Here, <a href="http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/features/modern-manners-are-a-rude-awakening/story-e6frg6z6-1225981896164/" rel="nofollow">check this out.</a><br /><br />Thing is, some think that because it's happening everywhere, it's okay. It's not. We all need to speak out against it. <br /><br />Speaking out means that some will see you as a 'traitor' though.neena maiya (guyana gyal)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01358313821005038118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11923960.post-9230869983882107862011-01-04T11:21:24.794-05:002011-01-04T11:21:24.794-05:00GG, I am very proud of those accomplishments by ot...GG, I am very proud of those accomplishments by other African Americans. Unfortunately, much of what was accomplished has been forgotten and lost. I see it receding daily. Mary Mcleod Bethune said it best: "The true worth of a race must be measured by the character of its womanhood." I would also add the character of its children and men. When I look around, there is a lack of decent character among us. The things we see as "good" and decent today doesn't even come close to who we were as a people. I feel that the desire for parents of the previous and current generation to have the "best" for their children lacked basic instruction and lessons in manners -- not all but many. Along with other hinderances, it has hurt us in a bad way. Thanks for the comment. Always a pleasure.Stephen A.
