Really?

I'd be remiss in my blogging duties if i didn't address this viral video that's going around.

Apparently, some guy decided it was an awesome idea to film his... I'm going to guess she's around 4... year old daughter ranting about some bull and shouting some expletives.

A brief excerpt:
"I told her get out the car and fight bitch"
"Smack yo' ass to the mother fucking ground"

How idiotic do you have to be to think that this is impressive? So at the age of 4, your little girl knows how to curse, fight, and pretty much fulfill every stereotype there is about black youth. This guy's obviously a candidate for the Parent of the Year Award.

I admire his philosophy: don't set the bar low for your daughter, just completely remove it. Since she's cursing and fighting at 4, chances are she'll be on the pole by 12, and if you're lucky she'll be snorting coke off some guy's sack by 16. One can estimate that she'll have at least one child of her own by 18, and that child will get to follow in her sterling footsteps.

I'm even more disturbed that in my search to find a link for the video that didn't originate on Facebook, I found tons of folks who thought that this video was actually funny. Nothing funny about a kid who can, in a brief 1 minute and 45 seconds, set back an entire race. She literally does nothing but spout out random, ghetto, ignorant buffoonery for over a minute and a half. Doesn't matter if Barack is in office, if the mentality of the people he's leading doesn't change.

For every step forward that we make, there is still the potential to regress. As cliche as it sounds, children are our future - and they are relying solely on our guidance to put them on course to achieve the great things we know they are all capable of. If, instead, we decide to applaud them for perpetuating ignorance... well, you imagine what kind of world it'll be.

Sorry world... couldn't find a link to post this on my blog... look for it on Facebook, I'm sure someone has it on their page.
