Thats the only problem I have. But because I love all people of all races and I know that every races has there issues I respect all class of people. One race is not greater than the other and all races have there mess....



P.S WHy would someone wanna create a thread like this one...
Not sure, but I was simply pointing out that you cant compare blacks and whites in terms of who does more of a particular thing when whites make up so much more of the population. Its not an apples to apples comparison.

"Never" is a long time. Look at Star Trek.

More seriously, I think the downfall areas ... regardless of race ... are a cultural issue as much as anything else.

Look at the role models people in many of those areas have.

Are those role models positive?

Do they provide incentive for people to improve themselves?

Do they want to improve the status quo, or glorify it?

As long as it's cool to disrespect authority, as long as people thing it's okay to engage in certain types of isolationist behaviors (on all sides), and as long as people don't care about education, you're going to have conflict, boundaries, and a lack of advancement.

It doesn't matter who you're talking about.

People love mess thats all anything negative they feed off of it like vultures. Anything positive is not interesting or its boring.

Just out of curiosity, why did you primarily pick examples from Dekalb County? What about Norcross, Powder Springs, Austell, Jonesboro, Smyrna, and parts of Roswell? (and ironically, I singled out Cobb County here)

For the same simple reasons:

1. Stir up controversy
2. Rile up the usual sides (black and white)

It never fails.

Want to get a high post thread? Put race, the word ghetto in it, and you have a recipe for disaster.
