What happened to the black mind?

The demise of the black mind

What happened to the black mind?

The younger generation of black people has gone astray.
They have no respect for life, no morals, or values.
Younger black men wear their pants sagging.
Black-on-black crime and expressway shootings make the headlines.
Let's go back in time to explore what made it this way.
The former generations disciplined their children. 
They instilled values such as; love for family, attending church, education, and pride in one's appearance.
Good parenting methods have not been passed down to the next generation.
What has happened to the black mind?
Today the grandparents are raising their grandchildren or they become wards of the state.
May God have mercy on the black race so the next generation won't be erased.
The demise of the black mind is what has happened to the black mind.
"Black people must care enough about the next generation in order to incorporate positive changes."
