"My" environment "≠ " The" environment
"My" environment is my home, GF, friends, family, job, neighborhood, associates, etc...
The things I have the power to control.
I cant control someone else's environment - even if I could, why would I want to?

Don't save him
Yes, but no parent can 100% control their children and won't be around them 24/7 to monitor their behavior and actions. No one is denying the environment doesn't play a role in how someone is brought up. However, there are items that can affect behavior and actions too. This is why we are discussing listening to excessive amounts of violent music which is the original topic.
They may not be my kids, but I still want the best for them. I may no longer be amongst them, but I still want the best for them.
Me too!
That's exactly why I spoke up to their Mother in front of them about the music.
The original topic was dudes comments in the video and my only issue was the "We" part,
She turned up the volume.
I put on my headphones.
There was no "We" in that car.
If I was their Father then things would have gone VERY much differently.

As I've respectfully said todeuce king in the past, the, "Blame the parents" approach isn't that simple.
The parents didn't chose the life they live either.
Not trying to make excuses but sometimes folks are so far deep into THAT lifestyle that they aren't even aware of what they aren't doing.
Yes, I know there are others from the SAME environment that made it out and made a way for their families but getting out of THAT world is a beast.
Some folks just don't know how to parent.
Yes i hear you but I respectfully disagree. EVERY adult/parent in life chooses what they do and how they reacts to things. Folks aren’t robots. Grown adults know what is right and what is wrong. A lot of folks are choosing not to take an active role in their childrens life and for that the results show.
Also, if some folks don’t know how do parent as you say……then they shouldn’t become parents.

Bill Gluckman 2024 @GlamazonJay Let’s talk about how the main people who are expected to reach back and take care of their entire families when they “make it” usually be the older daughters or just daughters in general. -

Not expected, but they do tend to take on that role.

This is a case by case basis. I realize with a lot of people on social media that they think just cause something happens to them and a couple friends that they think it must be the standard for all of life.

They use us and discard us at their own leisure. When you begin to talk black empowerment, they quickly brand you as an extremist. Then some of the brainwashed ones quickly side with the other groups reiterating any foolishness they are saying.

Perfectly said, it's just that with all this info being available you would think the younger our generation & the one following it would start to pickup on the game and yet it's like they double down trying to intervene & assimilate to everyone else's cause
It's spooky out here

They are the more easily brainwashed. They think everyone is their friend and ally. Any thing their favorite influencer or celebrity says they are down with it. Many of them just realized they are black since the entire George Floyd incident.
