Etiquette needs to be taught in urban schools...

[Wild self]

"neighborhoods" died for the most part....before families grew in the same neighborhoods and everyone kinda looked out for one another and some disciplined other people's kids "take a village to raise a child" comes to mind..

but now people move around a lot more ...more transplants, development of neighborhoods, kids going off to college is more common most never come back to their city/hood to live, ...so many factors now neighbors hardly know each other ....couple that with the new social wave of "mind your business" or "it aint our problem" that's like a ton of influences, lessons, and experiences that kids now a days are missing out on....

"neighborhoods are now hoods cause nobody's neighbors"-de la soul 'stakes are high'

I remembered this video on SOHH that discussed how the level of trust in our society is crumbling and to the point where isolation is actually the solution to many people's problems.

To reach out to these kids, you gotta shame them for their bad behavior. Compare their behavior to the likes of the KKK and corrupt cops and Pac n Biggie's killers. Once you make that comparison clear as day, kids will be shamed into doing the right thing. Break them down to build them back up.

why generalize a whole class of ppl off one video you seen on Worldstar. Unless you already have a misguided ignorant preconceived notion about our ppl. Im not saying there are not aspects that some can work on, but that's everywhere. Folks having to stop misrepresenting confidence and passion with buffoonery. My ppl are a passionate bunch, it's in us to be that. I dont want them to lose that. Instead of etiquette, they really need to be taught individuality. I will never tell my ppl not to be themselves cus whitey said it's not beneficial.

If it's passion that's causing them to act like that then they need to give it a rest and chill the fvck out.

I've felt for some time now that Black Americans would benefit greatly if our children were sent to strict boarding schools, be even better if intelligent people in our community were controlling the course objectives and overall curriculum as well....I don't know how this would be feasible though. Imagine if black folks had an education come up...

The United States as a whole needs to get over the idea of a 3-4 month long break in the middle of the summer. It's not competitive enough. Kids need to be schooled all year round, with small, but numerous, breaks during the year. I'd even be for making high school more like college...you pick your classes (With careful involvement from teachers and parents), and you are just working towards credits and not so much focused on finishing in 4 years. If some dudes need 4.5, 5, hell even 6 years to finish than so be it.

One video? How about damn near 90% of the videos? How about just walking around in real life? These women don't have any goddamn sense. They don't know how to control themselves. Either we need to teach etiquette or there needs to be a stronger push to put these women in prison in hopes that they curb their behavior.

Etiquette is European

Black people, the women in particular, seem to have this serious problem with their mannars and behavior. It needs to stop. They clearly need to teach etiquette in urban schools. While they're at it, they need to teach Black women how to sound more pleasant when they talk. I swear half of these fights we see on WSHH and the like have their origins in a negative tone of voice.

Real talk everytime I hear a loud mouth in the restaurant or a waiter/waitress is being abused it's a black woman

I live in Chicago... so I run into plenty of black people begging me for money on the street.

The culture needs to be destroyed. One of my missions in life is to destroy hood culture.

I completely agree with that statement. That whole "hood" culture needs to be erased. That's the very root of the problem right there.

Some bums in the black community take pride in hood culture.

Maybe they should teach spelling in school, also.




Oh wait...


Anyway - it should begin at home.

I'm just in here to say we need more of "The Nigerian" around the-coli again.

I don't know where you are, but when I was living in L.A., we had year-round school scheduled just the way you described. And at that time, some people still thought we lived in the waiting room for Hell (if you believe in that). So i'm sure what that would do for youngsters' manners.
