I wish people would stop attacking races. Attacking a whole race based off of several people is unfair, foolish and ignorant. This is not a race thing, it's a class thing and the two are very different.

People are not very smart and therefore resort to that. They do not have the tools to discuss anything like culture, social class, and so on. It's all about "essential" identities - ironically, also the source of actual racism. Sadly enough, they actually believe these things.
P.S. We are a black family ...

I noticed.

With the Europe thing, I've been to all over Europe SEVERAL times and lemme tell you, depending on where you are it is no stroll at the park. Some parts are as ghetto as the worst here (not connected to race either).

Don't need to go to Europe. This has been pointed out many times here.
It is important for people to cling to racial definitions and absolutes because it protects them from the necessity for accountability; taking control and charge of their lives.
It's just "the way" black or white people "are."
In Harlem now, there are many more openly affluent black people. Not exceptions, celebrities or sports people, but people who pursued careers in law or business or medicine and made significant money. This is posing a challenge to these old and truly destructive beliefs, but it is also making people destructive in a different direction - still won't face the facts.
You should start with a command of the king's English.
You should add a critical understanding of the king's world.
And so on.

Yes, well, I would say that I warned you but I did not.
I DID say - This is what's out there.
I mostly care about the children in destructive environments ... that's the thing.

Great reply people, I am sorry that I do not place my ' appropriately while posting...but I really do not care, My message gets across exactly what I am saying... I feel like you clowns are just looking to pick apart anything. To use the classify minority "YOu ignant" sentiment. I have yet to see a person refute my comments with facts however.. You "disadvantaged" folks aka cry babies, really have no valid points or facts against my points, so you resort to english teacher BS... I speak the truth, anyone thats with reality can read my post and know I speak facts. My statements can never be rebuffed by facts. So I do not care. I hope all you liberals finally get a tried and true demo FANOOK in NYC Mayor office and he turns the city into a monkey cage like it was before the 1990's
