Yo Parents: Your Little Thug Commits a Crime, You're Doin' Time!
January 16, 2012 ~ 2 comments

Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter has had enough—so have I.

Following another shooting in his city Tuesday night, Mayor Nutter called the alleged perpetrator “a dog”, and told the parents of young thugs in the city “not to act like idiots and a—holes.”

Last year Nutter went off after young black roving gangs hospitalized several people, including one man with a fractured skull.

This is yet another example of what black people can do to a community. BOND covered this deteriorating situation in our SPECIAL REPORT: BLACK THUGS GONE WILD, and our UPDATE: BLACK THUGS GONE WILD

We will continue to highlight the out-of-control, wanton violence being perpetrated by young black hoodlums, until elected officials, the news media, police department spokesmen and the media start telling the truth, instead of covering up for the criminals.

My nonprofit organization BOND is “Rebuilding the Family by Rebuilding the Man”, and black men and families cannot be rebuilt when political correctness prevents an honest discussion of the clear problems in the black community.

Following this most recent shooting, Mayor Nutter had choice words for Philadelphia parents: “Their little butts should have either been in bed, getting ready for bed, or doing some homework,” Nutter added. “Not out in a car, not in some other neighborhood, and not up to this kind of nonsense. I’m not your mom and I’m not your dad. We cannot completely legislate, or by policy, make people responsible for their children.”

I applaud Mayor Nutter, and agree with these comments, except for the last sentence: No, we CAN make people responsible for their children! If your little thug is out cruising the streets late at night and pops a cap into someone’s rear end, guess what, not only is your little thug going to jail, you’re going too. That’ll bring some responsibility back into the black community, if black parents are unwilling to bring back the responsibility voluntarily.

Listen to my commentary from this morning’s Jesse Lee Peterson Radio Show to hear my full views on the subject.

Mayor Nutter is 100% right on the money! As a black man who has always played by the rules and was raised with proper "home training," it absolutely sickens me that (a) these black thugs and hoodlums are terrorizing our neighborhoods, and (b) the spinelessly irresponsible parents thereof who ALLOW them to do so. Such "parents" need to be publicly held to account for the horrible parenting job they're doing, and kudos to Mayor Nutter for doing so. Just because you're raised poor doesn't give you an excuse to become a menace to society. I was raised fatherless and welfare, but I still managed to become the first in my family to graduate from college, earn a master's degree, and serve my country as a U.S. diplomat. Black America needs to wake up!

Good point. Valid arguments. Completely agree with holding parents responsible. But I dare to comment that the parents were probably unfit to have children anyway. Not clicking on the video though. You spew a little bit too much self hatred to be taken seriously. What should be concern for your own community really comes off as contempt. That contempt is literally a mask because you absolutely hate the skin you're in. Something happened to you in the past where you internalized racism and turned it into self-hate. You are the worst kind of black man. You hate yourself so much you can NOT possibly love others who look like you. God Bless you though!
