[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ I think the poster was lamenting on a cultural issue that dates back to that time. Not discussing it over dinner[/quote]
Please be quiet and take a seat, grown folk atectalkingcand you are just inserting yourself to make up stuff about black people.

OK - though I am not the one that wrote the below - its sounds like an AA did.  It looks like your reaction is a perfect example of what this person is talking about - you need to fight and prove yourself to make a point rather than discuss an issue in an intelligent manner.  I have made nothing up - just interpreting what I perceive to be a misunderstanding of what this person is trying to express.  Although - I am a bit more optimistic and think it can go away with time and a change in social norms and expectation of future opportunities.

The real problem is African American teens. The mentality that we, as African Americans, [b]need to still fight and prove ourselves like that of slavery days. Sadly it will never go away.

Another poster - agreed!  If you someone needs to insult someone to prove their point it further points out the weaknesses in their argument.  I do not see the Trump version of the african american culture, but also see in DC that kids on the metro are horrible behaved. IN addition to the release of Wilson kids after school is a total mess.  Yes I see more african american kids behaving poorly, but I do not stereotype ALL of them.   Actually, I find that all students that leave school later due to sports and other activities are better behaved overall.  This may also indicate something.[/quote]
