re: Tina Knowles-Lawson opens up about the 'painful conversation' she's had with her grandson

My dad had this conversation with his four sons. It just seems like young black men and/or boys don't listen.

Can’t have a father son conversation if you don’t have a father around.

That said, my parents gave me the same, “don’t act like a jackass around cops” speech among a hundred other dinner time lessons on how not to be a piece of shite in a civilized society.
