The Way I See It: “What Happened”

What happened to accountability?  You come to work late, do a half-ass job and when you get written up, the first thing you say to your friends and co-workers is “they on bullshit”.           

What happened to saving?        What happened to investing?……You work hard everyday just to buy the latest overpriced name brand clothes; cars you can’t afford with rims you don’t need all the while still living in an impoverished neighborhood. 

What happened to families?       What happened to fathers and mothers? Men take more pride in how many women they slept with than in raising their kids.  Women spend more time on their hair and make-up than they do on helping their children with their homework. 

What happened to accomplishments?  We throw bigger parties for brothers coming home form jail than we do for college graduates. 

It is great to be proud of your hood, but when you are proud to still be in the same place you started from, there is a problem!
