It’s the Parenting stupid
Listening to Crime Fighters on ItsNewOrleans right now and I have to say this show is right on. The other day my friend Jerri was talking up Tin and his advanced development and she was telling this to a colleague she works with and asking if he thought Tin is advanced, her colleague said, “Jerri, that is parenting.” And I agree, a child needs to be read to but when a mother is struggling herself she can’t even do the basics, like read to her child. Parenting is a huge issue and it’s not one that we as a society can address except through education.
They are talking about some serious stuff on this podcast like how the rap music saying F..k the b.tch and kill the cops, and the rest of that trash is as guilty as the lack of parenting and the entertainment like the TV shows and movies that glorify violence and guns, and all of the things that are going into making this a truth – 94% of the murders in New Orleans are committed by African American males. Let me add to that statement – who see no future for themselves.
I don’t want to bring back the 50s but I agree with this statement “antisocial values have been normalized” – you have to listen to this podcast.
But I ask what now? I was thinking about the matriarch elephant but also the BULLS – these were the elephants that got relocated from their families and afterwards the young bulls went crazy and started raping hippos. Where are the old men getting these young males in line? Let’s stop blaming the mothers – where are the fathers?
