My roommate is one of the few "young" black christians I know who is hyper religious. Overall I've met way too many who's religion seemed more like something passed down parent to child, sort of like a foundation to stand on during hard times. And while the parents are religious, the kids rarely are.
This was on full effect when I played basketball at a Baptist church. There were maybe 6 black kids at the school and all of us were more "worldly" than the other students. One time one of my best friends on the team brought a Source magazine onto the bus; a half naked Trina was on the cover. We were in the back of the bus looking at it, and some of the white kids were looking too lmao. Then a teacher got on the bus and slowly started walking towards the back of the bus. All the white kids moved back to their seats, as did another black kid and me lmao. My friend sat there with his head in the magazine, totally obvious as the teacher walked right up to him.
"Richard what is that. Is that pornography?"
"no sir..."
"Where did you get this filth?"
"I found it on the bus..."
"Yea, right. That'll be 100 demerits"
One of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life
They'd constantly get in trouble for talking about movies they had seen, or music they listened to off school grounds.
