And we have a dear family friend in the same situation - I would also be devastated if that happened to him.
This has nothing to do with slavery. My recent ancestors had it far, far worse than slavery. My family is kind and civilized. Using slavery 200 years ago is a load of bull.
This has to do with decivilization. No mature adults are raising these kids. They are not learning right from wrong, morality, kindness, consideration. I am wondering if with each generation the frontal lobes of gangsta kids are being reduced because they are not being used. All that counts is keepin’ it real, which means pure animal reactions - to EVERYTHING. Kill the weak, screw every opposite sex person that walks buy, GET for yourself, no one else counts. Squirrels live like that.
G-d made humans better. The quicky gang generations are losing our civilization.
Some do use the slavery/racism issue every chance they get. But, I agree with you about why many are like this. Children raising, children, left to run wild, no father around, no support, seriously dysfunctional families. Nothing better to do because you don’t have to work, the government will support you. Being good in school is worse then frowned upon and the school system especially in the inner city is horrible.
