We Wonder Why

As a young black man, I hear my peers all the time complain about why we don't have too much to do in my area but after going to Conway, AR last week for the festivities tied in to the End of the World Greek show, it is no wonder why there isn't much for us to do because there is always going to be a good number of people out there to mess things up. Cars getting hit, fights, people getting shot at, drugs, drunk driving, I see why the Man doesn't want to give us too much to do because there will always be ignorance. Now if we as a people knew how to get together peacefully and chill there wouldn't be too much but people look for that one little thing where we mess up to hold it against us and thats what these young folks don't seem to understand. This was my sixth and most likely last year going because it seems that the generation after me is more worried about looking tough and making bad names for themselves than just getting out of town and having fun. I don't know where my people are headed honestly. Children are the future my ass. They say one apple spoils the bunch, well how about a couple of hundred.
