I recently posted a comment lamenting how black culture is deteriorating and by extension, the behavior of many of our black youth. Such a position is sometimes ripe for self loathing or Uncle Tomish behavior on my part and certainly my generation had their issues. Two of my white Facebook friends, Mark DeVrieze and Victor Van Oteghem, remarked as to how I was a bit incorrect in that America as a whole is witnessing a deteriorating culture. True enough in part, but it is my opinion that the listed post would more than likely now happen with a group of young American black kids rather than any other group in America including blacks with very near non-American black roots such as Africans, Caribbeans, etc. First generation African kids are virtually non-existent in the courtroom as alleged perpetrators of violence. We are in a Clockwork Orange era people. Twice, TWICE I was almost attacked by black youth in separate incidents in an Atlanta park merely because I was merely sitting there kicking back. Sad, very sad!!! Thanks for the post Linda Harris.
