w/young teens

And guess what: oftentimes the adults we tune out as kids turn out to be the very ones we should've listened to...

But again, I can tell from the things you that you've never worked with or spent much time around teenagers, particularly blk male teenagers from the inner city...for you to say there's nothing wrong with our youth at all.

Blk male teens tend to be more influenced by HipHop than any other social institution you can name...and would be far more likely to listen to young jeezy give them advice, for instance, than Cornel West or Minister Farrakhan...
