I don't know about any percentages and I don't want to compare or group together anyone but I feel we could all do without that damn n-word. It's just gross, whichever way you turn it.
Yes, there should. And hispanics, and asian etc, etc.. But this one post is about african Americans. It doesn't mean that there isn't other posts, it just means that they are not posted together.
Because all young black, at risk Americans are like this...

I didn't read that this was about ALL black people. I read this as being about these particular black people and what the generations before went through. It's a slap in the face to the struggles the people went through for "equal" rights for these particular people to erase hundreds of years of work.
The real question is : It used to be white people only who were selling drugs in America in the 70's, now it is almost only black people. Something changed to make black people destroy themselves... CIA "flies away"
First of all, stop stereotyping all young black Americans, young people of every race do stupid things and (May) eventually grow out of it. You comparing the is not doing them any good they are all different individuals in their own right.
I'm going to take that as sarcasm but I'll end my short rant with this, these kids are young and most of them are trying to figure out who they are and what. Lastly stop comparing this generation of kids to the last, every generation has good and bad apples please don't just group them together. End rant
AS A YOUNG BLACK GIRL,
I can confirm that what I see just about everyday is young black kids about my age (14) doing things that they shouldn't be doing, singing/'rapping' things hey shouldn't be, and throwing up gang signs. Whether it's for fun or not, they don't know that flashing those signs could in fact get you shot.
The generation before ours? The young black children then knew what they wanted to be in life. Sure there were the ones who fell behind, but they were outnumbered by the good ones. Rap was rap back then without it being about sex, money, drugs. It was actually about LIFE.
Yes, you're right about them being different individuals in their own right, but they follow each other and chase each other's dreams which 9/10 is to be a rapper.
Now, maybe it's just Chicago, but that's what I witness on a day to day basis.
