They have every opportunity. You keep refusing to justify your circular argument.
Poor kids who live in suppressed neighborhoods have little opportunities. White or black, it doesn't matter. But I don't know any white neighborhoods that are suppressed.

That''s because you live in DC and not in West Virginia.
You guys are just gonna keep posting falsehoods no matter what. The doggone link makes it completely clear that this had nothing to do with the honor roll or any black kid being smart.
But some of you are bound and determined to believe things that confirm your predisposed notions no matter what the truth is.
I guess I can then say 'these particular blacks' are racist since they think all blacks look a like?
How many white people live in neighborhoods that have no opportunity. I can't think of any, can you.
Yeah, isn't it terrible how some neighborhoods have no opportunity? Aren't there building codes that require that? What are people thinking when they construct these opportunity-free streets and houses in the first place? smh...
The actual count is not relevant. But I believe there were 15 or so arrests. And neither my brother or I are in that number. But that is a long and complex story that is all white guys and sheds no light on this thread.
I grew up in a neighborhood where the park was shared with a black neighborhood. Either get along or kill each other. We got along.
I also lived about 7 years as an adult in a neighborhood that was 80% or more black. Even went through a race riot on the wrong side of the police lines.
And You?
I've experienced urban living demographics weighted more heavily black, but for maybe 8.5 years. But my experiences in both white and black urban settings and white suburban settings is that I can count on just one hand the number of times fists have been thrown at me (or on one occasion a kitchen knife held to my neck) by people who weren't black.
You're missing the point. If this was 4 white kids beating up the black teenager it would be on the news 24/7 for the next 2 weeks and we'd see an endless parade of the typical race baiters like Sharpton trying to blame whitey for all the problems in the black community.
We all know this even if some don't want to admit it.
wow, so good grades is considered a white thing. What kind of grades must he get to act black?
Yes, good grades are considered a "white thing" but only if conservative media influences your thinking...
It's funny how some people like to make small one offs like this the black norm. But it's not going to work, because we're not going to allow you to paint our narrative.
LOL you know me so well. But I live outside of DC now. You should know that
OMG You've escaped...
