I have subscribed to this KZfaq channel and seeing how corrupt the City of Baltimore, Maryland has gotten. Chris always "brings the receipts" 🧾 in his reporting, and city officials say nothing. And, yes. There are still good people in this world, especially for that young child. I'm happy for his mother. 💕

Single African American women raising fatherless kids on welfare! No amount of money can fix this problem! 72% of African Americans are born out of wedlock. We are 13% of the population and we are responsible for 50% of violent crime! We were doing better in the 60’s. And the incorrect assumption that politic is a path way to blacks progress. Only black politicians, so the thinking went, could properly understand and address the challenges facing African Americans. That’s why keep on electing incompetent black leaderships, who fail each time to meet expectations. The population of Baltimore is the main issue! Education is the fastest way for emancipation.

Why is it that kids either need to be home-schooled or pay for monstrously expensive tutoring services to get a basic education in many US schools now? It doesn't seem to be just a funding issue (as schools get a lot of funding), and previous attempts at accountability don't seem to have worked (No Child Left Behind, Common Core, etc.). Why have schools become such a hotbed for neglect and managerial misconduct? It even seems like the more a school tries to "cost cut" the worse things tend to get. Who is scamming this system and how do we fix it? Because expecting a working single mother to also be their child's school teacher is unreasonable. Surely, as a society, we have a better solution to present.

The method that is employed by me that's proving to be most effective in learning a foreign language (French) is to write ✍️ down words in audio style using phonetics. Don't worry about correct spelling or punctuation. Just write down the words how they sound to you. This method or strategy has led me to retain information that was recently taught. Correct spelling, followed by correct grammar, helps to fill in gaps that garner confidence in one's ability to master proper speech.

@@sarcasticallyrearranged disciplining children starts with disciplining yourself and being mindful of the things you do and say around them, being mindful of the people you bring around them and the environments you place them in. Black parents have a “do as I say, not as I do mentality”. They smoke, drink, curse, fuss and fight in front in front off their children all day everyday but expect a CHILD to have emotional intelligence. They praise the streets but expect a CHILD to know right from wrong. I saw a white couple in the park this morning, as the man jogged, the women was doing jumping jacks in front of the baby, when the man returned, the women jogged and he did pushups in front of the baby. Black parents twerk and play with guns and bag up drugs in front of their children. Black parents call people who went to college “cornballs” so why would a child want to be seen in the eyes of their parents as a “cornball”. Black culture is mentally ill and we blame everyone expect the parents who pass on these ideologies and behaviors, when you become old enough to think for yourself and realize how horrible your parents were, they will disown you instead of trying to fix themselves and your relationship. Black parents are just flat out TRASH.
