Rho, that was our culture also. I am Black American. I remember being at church one day, cutting up, and some lady popped me in the back of my head and told me to pay attention. When I misbehaved, I had to deal with not only my mom, my grandma, and my great grandma. Sometimes my aunts. The one time I did disrespect my teacher, the principal gave me 3 days of ISS. my mom came up to the school and gave me a extra 2 days, and made me write scriptures out of the Bible. I was born in the 90's, ask me where the culture of "it takes a village" went, Idk. But I raise my son with those same values. He doesn't just answer to me. he has to answer to his village. And let me just say this, it's not a issue with Javits being from Africa, it's not a ethnic issue, it's a bullying issue. My son was bullied, I had to fight the administration just so he could switch schools because he wanted to kill himself. It's a problem with bullying and it starts at home. Parents need to start holding their kids accountable. This is not a time for the blame game, on FBA's or Africans or Dominicans. Cause one doesnt speak for us all. This is a time for us to stand as one (cause that's how they see us) and direct our attention to the actual problem. RIP JAVITS, may you get the justice you deserve 🙏🏾 Sending my deepest condolences to his parents, you all are in my prayers.
