As a Black 34 y/o man I am totaly lost for words as it relates to black youth. There is not a day that goes that I do not see black youth acting like animals and being disrespectful. I don't know who's worse the boys or the girls. It is no secret as to the way thwey act.
I have never seen anything like it before in my life. I guess when 70% are born to single family homes this is the end result. Please don't come in this thread blaming whites and racism. I am sick of it. These bad kids are the REAL terrorists. I am not as concernd about Bin laden killing as i am about black youth. Not all black youth but a hell of alot of them!!!
Before someone says it I'll say. I know white kids are unruley also but nowhere near this black youth. I mean i see it every single day. On occassion I'll see white kids acting out but I will say they are always respectful towards adults.
I'm not talking about small towns. I said inner city!!!
Given your position there "close to the action", ChicagoRon, what in your opinion can be done to turn this around? Any ideas ? Or do you think it's too late?...

I'm practicing freedom of speech. If it's not you cup of tea move on!
You're sure touchy tonight. Loosen your bullets a bit there, sheriff. So mfar, you're pretty much just aiming to **** everyone off. Maybe the disrespect thing comes from poor role models- know what I mean?
Education is the key.Getting these kids to stay in school and learn. easier said than done, for sure. Truly a tragedy.
I think it goes back to the family. It's a learned issue. Proper family values and discipline tends to make for more respectful children.
