This is so freaking depressing and disturbing on so many levels. What the heck is wrong with people acting like friggin savages? Bill Cosby kind of had it on point when he said that a lot of poorer blacks are holding back blacks more than the Klan or Jim Crown could ever imagine. It will probably be hard to report this to child protective services because the lack of geographical location to narrow it down. One wonders what kind of god would let idiots like these be fertile enough to even have children. These fools aren’t fit to raise an Iguana let alone the precious gift of a child.
I have students who from their mouths vulgarity flows so unconsciously they don't even realize they've said the words. Not only do these students admit to hearing this language regularly from their parents, but when you MEET their parents you feel even sorrier for them. These very students are so sensitive to being labeled as 'ghetto' yet only perpetuate the stereotype with their behavior. As an adult who does not use profane language as part of my regular speech OR to them makes me an anomaly, a freak, exacerbated by my distinctly non-ghetto accent, vocabulary, and education background. In the long run they'll appreciate it, but right now their depravity is depressing
Do I hear one of the parents tell his son to call the other a punk?? These two can't form sentences yet but they now know the word punk. SMH...
No, I don't think CPS should be called. There are stupid people in the world and many of them have children or are allowed to influence children.
The use of profanity/racial slurs around children is disgusting but I don't want the state stepping in to make decisions about child rearing.
People get out of children what they put into them and if these children's parents want to raise their children to be aggressive, profane people, that's their business.
Just don't come crying to me 15 years later when these kids are hs dropouts or functionally illiterate.
Big Sigh. Watching the video was a sad way to start a Saturday morning. It reminds me of a man I new a couple of years back. He grew up in a violent environment inside and outside the home. He told me story after story. He is in his late 40s now and wears his anger like a shield. It makes him miserable and difficult to be around. He can't or won't find a way to let it go. That is the future for these young boys unless somebody intervenes. If you instill anger and violence when somebody is so young it is virtually impossible for them to live in any other way.
You know the news has a way to find who these people are. They and World Star Hip Hop may be exposed sooner than what you think. As far as CPS, if someone leak them out. They might lose their kids because of there kids. Social Services do take these types of things seriously now.
My computer's sound is still broken so I can't hear whatever obscenities are being uttered. But what I do see is what looks like one little boy being encouraged to hit another boy over and over again, and the boy being hit doesn't seem to enjoy it very much. I suppose the cameraperson thinks this is "cute."
Is it the hitting boy whom they're encouraging to call the other a "punk"? Are they calling the striped shirt boy a wimp for not wanting to fight back?
Nothing makes me sadder than stuff like this. I'll bet these little guys would love a long, tender hug from some adult in their lives---once they got over the shock and confusion a gesture of actual tenderness would bring.
This was a sad way to start Saturday morning. Being from Cali, and dealing with the gang rape of a young woman in Nor Cal, I can see how that behavior is encouraged - for those perpetrating the crime and those watching. I am speechless and much saddened.
I don't believe that CPS is the answer for all. The situation that our children are placed in is sometimes as worse as the one they left. But clearly, the people filming this have no business raising children.
Maybe all future parents be should be required to take parenting classes prior to birth. We make people take driving lessons, why not parenting classes - children don't come with manuals!
Hi there,
As much as the media wants to present the case that fatherless black boys raised by single mothers usually turn out to be aggressive and violent...in this video, we hear male voices laughing and directing babies who to be aggressive and violent...
Wow.
They can't even talk yet and here we see black boys being taught to engage with each other violently....why is it a shocker that at 14-years old, they kill each other?
Yeah, I couldn't finish watching that.
Forget about the people cursing--they're basically making 3-4 year olds beat up each other for what seems to be no reason other than to get some sick joy out of it. And what the hell, they're not even bothering to encourage the boy in the blue-stripped shirt to fight back.
God is not pleased.
Hell, I'm not pleased.
And these would be the same parents boo-hooing on television when one of their sons gets shot and killed.
More evidence this stuff starts in the home.
just more evidence of silly ass negros that put they bizness on the internet. and them cry wolf when white folks pick it up and paint us all with a broad brush of ignorance
I'm trying to rationalize the different between this and dog- fighting and I'm still coming up blank.
This is so disturbing. "Hit that nigga".."hit that nigga in the face". WTF?!
Considering the "adults" in this video bring nothing to this world, maybe they could learn their lesson by facing a violent end themselves.
I am sure some of you wonder why I run this stuff. Honestly, I don't really know myself. Perhaps watching this nonsense will encourage someone to get off their butts and become a mentor or tutor, or coach, or something.
Yeah, that's my line, and I'm sticking to it.
What in the mess? Can't they see that child doesn't like that? OMG I know they ain't teaching these kids to fight. Isn't their enough violence in the world. This could scar this child. These heffa hollin "get him, get him." It's people like that who shouldn't have kids this is some crappy parenting. They are teaching the kid abuse. They just feeding the stereotype that Black men raised by single or unmarried parents are violent and good for nothing. And they using the "N" word. Come on now Can't we do a lil better. Why are they teaching him to call the other child a punk and to curse? Man that's stupid. What is this world coming to? The parents are going to pay dearly for this. That ain't funny. These kids do not even know what is really going on. And these people are so called adults. This sickens and saddens me. We do not need anymore teenage gangbangers and inmates because they decided to kill someone because they didn't like them for their weakness, strengths, or talents. These parents should be encouraging this kids to study books, learn their alphabet, or sing or something. Why are they calling these kids "nigga's" and cursing? This don't make no sense. The child in the Blue shirt may end up violent which I hope and pray he doesn't. What is going on? What about teaching the kids how to live in harmony? These parents need to have these kids taken away. Why won't they stop it? Apparently they love and have a sick passion for this. This is sickening. The parents should be ashamed. I feel sorry for these kids and the parents.
Well before you come down with judgement on these parents as ,ignorant as it sounds, maybe they're teaching these kids skills that they will need growing up in their current environment. Reading and writing and normal forms of education are not as important in that enviroment.
In one of KRS-one's lyrics he says,
"Where I'm from if you're soft, you're lost. To stay on course means to roll with force. "
This is most definitely the case in the Narcotics Distribution industry. Seriously, these may not seem like skills one should need to aquire but I guarantee at the rate these kids are going it will be used sooner or later.
I can't even hear the video and I can see from the guffawing and toothy grinning that the distillation of environment-appropriate "life skills" is the furthest thing from those slugs' minds.
In fact I'd be surprised if they even knew any of those words to begin with.
I support AB in sharing this kind of debauchery on his blog. We need to know whats going on and we need to do more than give lip service to it. We need more big brother, big sisters, coaches, mentors, etc.
On another note, living in a violent community does not warrant teaching violence. I'm not down with teaching violence and aggression. All such trails lead to three ends - prison or death, or both. We need to break the cycle of self hatred and abuse.
You don't want the state to step in , Shady? Why not ? They are probably already paying for housing and god knows what else, and will be stuck with the bill when they have to house these kids in prison in 15 years. The state will be SAVING our hard-earned tax dollars by getting involved now...
@joe:
That's on point. I won't make assumptions about this particular family, but let's say for the sake of argument that the parents DO live off social services: food stamps, section 8 housing, etc. How much violence and ignorance are you willing to finance?
That's a very hard question to answer, from many angles.
That's not a hard question: Given the costs to incarcerate folks these days, I can't imagine it would ever be cheaper to let this type violence ride as opposed to paying for prison time. Its starting earlier as the perps get younger. That's money that could be used for education, health care, community development, after school programs, medical research.....hell we could put a man on the moon!
None of those things are cheaper than locking up a prisoner, first off. How much community development can you do with $30,000/yr? Maybe you can build a gazebo somewhere.
It'll be a nice place to deal drugs from!
More seriously though: Straight cost/benefit analysis fails us here. We can't simply ask which is cheaper and do that, because the cheapest things are the most destructive of life and liberty.
No, the question of whether public subsidies should be given to parents who make choices society disagrees with is a much more complex one than that.
In fact, this is the exact argument made by those who wish to bar gay couples from adopting. Which moral code shall we enforce when we take a child from its parents... yours? Mine? Baptist? Mormon? Muslim? Progressive? Conservative?
This is not an easy call to make. We don't issue a license for parenting or make classes mandatory because it's impossible to create a class that teaches "good parenting" in a way that you can pass a test on it. Just ask Dr. Spock about "good parenting" classes. You can't make a value judgement about when to spank, how to discipline, and so on, and have the State government enforce it!
The power to regulate is the power to confiscate. The question of "how much is too much" is not at all an easy one.
Maybe on the east coast its cheaper to send them to jail, but it costs $47000 per year per inmate in California - about $10 billion dollars per year. That's a lot of gazebos! lol
Here's my take: It's always about money, and when we don't have it, we live in slums and fail to raise our kids. We don't get educated, we don't read, write or talk very well, we don't have jobs, we can't buy property. At this point, a code of ethics is very low on the pyramid of life.
Having a code of ethics means you possess enough intelligence to know what it is and the benefit it brings. It doesn't matter whether your gay, baptist or catholic etc. If you lack the resources to gain that knowledge , you live on the outskirts and don't get to participate in conversations such as these. You get to create your own reality, sick as it maybe. And their reality is sick!
Honestly, I don't know if we can fix what ails those adults, but we can certainly save those babies, if we start now. Otherwise, they'll become a statistic.
