Apology from MY Generation

I am an African American college student trying to make it in today’s society.

                I am held accountable for the falling of our black community. I am responsible for my sisters and brothers hiding behind the white man’s system, (they were expecting me to speak for them). I have polluted the black economy (I’m sorry) my bad habits were taught to me; MATERIALISM over BLACK ACTIVISM. (I apologize)

I am only and African American college student trying to make it in today’s society.

     You see me, I am the reason that black people don’t own business, that black people aren’t CEO’s that black people have not risen above the status quo. (Because) I one choose not to work hard enough to achieve my goals, choose not to work hard enough to achieve the things that I need yet I will splurge on the things that I want. I two will never support my black sisters and black brothers, I am the original hater. I would support the white man before I support you there is not possible way you could be doing better than me we are the same color. And finally I three, followed in the footsteps set before me. You see we (speaking for my generation as me) followed passed generations to get where we are today. The falling of the black community started WAY before our time (yea we may have made it worst) but the black community stop fighting way before its prime. Yet me, (WE) are blamed for its dying. (I’m sorry) we only display what we are taught. Growing up watching my black brothers in these streets, their fathers encouraged my black brothers to run these streets, and black mothers whether she be trick, tramp and or hoe as long as the bills were paid. Instead of just going to school and getting and education.

I am an African American college student trying to get an education.

In my generation there is a 17 year old CEO trying to heal our nation. In my generation we are beaten, killed, and blamed for our black community yet you scream unity. While pointing the finger so in my generation, we turned to violence, (violence) because it got us notice, (violence) because speaking went unnoticed. After all we are just a bunch of dumb kids’ and we don’t even know what we are fighting for.

I am only and African American college student trying to make it in today’s society.

And I am tired of hearing from the nation that the black community is at war. This is the last and final apology from MY GENERATION.
