Adults are responsible for teaching children |
| [00:03.601] |
how to observe the ways of their ancestors |
| [00:05.626] |
In fact |
| [00:07.178] |
God insists that adults talk to their children |
| [00:09.554] |
when they sit at home and when they walk along the road |
| [00:12.603] |
When they lie down |
| [00:13.716] |
and when they get up |
| [00:15.050] |
In other words |
| [00:15.818] |
God is saying |
| [00:16.602] |
"Don't mess up the children" |
| [00:18.309] |
African American families are being driven further |
| [00:20.658] |
and further apart from each other, to the extent their children particularly ones living in urban neighborhoods |
| [00:27.409] |
are growing up without the benefit of having adults in whom they can confide |
| [00:32.124] |
Consequently African-American cultural values are at risk of being lost |
| [00:36.146] |
like teaching children to respect their elders |
| [00:38.578] |
and saying "thank you" or "no thank you" |
| [00:40.010] |
and other forms of common courtesy |
| [00:42.147] |
God is saying "Don't mess up the children" |
| [00:45.036] |
