I agree with everything you said completely. I also agree with the PP a few posts earlier who had the two takeaways from this discussion that mean black kids at one school automatically mean all black kids are mean and that poor people have different (read: bad) values than wealthy people. Sad commentary.[/quote]

Prjeducies can arise from things that are passed down to those with no experience, or from false and general assumptions that are based on limited experience and incomplete knowledge.

There literally was not a single honor roll student at my 10% AA high school.  At college, the only black students I knew sold dope, got into vicious fights, or were struggling academically.  I went to graduate school and - low and behold - my black classmates were often brilliant.  Same in my professional career.   I'm not sure how I could have anticipated the later experiences when I was 14 or 19, but it's good things have changed for later generations.  It does get better.
