Thugs in Atlanta? Bad parenting, bad politics, what? (taxi, bus)

[MarqueseGilmore]

Its all politics and the upbringing!! A politician would rather have the rich neighborhoods safe with no gang activity.....So the gangs can fight over a block as long as they fight in their own neighborhood. Once it leaks into "Rich City" thats when action takes place. But Middle Class people and people really wanting to just make it are the ones hurt!!! I say its upbringing because I've seen many cases where parents let the streets,tv and other outside sources raise their children but don't take a second to praise their child,Raise them or spend time with them. Some times the parents are on crack or another drug.

See now your speaking on what other people can or can not do. My mother raised me and my two sisters....NO Help!! She only got so much money every month but we all came out great. I've graduated college aswell as one of my sisters. My other sister has a corporate job and never went to college. I know alot of single mothers who do the best they can. They're very few who dont!! But don't put everyone in one bowl......thats called prejudice!!

Garbage produces garbage. The question was asked where do "thugs" come from and why or something along that line. You can be in denial all you want. Low class dysfunctional people, come from low class dysfunctional people. Who you know down the street is hogwash.

Are your parents good people? Your siblings.....do you all have the same mom and dad? If no, how many baby daddies does your mom have under her belt? Will your defensive response be "none of your business?"
