As a whole, I think our generation (Generation X) is the beginning of the end. We have lost respect for those who came before us (our parents, gradparents, etc.) and most importantly, we have lost respect for ourselves. I think we need to take a look at our actions and realize that we are killing ourselves. For example, AIDS. A contagious, yet controllable disease! If we just take the time out and protect ourselves before making a potentially life changing decision like having sex, the number of people infected, per year, could drastically decrease.
And to some of my African American brothers and sisters, I think its time to make a few changes. Do you understand what the civil rights movement meant for us? Essentially (not totally), it evened out the playing field. We are not taking advantage of what was given to us. Our ancestors died trying to give us a better life and we are taking these opportunities to better ourselves for granted.
