I grew up on Reading Rainbow.
The younger generation knows nothing about it except for they are out here flexin’ ignorance like it’s a damn badge of honor. Meanwhile, I was raised by LeVar Burton to use my mind and not just my thumbs.
Today’s generation avoids books like they owe ‘em money. They skim captions but can’t comprehend consequences. You got access to the whole world in your pocket and are still stuck in the comments section.
Some of us read for fun. Some of us read for survival. And some of us? We read people like books—and most of y’all are paper-thin.
