      Anit gonna happen without a high level of Dick-ipline Discipline You're just doing what these females are doing here on this vid No disrespect to you but you gotta stop wishing on a star And stop eating a Box of lucky Charms AT around the age of 10 - 12 years old gotta really start getting on them and showing the world around them At how it works It's Also show them science and engineering and arts and culture and how everything is built up Boys/Men ARE REALLY that simple IF you CATCH them early ( like IN the movie Boys in the Hood - was saying ) around 7 to 12 years old most young men have some ideal of what they would like to be and do in life BUT in the BC ( Black Community ) asking questions like what you what to be or do IN life is look down on ( Especially ESPECIALLY in the Southeast )
      PS I love ALL the BC ( Black Community ) BUT I am sooo glad I am sooo rejected and despised.. Better go get yourself a big Box of lucky charms and sit back and just watch the destruction because that's what these people love.. As Quiet as Kept

      I agree. We as men and women collectively should start shunning the members of our community who have children out of wedlock.

      Its not even about wedlock Because you can eventually get married we should start shunning mfkers who are absent fathers & shun women for using children as a weapon against the man

      @@ownerofastolengun but then what if the couple divorce? What if the couple can’t conceive children and have to go outside of them for reproduction. This is why alot of old ways womt really work.
      Then men are waking up and realizing marriage isn’t for them. Due to the financial burden of it.
      Just like I’m history we have to Evolve,Natural selection. Women by themselves are raising great men and women and single men are as well.

    There is a serious lack of Black male educators in elementary school. If statistics say that the school-to-prison pipeline starts with third grade, then why aren't high schools promoting teaching careers to high school seniors? I once saw a Black male elected teacher of the year in Georgia as a pre-school teacher and I thought that was so powerful because here a male could influence children from the start. My experience is that young Black males are more active in Pre-K & Kindergarten; they are more alert, more knowledgeable, some can already read and recognize a large amount of words. They are ill-behaved because they need more stimulation, they are bored because they are more advanced than others their age. It gets them in trouble and suspended in kindergarten! White women are the majority of teachers across the nation as a whole. Black women second. If we are not equipped to raise Black males as mothers, then we certainly are not as elementary school teachers. We are failing Black youth again and again and again.

    There is a lot in this one, but one of the most important tid bits discussed is grown male role models. Humans learn faster by what they see. Even to the point of ignoring what is said to them. Men have to be present and accounted for in these kids lives. They also have to do it the right way. Just being there isn't enough. Sometimes it it can cause more harm than good if the men present aren't good role models. I learned how to let my son go also when he needed teaching more from the positive role models in his life. Like boys n girls club counselors, teachers, and even music instructors. He also has an uncle and his father, not all of the time, but he stays in contact with them. Also, men learn how to treat women by how the men in their lives treat women, of course, so ladies be very decerning who you allow in your life and around your kids.

    Until standards are reestablished it dont matter.
    4 ,5 generations of Women trying to raise men have taken an irreparable toll on the community.
    At 62 yrs old im part of the last generation of black males raised in normality, with a Mother and Father in a loving home as intended.
    A population that till 1969 was the most married.
    All other groups over us still Innerstand Understand and Overstand what Farrakhan said is fact. Strong men and Women, stong family, strong nation.
    We are they only group that the women are the Men.

    I'm sorry but B4 I could continue watching I had to pause and address the fact that she gave props to the lady but then acted like she didn't remember her name. That says a lot about her as his step mother. I'm not trying to down her but what she said was wrong. If she didn't actually remember her name a simple statement such as, (I respect and agree with his mother for the wisdom she showed in doing that would have suffice.
