I don't think it is so much a refusal to learn, but some people are trying to justify their ill feelings towards Blacks. However, once you adjust for poverty, as well as education and family status, alot of things change. One thing to consider. Single men tend to commit more crimes than married men, and this goes across all ethnicities.

I have to say, I'm not very impressed.
This isn't about addressing crime statistics. This is about the fact that race alone is not the one factor. He even said that when adjusted for poverty, crime rates will look different. I will add to that. When adjust for education, family status, and employment status, crime statistics will look different as well.

I don't know what the kid's profile was or what happened to him. All I can do is guess. Anyone who might attack a teacher shows a lack of respect towards authority. And he is a huge kid, so he might have thought "I'm bigger than you so I'll take you out". I would have to consider whoever was raising him did a poor job of doing so.

This goes back to parents not raising their kids with respecting elders. I bet he was only taught to respect his Momma but not anyone else.

It's disgusting and very sad. Meanwhile, how is the 66 yr old???

Sadly, too many people who have no business having "any" kids end up having them anyway. It shows in their total lack of parenting. Kids run wild like an animal. I'll take that back. Animals behave better than what we see in so many of our young people. It's tragic.

Yes, yes, if Barack HUSSEIN Obama had a son he would resemble this thug also.

Will Barack HUSSEIN Obama stick his nose into this case also ?
I think you have your facts mixed up. When did the president defend a black kid that punched a school bus driver in the face?
