N. ChambersParticipantWe shouldn’t question why someone, especially parents, deserves respect; it should be given anyway. Parents shouldn’t have to strive to meet the wavering/fluctuating qualifications of a child to get respect. I believe one of the mistakes contemporary parents make is trying to become ‘friends’ with their children, when that is not the reality of the realationship, no matter what magazine one has read.
As far as parents who act up in public, just as the child does, that’s evidence they had issues before the kid even came along, and now it’s worse. One can learn a bit from elders. No, they shouldn’t act as if they are always right, because no one is. But their experiences and wisdom about life will one day aid you if you allow it instead of disgarding it. So to say one shouldn’t respect someone because of age is like saying one shouldn’t hold the door for someone who doesn’t have legs because they have arms. What sense does that make? And how nice is that? The problem is in rearing. I know several people who work all hours of the day and night, and their kids are not disrespectful, so no more excuses. I will never have a kid and raise him or her to be one of those brats.

N. ChambersParticipant‘You know what I’m sayin’ isn’t gang talk, it is used more as a pause in speech, or a slang way of asking if the person spoken to comprehends what is said. As far mumbling rap is concerned, it the same as anyone else humming a tune … it just happens to be more noticable and vexing to those who don’t like, listen to or comprehend it.

N. ChambersParticipantSome do sell drugs, but that is not the general demographic. And if that is what you think, evidently you don’t know any of these people personally. Some of it is, in my opinion, poor money managment. Even though I don’t indulge in these things, I know those who do. I am also familiar with “flipping” your money. For example, it is cheaper to buy a car directly from the owner to negotiate a good price vs. buying at a car dealership, and gradually add to the car’s appearance, then later sell it at a higher price to move on to your next ride. Clothes: some do it legit, some don’t. One can buy thousand-dollar suits, shoes, etc., that were admittedly stolen, and often they weren’t stolen by black folks. Hey, if they can look good with the same quality for less money and not get caught, some say why not. Many feel they shouldn’t let the opportunity slip by to get something worth $2,000 for $500. And we who don’t have the same access as they do can’t be angry … like we have never walked away with some kind hook-up frill, or courtesy, right or wrong…
