Well, I tell ya, some folks just don’t get it, don’t they? I mean, here you are, just trying to get a little bit of respect, maybe even a little kindness, and folks start actin’ all funny, like it’s somethin’ wrong with that. Now, if you ever hear someone say “YWNBA,” you might be wonderin’ what in tarnation that means, right? Well, let me break it down for ya. “YWNBA” stands for “You Would Not Be the Ahole.” Simple, right? But, let me tell you, it ain’t always simple when it comes to askin’ for a little bit of decency, especially from family. I’ve seen folks talkin’ about it on those fancy social media platforms, and I gotta say, there’s a lot of folks out there wonderin’ if they’re wrong for askin’ for somethin’ as basic as respect.
Now, let me tell you, I’ve been around a long time, seen a lot of things, and one thing I’ve learned is, respect ain’t somethin’ that should be earned like a shiny gold coin. Nah, it should just be givin’. Now, you might be askin’, “What’s so special about this YWNBA business?” Well, it’s simple—sometimes, people feel like they’re the bad guy just for wantin’ respect. They ask their parents, or their friends, or folks they know for a little respect, and suddenly, they’re the ones feelin’ like they did somethin’ wrong. That don’t make no sense, does it?
Let’s take an example. You got folks out there, parents mostly, who don’t give their kids any space, any time, or any respect. They don’t listen to ‘em, don’t understand what they’re goin’ through, and make them feel small. That’s when the “YWNBA” pops up. See, some young people got the guts to stand up and say, “Hey, treat me like a person. I’m not some fool, I’ve got feelings too!” And when they do, others start lookin’ at ‘em like they’re askin’ for too much. But that’s just it—respect ain’t too much to ask for, no matter who you are.
Now, here’s the funny thing. I been hearin’ all sorts of folks, mostly younger folks, usin’ these funny little letters on the internet. Things like “YWN” or “YWN see.” It’s like they’re talkin’ in a code that’s meant to be understood only by the ones in the know. But when it comes to basic respect, there ain’t no code, is there? No, it’s just simple human decency. And if you’re askin’ for that, well, you shouldn’t have to explain yourself, should you?
Now, let’s think about why this “YWNBA” keeps comin’ up. Why is it that young folks feel like they gotta put that out there? Well, it’s ‘cause sometimes, when you ask for something that simple, folks act like it’s too much. They act like you’re askin’ for the moon! That ain’t right. I mean, it don’t take nothin’ fancy to treat someone with respect. It don’t take any special skill, no fancy education. Just look ‘em in the eye, listen to ‘em, and treat ‘em like you’d want to be treated yourself. Ain’t that how it’s supposed to be?
In the end, I’ll tell ya, this whole thing boils down to one simple truth: when you ask for respect, you ain’t askin’ for somethin’ outta this world. You’re just askin’ for what any decent person deserves. So, if you’re out there wonderin’ if you’re wrong for expectin’ basic respect, take a deep breath and remember this: YWNBA. You would NOT be the ahole. Don’t let anybody make you feel like you are.
