Today, I seen someone driving by and noticed someone that they know, who was waiting at the bus stop, stopped and asked her for a ride. Now, this young lady had her child in a stroller and the person who offered the ride, had stopped on the left turn lane by the neutral ground instead of either pulling over near the curb or make a U-turn and come near the bus stop.
This person literally made her run out in the street, with baby in stroller (Thank God that there was no incoming traffic) to get in the car that stopped in a turning lane, holding up the car behind them. What made it even more crazy is that me and elder woman, who watched this situation take place, we tried to get their attention, you know that the driver or no one in the car with the driver, didn't hear a single word. Not only that, no one in the car didn't even considered telling the driver that what is being done is dangerous, because ain't no telling what's gonna come. It could be a box truck, school bus, public transportation, 18-wheelers, 22-wheelers or construction vehicles (a new fast food restaurant is being built). That thought never crossed their minds.
Who does this? Unfortunately it's OUR youth, 25 & under (if not, 30).
The lady sitting next to me was saying that it was the charter school system that started two months before Hurricane "Katrina" as an experiment, after the storm, it was fully implemented so these were the same people that fell under the charter school. That's true, but only in part. It was also the failure of those who raised them short handed and ill-equipped to handle this world because they wasn't raised to be civilized and upstanding adults.
This kind of stuff seems to be a common occurrence, mostly in the black "neighborhoods" because we really don't have a "community" because we don't own or run anything. Thank you Civil Rights Generation for not leaving Gen-Xers nothing to further our cause. You let LBJ make us "N"-words vote Democrat for the next 200 years, which we are about 60 years in. For having your hands out looking for a handout (aka Government Assistance) to only to stop us from fighting and protesting. For not teaching us anything of value and substance, instead of false promises and symbolism. For not having the decency to create generational wealth. All this talk about wanted to be treated equal, yet don't wanna do anything to become equal. You reneged on the mission and now these youngsters have nothing because they were taught nothing.
You wanna know why Black neighborhoods are falling apart? There's your answer and probably more after that.
