That is the truth.
Cosby added considerable weight to the ball that already is starting to roll.
No. Now it's women having babies. Of course, one of the cousin's kids has already had two, one before HS graduation.
The times have changed. We have more biracial kids in our school than black kids. If the trend continues, we may not have black kids in the schools unless they move here.
Could it be the same situation as the American Indians? Stay tuned.
My experience is that they're either dead, on drugs, dealing drugs, criminals, in jail, have umpteen children with no husband, on welfare, or just plain old bums and ne'er-do-wells.
Then the ironic thing is that these very same people demand that "you give back to the neighborhood", when they see that you've made something out of yourself.
Bump!
I don't quite understand your post.
And you have to ignore those people the most... those are the kind of people who don't want to work and be where you are. They want YOU to be down in the gutter with them. Either that OR give your hard earned money 'back to the community'.
Just live a good life and be grateful. Being charitable is a personal thing and shouldn't be a slogan coined by government program loving LIBERALS.
NKOTB is the boy band more appropriate for an article on Oreos:
The White Stuff, Weird Al Yankovic
The first one was a sweet one
Second one was a blast
Soon I finished off the bag, ate 'em up real fast
You can see 'em in my teeth
Tell it when I talk
Had so many my pancreas just went into shock
I love the white stuff, baby
In the middle of an Oreo
I love the white stuff, baby
It's the most delicious thing I know
I've had a zillion or two
In my life, they're so right
My teeth are all rotted clear through But who cares? What else am I supposed to do?
Oh OH OH-OH-Oh, Oh Oreo
Oh OH OH-OH-Oh, the white stuff
Oh OH OH-OH-Oh, Oh Oreo
What's in the middle? The white stuff
The first time that I tried it
Got a big sugar buzz
Nothing gets me high as that sandwhich cookie does
But I love the filling most
I rub it on my roast
Mix it in with my coffee and spread it on my toast
I love the white stuff, baby
In the middle of an Oreo
I love the white stuff, baby
Take some with me everywhere I go
Might get a pimple or two
Well, so what? It's all right
Now Twinkies and Ding Dongs won't do
All I need... You know what it is
Oh OH OH-OH-Oh, Oh Oreo
Oh OH OH-OH-Oh, the white stuff
Oh OH OH-OH-Oh, Oh Oreo
Oh OH OH-OH-Oh, the white stuff
Oh OH OH-OH-Oh, Oh Oreo
What's in the middle? The white stuff
Careful, girl.
That's Bushspeak.
Maybe you be a Uncle Tom too?
I'd like to see that happen, as well as changing the way women are displayed and are treated in their videos.
I subscribe to Walter Williams take on "give something back". The ones who should be "giving back" are the ones who have "taken", i.e. the ones destroying the neighborhood.
It's NOT going to happen from that crowd. Most of them need to go back to school also. You will more likely hear it from the R&B artists and from those not in the gangsta rap genre.
I agree.
"Hard working people are tagged "workaholics" so others can work their 8 and hit the gate without hurt feelings."
There are people who are "workaholics" who shirk their responsibilities to family and to their own health, doing nothing but working their life away. You may see this as noble but life requires balance.
He he he.
LOL
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree and I would say she's been raised right.
Where is it written that "life requires balance"?
