The Responsibility Of Community Leadership and The New Generation Of Youth

Recently, I had the chance to attend the 2007 NBBAN National Conference. This stands for National Black Bail Agent Network. The keynote talker was Head Justice Ernest A. Finney, Jr. from South Carolina, who was the state's first black elective to the place of Head Justice of the State Supreme Courts, since Reconstruction. Finney, who retired from the state Supreme Court in 2000, is certainly from the old school started his speak about what it was like back in the years after graduating from law school in 1954. Later covered issue about the duty of the black bail bond agent dealing with today's immature person and how many tin avoid being a repetition wrongdoer with a small more than guidance.

Finney stated, "one twenty-four hours a immature black adult male came into my office with his trousers hanging down to his waistline with underclothes showing." He inquire the young person "where are you going?" the young adult male said he was on his manner to court. Finney went on to state the immature adult male "you need to set on some nice clothes before attending court." Finney's address at that time reminded me of a Bail Bondman in Raleigh, North Carolina country by the name of George Latham. George, when having to deal with troubled young person take the time to give them a good tong lashing for doing stupid things that landed them within the county jailhouse in the first place. He clearly understands it's a critical problem with more than than than 9,400 captives serving life prison house terms for law-breakings committed before the age of 18, of which more than 2,225 were serving life without parole. Of those, 16 percent were between 13 and 15 old age old at the time they committed the law-breakings for which they were convicted.

I'm seeing more than people that have got a voice finally talk out on how today's young person need to unbend up their act. Lately, Iodine watched an episodes on television ONE - Sharp Talk with Aluminum Sharpton and viewed the Clergyman Sharpton talking to immature work force in the music industry about how some singers in the past like Jesse James Brown usage to compose and sing songs with significance for illustration "I'm Black and I'm Proud."

In this generation, some Artist in the Hip-Hop/Rap industry be given to name each other the Normality word, glorify merchandising drugs, or hurting or else killing their fellow man. I also witnesser a proud minute when Princess Diana John Ross spoke out on the 2007 stake Awards about you don't have got got to utilize the Degree Fahrenheit word or sing about "Pop, Lock and Drop It" in orders to have a lasting music career.

This is no longer a private household matter. We as People must turn to the hard problem in every aspect. Starting from business, churches, and schools to wellness care, authorities and the media. By dealing with this issue honestly, all of our United States citizens will benefit.
