Mikell contends that black society actually has more of the "Wendy Syndrome" where we end up growing too fast and that this Peter Pan syndrome is not born from black society. Sam contends that there are specific parts of black culture that glorifies staying in a younger mindset. Hip hop artists would be married for years, but all of their content would be about living a young carefree life.
