In fact, I see many white teens with tats and dressing "gangsta," but they don't seem to be perceived as that. It is understood that they are adopting a style of dress for a moment in time. Why is it when AA teenagers do the same, the perception is their dress denotes their personality, habits and lifestyle, not only for the moment, but for their lives?[/quote]

[b]The other side of it is that in looking at the statistics, that's another discussion.  It's the AA teens who are several times more likely to actually follow through in the violence and crime, to not show respect for women and others, to knock a girl up and not man up and take responsibility, to try and live large and piss away money on ostentatious nonsense as fast as they get it rather than managing it responsibly and so on - they go farther than just trying to look the part.[/b]

White girls abort their unborn babies at a disproportionate higher rate than black girls.  I remember years ago, a whit girlfriend being utterly surprised when she found out I had never had an abortion. She said that all her white girl friends who attended high school  with her in ling island and later in college had at least one abortion.  I was the first educated person she had befriended who had never undergone the procedure. I was also her first black girlfriend.

After years of meeting and talking to others, both black and white, her experience and observations were not  unique

Quote your sources for these statements, please, otherwise we can assume you are just one of the many getting your information from general perception or slanted media.[/quote]

Denial in action.  Check crime statistics.  Check unwed motherhood statistics.  There is concrete evidence out there, all you have to do is open your eyes.[/quote][/quote]
