"My mom and dad would have whipped my butt good for carrying on like this woman did and for saying the things she said in the video even if I was no longer living in their home. They would have taken it as a lack of respect for them, our family, and myself had I been seen anywhere wearing what she was wearing.
"My African American parents had rules and insisted that they be followed. I raised my daughter the same way. I was offended by her use of the word "nigger," a word none of my siblings and I were EVER allowed to use. This woman seems to be willing to do anything to attract attention to herself. I wouldn't throw a penny at Gucci Mane(?) or any other rapper because I neither understand nor like rap music. If this woman were my child, she'd be in college and/or working, and if she refused to do either, I would not have anything to do with her.
"Parents need to practice tough love in dealing with their offspring in certain situations to make sure that the offspring get the message that certain behavior is never acceptable. It didn't kill me, and it didn't kill my daughter. She and I are both college graduates. I'm retired and, she has a good job and no children. Folks like these in the video give America the wrong impression of AAs. And GM is definitely no gentleman. He is nothing to run after, fight over, or lose one's dignity dealing with."
Majii, don't worry, there are plenty of folks in these stories that give white people a bad name too. I'm not even talking about the actual criminals, sometimes the commenters make me sick to my stomach. I guess they are just a liability in a pool full of assets. I can handle a few liabilities if you can!
