People can blame Hip-Hop and entertainment all they want, people were committing Random Acts of Senseless Violence
even when when everyone was into afrocentricity and the shiny suit “Lets have fun and dance” era.
Basically its starts in the communites, its going to take councilmen and parents of these neighbourhoods and schools to work with community organizations to find constructive ways of getting bored, disenfranchised teenagers and black males to find a positve outlets. The enviroment breeds the emotion, so you have to try the best you can to somehow change that.
Another case of senseless violence. I can't hide how hurt I am after this story was brought to my attention and all the violence that occurs in our city with our youth. We as parents, friends, neighbors and as a community have failed. I hope that we as a community can step up and be better role models, teachers and parents to ALL of these children........
