I am not naive but I just want to be in an area where these behaviors anre't the norm. My oldest(13) has a blackbelt in taekwondo and I know he could handle himself but not against guns knives or those types of things. I hope that I don't come off as a snob because it is not my intention. I just don't want to throw my kids into a firepit and hope they come out burned.

I think the older generations overestimate the race issue. For the most part, today's kids don't see color. There will always be exceptions, there will always be those kids whose parents fill their heads with hate, but race becomes less and less of an issue with ensuing generations.
