What's wrong with people? It is really time to grow up



The people in this video should be ashamed of themselves for show how ignorant and inhumane they really are. With the advent of camera phones and small hand held camcorders we have created a million Spielberg's running around the hood now. This can come in handy when the camera is used for productive and helpful purposes, but in this case people stood around filmed and laughed as two young woman went at it in the street. Clothes hanging of and body parts exposed for the world to see smh! At what point does someones conscious and heart kick in and say damn I need to step in and break this up. Stop these two ladies from embarrassing themselves in front of everyone on the street and with the use of video options on cell phones now to a greater magnitude of people around the world. I know there are some saying these are two adults who chose under their own will to fight and knew the possible outcome was to be exposed. To those people I say, in the heat of the moment it is hard to think clearly and rationally. That is why we all need a voice of reason in times like those, and we all do have them every now and then. That voice of reason is the one that steps in between them and stops the madness, which finally happened at the end of the clip. As you see it was a woman that stepped in and put a cease to it. The men all stood around laughing and gawking. Dudes always like to see a chick fight, looking for the possibility that someone will have a wardrobe malfunction. I wonder if any of the guys would have stood around and laughed it that was their sister out there fighting like that with body parts out?

We really need to start looking at each other as brothers and sisters. If we don't show the proper respect to ourselves and each other. Then how can we truly expect anyone to respect us in the way we deserve to be respected. Things like this justify peoples views of us as animals, disrespectful, and ignorant.

Lets wake up people and respect ourselves and each other. Learn to handle things in a more mature and socially conscious way. We all will have slips and make some bad decisions, but overall we have to start to make better strides for improvement as a people, community and culture. The examples we set for the youth will go along way into shaping how our communities and people are viewed in the future. Sometimes making the right choice isn't necessarily for the now result, but for the future results. Each one teach one and it takes a village to raise a child are two sayings that come to mind. Get back to the times of our parents parents and the strong sense of pride in ourselves, that has been slowly chipped away by outside influences. Some we can control and others we have no control over. Take control over the influences that you can to make a positive difference.
