[quote=Anonymous][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[b] (apparently AA) posters [/b]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]

Hate to implode your ASSumption, but I am white and from the Deep South and am interested in this thread because I am a teacher. The adolescent brain is not fully developed. Teens don't have years of decision-making experience. The officer was a total clown. He escalated the issue and teens acted the way teens act. Officer should have behaved appropriately. But he didn't, and at least one white teen has spoken out about his racism.[/quote]

How can someone "implode" an assumption?

Scary, if you truly are a teacher.

And, enough with the adolescent brain BS excuse, look up the real research so you understand what it means. Other teenagers there behaved much more responsibly than the maniac teenager lady.[/quote]
