Falling into our Destiny, Palin, The Children,Marvin Gaye(Live)

So as some of you know, I sub to supplement my income when I'm not acting or doing spoken word. So today and really all week I have been at high schools. I broke up a fight today at school (I won't name the school) It was crazy because no other teachers came to break it up, it was just me. Imagine about 50 students crowding around you as you try and break up to huge guys, (without getting hit yourself, (because clearly I was not trying to get hit, LOL) so I got one of the guys and of course the other one ran down the steps. I finally got the one guy calm (or so I thought) then he ran down the steps as well. I first was going to chase him, then figured I'd be right back in the same scenario as before. So I went and called campus security. By the time I got downstairs they had fought again, and the police had them both in handcuffs taking them off to juvie. An hour early one of the guys was in my class and I was talking to a group of girls (who were cussing and using language I don't want to repeat) about being a young lady, and how what they think about themselves isn't true. They were talking about the "beefs" between Mexicans and blacks at the school. Now the guy in my class was black, the guy he was fighting was Mexican. As they were both taking away in handcuffs, by white officers, it just reiterated what I was telling them. Blacks,Latinos,Mexicans, and any other minorities we are all in the same boat. The sooner we realize that and come together the better we will be. Yet some will argue it's hard for us to come together with another race, when we aren't "together". Just goes to show, that we "adults, and those who can reach" have to be more diligent in making a difference. We have to "Save the Children" for real. I get so tired of grown folks being scared of children. If you see someone doing something they shouldn't say something!! Especially this is to grown men, stop being afraid of "what they might do to you." It's all about your approach, if your afraid they're going to smell your fear and dismiss anything you say. Just come at them real, and you'll be surprised how they react. The majority of these children want a positive outlet, but they aren't getting it so they act out. Black men we've got to do better, we gotta save our boys and teach them respect and how to be a man, because they don't know, and black women you've got to teach our you ladies how to act like young women, and respect themselves. We got work to do y'all and I'm in for the long haul....are you?
