Who Needs ISIS When Chicago Gangsters Shoot 9 Year Olds

Also, I am very disturbed by the thought of "impure blood." Isn't that what "tainted ancestry" means? Shades of Nazi thinking. Who among us has pure non/tainted ancestry? All peoples have acts of cruelty and barbarism in their past. Sadly, some of us

perpetuate it in the present. This divisive approach only feeds racism. Forgive me, but to hear an individual from a country which practiced slavery sneer at President Obama's possible origins defies comprehension.

Tainted blood... Yeah... I fear that there is a little "Nazi" in too many people of late...

You are right here. If all whites were raised in fatherless families, then they too would have children just like those in our big cities.

Presently, statistics indicate that over 70% of Black children are being raised by single mothers. Many of these young kids will grow up not knowing who their father really is. That is a sorry situation that is Not conducive to becoming a responsible adult. Whites are Not much better anymore, as many reports are showing that almost 40% of today's marriages will end in divorce. The children of these disfunctional family environments stand to suffer the consequences.

Obama did get One thing right with regard to this situation....when, during a campaign stop in 2007, he was asked by a member of the audience "what do you attribute the rise in Black crime to", Obama quickly answered "The breakdown of the Black Family". He was quite correct...and not only among the Blacks, but the Whites as well. An increasing number of today's kids are being raised with less and less parental guidance, and that does not bode well for the future.
 
Hmmm. I think that would depend on what kind of parental guidance is employed. Abuse is not confined to lower socio/economic levels. Toxic parenting is far more damaging than single parenting.

I don't think lack of a father implies abuse at all. More like any care or attention at all for far too many of those children, white or black.
 
I hear what everyone is saying…I really do.

But I can’t help but think about a couple of families I know personally. One family is black, the other white. Both are two-parent families living in mid-upper middle class neighborhoods.

The parents were always involved in their kids’ lives. Tried to instill good values. Yet in both cases each has a child who – in late teens/early 20s turned out really bad. Committing crimes, jail, also some drug use.

It happens. :shrug:
 
"Time for someone to pipe up that if the nine year old had been legally armed he could have saved himself"

What, exactly, drives one to make this type of remark? imp
