[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Y'all are showing your white privilege. Happens often in Baltimore even younger. 10 year olds assault adults usually in the fall for gang initiations.[/quote]

It’s white privilege to think it’s crazy that a 12 year old is a carjacker?!  Come on!  [/quote]

Not PP, but I understand where they're coming from. I think they're invoking "white privilege" in that a lot of whites really don't grasp what the world is like for very poor, inner city black kids. A lot of whites from a certain class/economic background (including myself until I worked with kids who got initially a bad roll of the life dice) have a lot of trouble fathoming any kid that age being capable of committing a very adult crime. I wouldn't take PP personally.[/quote]

DP and I’m not White.

The PP is offensive.  Do you think there aren’t poor whites, especially in rural areas, who get caught up in drugs and crime really young?

I went to NJIT, which is located in Newark and spent lots of time volunteering in the community.  I am the PP who has a 12 year old.  I do understand that lives of youth living in the inner city is much different, but I am still appalled by this.  It has nothing to do with anyone’s race.

By complaining about the other PP’s ‘white privilege’, that poster is being unnecessarily dismissive and condescending.  More so because you truly have no idea as to the race of anyone posting. [/quote]
