I do think that our race is being wasted, because were are not able, or, are not having positive control over our following generation. Everything which you write here, can be multiplied across the African community, including Mama Africa, and we will have the same result. Disunity, bad manners, bad attitudes, and violence against each other. But where does our youths learn to be so out of order, they must have pick up these habits from the generation which comes before them.
We are living in a very violent and out of order world, and it is getting worse as we live from day to day. Our children are being born into this miserable world, and they are just adopting and doing what they see, is being done around them. They have also noticed that we as African people, are not in charge of the major things which are taking place in this world, we do not own the planes, the trains, the multinational industries, we do not own the car manufacturing companies, nor the largest food producing companies etc. The world in which we live is a world of materialism,
and although we teach our children in our homes, to be discretionate about everything in life, as they grow older, they are incline to follow what the in crowd is doing, until babylon grab them and put their feet into their necks.
When we live in disunity in our community, and a black youth kills another black youth, quite a few thousands dallors go to waste, first to bury the one who was killed, and next to pay lawyers to defend the one who killed the other. In addition, a large portion of disunity is multiplied, in that, black parents, have not yet learned, to sit and reason, when things like these takes place, we have not yet learn to view such incidents, as a danger to community advancement, and use it a signal to unite, instead it becomes a great conflict and disunity, among both families and their friends, and sometimes this will carry on to another generation.
What we must learn, is to use tragedies like these, to take a good and serious look at our community, and both parents and their family in general, should be able sit together and reason, to prevent any further revenge, and to create healing in our community, and among our people in general. I do think if African people, are able to sit down and reason, in each of our community, where we are living, and try to put enough financial resources together, to start some small skills training centers, that could be a simple but great start, to begin to control our youths, and make them industrious. We may not be able to get them all at one time, but if we are able to get some, and make them into successful and skillful trades people, we could continue, to nourish and water those projects, and before long we could duplicate them all over our communities, and that may help us to win back the minds of our youths and people in general.
Again I send many oceans of blessings and self determination to African people everywhere
