[quote=Anonymous]I've lost credibility?

Did I not blame society?

Blame whites all you like.  That's fine.  I'm not arguing that case.

I am simply asking YOU what YOU are doing about the problem in that community?  How often are YOU volunteering in school to read to kids?  How often are YOU mentoring a troubled kid?

If you're not helping, you're part of the problem.

At this point, who gives a crap about the root of the problem?  What?  Will you try to change the racist to fully embrace a colorful society?  doubtful

But you CAN work in other ways.

And maybe you do.  I don't know you.  And keep in mind that you don't know me either.  But for some reason, I do think I may know a lot more about troubled kids than you do.

fine by me . . .

By quoting prison stats, you've lost ALL credibility. You claim to understand urban youth, yet you fail to understand the discrimination that exists in the judicial system (as it relates to arrests and sentencing). If you don't understand WHY minorities are overrepresented in the prison system, you are without help. I'd suggest you do some research and report back. I can't debate you if you don't know the basics of what we're discussing.
