[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again and again the slaver references, that was 150 years ago and nobody alive today was any part of it.

As for the issue of bad parenting, look at the numbers and statistics.  Far worse school performance, far greater dropout rates, far greater likelihood of children suffering from domestic violence, far greater percentage of kids in homes with substance abuse, far greater likelihood of kids getting in criminal trouble in the AA community than there is in other communities.  And it's all from within, nobody from the outside is forcing these parents to be bad parents.

Deny all you like, try and shift blame all you like but that won't change the numbers.[/quote]

Tired of hearing about slavery? Too bad. It does not change the reality or the outcomes of it.

If you only look at the numbers you will only get half of the truth. The numbers may be what they are (waiting on sources on those), but to say that slavery happened over 150 years ago does not erase the mental and emotional baggage that came about because of it. I am not in denial, but i think you must be if all you can reply with is "Again and again the slaver references, that was 150 years ago and nobody alive today was any part of it.

Educate yourself a little about the seasoning process and how slaves were made for hundreds of years, then come talk to me about it "all being from within". But then again, it just might not suit your purposes to understand someone else's truth or reality, and that's okay. However, don't look at half the story then speak your opinions on something you clearly have not thought critically about. [/quote]
