[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 1089746, member: 9789"] There is not one reference to black in post 4812 ??? Now look at post 4813. We have to get past this race thing. It does nobody any good MOST IMPORTANTLY, those folks who need our help. The last thing we need to do is give people an excuse for bad behavior. But we need to get these kids off the streets, provide role models from within the community. I am one generation removed from growing up on the south side of Chicago. My parents grew up there. I worked there in a theatre during summers as a teenager. It was completely black area back then. Nowadays, I find it extremely sad that as a white person 99% of us (unless you are packing) are afraid to cross into a particular zone in fear of our life. We need to find a way NOW to fix this problem constructively. I personally think that it can be done. OPPS! I did go back just now to 4811. Discount my finger pointing (SORRY) but I did not see any racism in the post. It might be raw but I think it is on point discount the raw part. [/QUOTE]
