[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The real sad thing is these kids do not seem like "Ghetto" kids-the ones who spoke sound well spoken and are likely from the area which is a middle class town.  They are not "street thugs", and yet they still behave unlawfully and disrespectfully.  This is not a race thing at this point, it is a cultural thing!  Similarly in PG county, there is a ton of wealth, and a ton of middle class-yet the schools remain horrible and it is pretty much a crime ridden unsafe place.  How does one explain that-is it a lack of regard for obeying laws, is the money obtained unlawfully, or is is just a class/not race thing?[/quote]

I agree, what you say is real and sad. I have no idea if it is related to the "acting white" or "no snitching" BS, but that culture is corrosive.

And the saddest thing, to me, is that many (apparently AA) posters in this thread are justifying their behavior. Everything the kids did and said is normal course of business--what else can you expect from a bunch of teenagers![/quote]
No one said anything you asserted. I hate to tell you, but that whole "acting white" thing is a cultural misnomer that has been dispelled. There have been studies that show that that whole idea is no more prevalent among black kids than the parallel idea of calling someone a "nerd", in other words, it's the same difference and doesn't happen to black kids more than white kids. And I've been black all my life and no one has ever told me to stop "snitching". If you have a problem with poor behaviour, then why don't you go to Indiana give a piece of your mind to those woman brawling in the Walmart. [/quote]
