me?
