Now before those who defend black people come out of the woodwork to cry 'racism' and that this is 'only a minority of blacks', there have been NUMEROUS incidents such as this in the past few years and most of these kinds of brawls if not all of them involve blacks students.

People have often blamed the US school system for failing black people, but when you see so many fights and violent incidents like this, is it not black students and their parents that are FAILING THEMSELVES? Namely even if you gave these students the best schools and the best teachers, how many of these students would actually take advantage and get a good education out of it? Seems like a fairly high number of them aren't really that interested in learning and school has become a place for them to simply hang out and mess around for a few hours each day.

8 White Station High Students Suspended After Fight - FOX13 News, WHBQ FOX 13

Here is a quote from one of the school officials:

Quote:
"I am very disappointed in those students and they will be disciplined appropriately," Superintendent Hopson said. "It also raises the question about what is going on in the home. There is a lot of anger out there, a lot of fighting and violence."
And a quote from a parent:

Quote:
"The last time I was there under these condition a kid had a gun there, and right before that my daughter had one of her wisdom teeth knock out by a student for no reason at all," Tashie said. "It still is the jewel and we are going to make sure it remains the jewel. We are taking the school back. We are not going to let thugs take over."

Memphis Police said there have been over 360 calls to the high school in the last three years but FOX13 News is waiting to find what were the reasons for those calls.
I've said numerous times that black parents have been failing their kids and many have been doing an extremely poor job of raising their children and time and again those who defend blacks have said I was wrong. So if I am indeed wrong, then why is it that the vast majority of these types of incidents involve mostly blacks? If black parents are doing such a good job raising their kids to be decent, responsible and caring people, then why do incidents like in this video or in another where a teacher was assaulted keep happening?

So the question is when are blacks ever going to admit that they are their own worst enemy and that things will never improve as long as they raise their kids to be like this? When will most black parents finally have the guts to say 'We have raised our kids poorly for far too long and its the reason why our communities are so violent and troubled for so many decades. Now its time to change things, stop blaming people and simply raise our kids right so that they have a chance at a better future.' Will that EVER happen?

Another lecture on how black people should raise their children and their communities?

Someone has to do it. The fact is that 12% of the population is causing 90% of these incidents, so there's some failing that we as a society have to confront.

Your conclusion does not logically follow your premise. Why do you assume that, absent some failure in society, the number of such incidents would be proportional?

The better question would be...How did things get this way? Was it this way in the 50s, 60s and 70s?

Oh, I get it. Another variation of the disproportion of crimes committed by certain racial groups compared to others.

Practically every other thread on this forum has been discussing this since the creation of City Data forum.

Yes it was in the 50s, before the breakup of the family that is often mentioned.

1958 Time magazine article: National Affairs: CRIME RATE: A FAILURE IN INTEGRATION - TIME

You have to pay to read the whole article on Time's Web site, but it has been posted here: National Affairs: : A FAILURE IN INTEGRATION | EUTimes.net

LOL. If Time wrote an article like that today, they'd be history. The false outrage from apologists, limousine liberals, TV pundits, the UsA MSM, race hucksters and certain politicians would reach heights not yet seen in America.

I recently checked out a book written in the early 1960's whose author was opposed to integration. It will be interesting to see if the library puts it back on the shelf. It wouldn't surprise me if the library didn't even knew that they owned a copy.
