I’m writing this because I had a youngin leave me a FB inbox trying to beef. This young rapper raps
about drugs and KILLING folks and he is mad because we stand for the opposite. I politely told him that I don’t have one free second to help his career by beefing with him and he was really disrespectful. I’m trying to figure out what happened to the young men that respected their elders? I and 15 years older than this lil cat and we were taught respect. We held doors open for our elders and we said yes sir and no sir when speaking to them. What happened to the Parents that teach their kids to respect their elders? I asked the young lad how did he hear about Kingsmen and he said his mom speaks highly of us. I told him that I never heard of him so he has a lot of negative work to do to build his buzz and I’ll continue to stand for the youth that want change!
KELLY LAKE, OUR GOD DID SAY TEST OTHER SPIRITS IN ORDER TO DETERMINE HIS PEOPLE! MS. LAKE, I LOVE HOW YOUR EXPLAINING GODS KNOWLEDGE WITH HIS QUOTE! THAT’S SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST, WHEN A PASTOR EXPLAIN WHERE YOU CAN FIND WHAT HE’S PREACHING FROM THE BIBLE IT SELF!
LOVE YOU GUYS, MY FACE BOOK BREATHRENS!

GOD SAID IN OUR LAST DAYS THIS AREA WOULD BE SMARTER, BUT WEAKER! A LOT OF SINGLE MOTHERS ARE SO SCARED THAT THERE SCARED TO LET THEIR CHILDREN PLAY. ON THE OTHER HAND, WE HAVE FATHERS AND MOTHERS WHO JUST DON’T CARE ABOUT NOTHING ABOUT THEIR ON CHILD’S WELL BEING! THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT THE OTHER PARENTS INVOLVEMENT! SAYING THEY LET THEIR CHILD MAKE THERE OWN DECISIONS! THERE’S NOTHING GODLY IN FORCED, LET A LONE RESPECT, SELF VALUE AND MORALS! GOD SAID TEACH YOUR CHILDREN HIS WAY AND THEY WILL ALWAYS COME BACK! OUR GOD SAID THE ROD WILL KEEP THEM ALIVE! A CHILD’S SWAGG AND COOL NESS LEADS TOO OUR WAGES OF SIN, DEATH!
families now days are all about perceptions. what it looks like. we look like the perfect family but in reality the secrets within is why lil ray is running the streets and with the local gangs for the love u get from family. the lil girls running to the local dealer for love instead of dad or mom family secrets were kids not gettin help for issues but covering up so mo one knows. the when kids are bad or disrespectful they just bad kids. it is so many reason why kids are the way they are we as parents have to figure out why and the pray love and talk fhem through making changes in ur life
Amen Dana!
see the way we was raised was different and in a different time . some of the ways we definitely need such as discipline mannerisms. but in todays world u need a relationship with ur kids so when the world tries to deter them.from gods plan they will come to u or an aunt uncle to get advice. not.the friend who knows less and can lead her astray. as a parent we can prepare our kids but they have to feel confident and comfortable enough to come to us or trusted adult when important life changin decision is needed to be made. as parents we must try to lead by exampleand if we make a mistake stop lying about and use it as a learning lesson for kids and parent. teach kids about god and how to pray.
single parent homes have the mother or fAther at work all days leavin kid at home. it takes. villages because one can not do.it alone,
my lil girl has me her aunts uncles to go to so together she will be successful. the ideal situation is 2 parents married raising kids. but we must teach the importance of know how to admit i messed up and im learning from it so that i do not repeat it.
we have keep the lesson of the past and add a few new ones for the 2014 kids
It’s always been there, I agree. But when I read those words in 2 Tim I think it’s gotten a lot worse just in the last few years…..I was even thinking of ‘lovers of self’ and “selfies” lol!
Nothing is new under the sun.
Take us to church, Kelly Lake. Preach!!!! ♡
It’s playing out before our eyes…..”In the last days there will be perilous times….people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, t loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God…….” (2 Tim 3:1-4)
Lack of concern is the culprit in my eyes. People will record your dilemma before offering assistance. ‘Cold World’ has taken on an ALL NEW level of disconnect……
You are so right, Sumtingwong Witchu Saunders!! The world’s gone mad!!! But i am wondering……is my generation (baby boom) to blame?
Kingsmen White, this is EXACTLY why I’d like to see your program implemented in every city in every state. IT’S A NATIONAL PROBLEM!!!!!
Kelly Lake, in my neighborhood, the adult you disrespected would get you and bring you home where it would be FURTHER driven home.
#ScoutsHonor
Nowadays, you’d get jumped by a child and their parent. LOL!!!! (not funny) Seriously.
That’s the truth, Barbara!!!
SOMETIMES BEFORE YOU GOT HOME
What I see is parents trying to be best friends forever with their kids instead of parenting them. The time will come for you to be friends with your kids when they are adults like you. But the parents need to be the parents raising children and not let the kids run the show. Too much of that going on. Kids need the security of discipline and love and training. Back when I was a kid in the 60’s/70’s….you would never dream of being rude or disrepectful to ANY adult….or you knew what you were in for later at home!
THANK YOU
Mrs. Barbara Finley Walker, you said EVERYTHING. ♡
WE CAN RAISE THE CHILDREN IN TODAYS WORLD, BUT WITHOUT A STRONG MAN IN THEIR LIFE, THIS IS WHAT WE GET AND ITS A SHAME , THERE ARE SO MANY STRONG BLACK MEN BEGGING TO BE IN THEIR CHILDS LIFE AND SOME OF THESE MOTHERS THINK SHE CAN DO IT BY HERSELF,( NO LADIES )THIS IS 2014 AND IF YOU HAVE A SON OR A DAUGHTER THEY NEED A POSITIVE MALE IN THEIR LIFE TO HELP YOU SHOW THEM HOW TO BE A MAN OR A YOUNG LADY… NOW A DAYS THE BOYS ARE SHOWING THEIR UNDERWARE AND THE GIRLS ARE HALF DRESSED AND WE WONDER WHY !!!! THINK ABOUT IT , PEOPLE WAKE UP THEY NEED BOTH PARENTS TO HELP OUT IN ALMOST EVERY WAY, MOST OF ALL THEY NEED TO BE TAUGHT WHAT REAL LOVE IS,,,,, IJS
my lil girl is 17 and she is far from perfect but is very well spoken not only because i teach her to be respectful but because she is intelligent and mindful of how I taught her to speak regardless of if the adult u speakin to is speakin to u appropriately or not. Being a single parent sometimes we want to be our kids friend so they will feel free to be open and honest with us. so as parents we try to find that happy medium so our kids do respect us as their parent but feel comfortable to say mom i messed up ad need help. sometimes we do not know how to do both so one falls short. this happens also because kids are raising kids. i cant teach what i do not have or know myself.
Respect starts at home. I was blessed to be taken under the wing of an “original” Black pioneer to Youngstown. He didn’t take me under his wing because I was a delinquent and troubled youth. I earned that spot because of the respect I had for him and ALL other elders within the community. My mother, a single mom, demanded that respect be expressed toward the elders. I still do it now. I hold doors for women and elderly gentlemen alike. Times aren’t the same. Boundaries are broken. Once a child doesn’t deem it necessary to respect their own parents, it’s pointless to expect that respect to be shown toward elders. Parents have elicited the “we’re equal peers” in raising their children. Have you noticed how so many children that lack “proper” upbringing are being killed or killing themselves within society? It’s a cry for what was NEVER implemented. GUIDANCE. DISCIPLINE. I think about how I was smelling myself as a youth and called my mother by her government. I said, “Yeah aiight (government name). At 41 I still don’t remember whether I was smacked or punched. She was yelling at me to express.what I wouldn’t do again in life (true), but all that was clear was the ringing in my ears…….I could just see her lips moving.

New Breed, New Era. I see kids cussin on the bus in front of old people a lot. A few times I said something but sometimes I just shake my head in disappointment. No respect for elders these days. Is it the drugs or the music they listen to? Its not always the parents. Some kids are Dr. Jeckyll at home and My Hyde out in the streets.
I’m not about to be disrespected by my kids r no one kids. It’s a place for wanna be grown children. Not saying I’ll put my hands on them, I’ll show tough love, don’t ask me for nothing, get it yourself, food, clothes, bills, rides, money, then if things gets badder, get OUT!!!! When you can learn to appreciate things I do n provide for you, you’re always welcome without attitude but respect. Imma be daddy, friend, brother, etc, anything but used n a fool. I will shorten mines days with foolishness
yes sir fam Rob Darnell
Makes no sense fam..these youngins have NO respect at all..it’s a shame but you handled it right..in the REAL world NO respect get you No where
Rob, I say the exact same thing
I think some of us are trying to be cool instead of being parents. If you or anyone that knows me see mine acting a fool please put them in check I dont want mine to die. I’m so proud of what you stand for Sly your doing on a large scale what I try to do at home. SALUTE!
Absolutely, my kids do
Tarik Audain Sr. we talk about this all the time how these kids don’t show any respect anymore
James Elevating Jones I know you see this all the time
Chris Amill Sr every time I see Cj Amill he always show respect I know you taught him well
