[QUOTE="728ups, post: 1177006, member: 33372"] Color and race isnt the issue here,rather Culture is. I have been desperately trying to lead the horse to water on this issue but seem to be failing. Lets forget race for a brief respite ,shall we? For GENERATIONS the people in the Projects,Ghetto,et al come from a culture that shuns education( it s equated with Domination from the ruling class) and has been taught by the Ruling Class to depend on the government for basic needs,(and yes more children = more government money is certainly one thing that has been taught by the government)and dare I say have been taught by the ruling class that escape is impossible. A Culture who grwos up with Liqour and Check Cashing stores on every corner,to whom Crack is to them as Alcohol is to the Middle Class Culture. A Culture that For GENERATIONS has its children see crime as 'get-rich-quick ' and join gangs(also for 'family' bonding) These gangs often translate into short term gang for the youth..this of course leads to the need for more jails,more courts ,more police officers,more attorneys,more judges( I'm guessing you can see who benefits from this:yes the Ruling Class) and yes I am very much putting this in a 'nutshell' so to speak. Time and Bandwith limit me from explaining the Culture that the Ruling Class has established much further So lets review: we have an established CULTURE that simply cannot,and nay will not see nor understand the prevailing Culture that those of us are from.To judge these people from The Culture viewpoint of the Middle Class makes no sense. The $25,000 question is of course: how do we change That cultures perception? Money can be thrown at it,but that,even under the best of circumstances,is very short term gain. I have ZERO illusions that if i went to West End or Fourth Ward in Atlanta I'd be quite lucky to escape with my life,if I tried to 'help' or make changes. The culture HAS to change from within,and the person that has the answer as to HOW to change from within is far smarter than I. [/QUOTE]
