The one thing that distresses me about today's "youth"

is they just don't fucking get it.

A friend turned me onto this today:

?w=614

?w=990

I think they had it too good. They didn't endure what my generation and my parents generation had to endure. And still today we are dissed, disrespected and hunted like animals.

And these dumb fuckers use the Father of the Civil Rights Movement to promote a fucking twerk part.

Fucking disgusting.

and so will their children be when the time comes.

Face it, school doesn't teach kids enough useful information, they're too busy teaching to tests and trying not to tread on hyperrsensitive right wing toes.

Education is what happens after school. Some will remain empty headed celebrity obsessed low information voters, if they ever vote. The rest will manage to get the point.

And it was ever thus. While they didn't grow up with our problems, they have problems of their own. Don't sweat it.

some of these people also did not act like Twerking didn't just come into existence last year when Miley popularized it. Twerking is basically just booty-shaking with a cute name, and people have been doing it for years!
