Too few of our '50-'60's black awareness era have taught the knowledge, the values, the expedients, the sacrifices, or the morals of that era to youth; so , today, "cussing" and "dew-rag-wearing" is considered "black" along with a host of other social dysfunctions, whom others have "educated" in them to be representative of what blackness is. "Blackness" is,excellence in all things, not its antithesis as is exhibited in self-abnegation, dysfunction, desuetude. Instead of pointing fingers, criticizing, or pooh-poohing them, teach them, love them, help them. Their conduct cries out for that older generational nurture which, obviously, too few of them have had, growing up. Start with your very own children, grands, great-grands, and their friends. You may discover that you have as much to learn from them as they do from you! Fit in with those who best fit with you in spirit, orientation, interests! All life has value by reason of existence.
