There is a problem and it comes from the leftists in this country. They promote non family values and they destroyed our school systems and just listen to the hate that comes out of their mouths. That is why there is a problem. Teaching peopel to hate this country from womb to tomb is not the answer. Without morality there is no chance of there being a fix for this problem.

It’s racist to try to civilize them - that would be making them “Act White”.

Perhaps Professor Gibbs should go to Ferguson and rescue some of those young people. She could write them a thesis or something.

How does one rescue someone that believes lies?

Sterilize the single mothers, remove all bastard babies and send them to be raised by conservative Christian home-schoolers in rural settings.

The current crop of ferals will mostly self-erradicate or go to prison.

Communist Goals (1963) Congressional Record—Appendix, pp. A34-A35 January 10, 1963

http://rense.com/general32/americ.htm

11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind.

12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.

15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

18. Gain control of all student newspapers.

19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.

20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.

21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression.

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a “religious crutch.”

28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”

29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs

30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.

36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.

37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.

38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies.

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use [”]united force[”] to solve economic, political or social problems.

"Michael Brown had graduated from high school and was about to enter a local college, said his mother, Lesley McSpadden."

Well, there's a question answered.

Hey, I’m a Christian Conservative white male.

My dad left when I was 6. I’ve never done drugs or alcohol, never robbed anyone or anything, did my own homework, got myself a job, learned to save MY money and buy a home, etc...

This I did because I CHOOSE a certain standard of living for myself and my children. I was thinking of this even as a teen. MY future, -Not about being ‘Cool’ or ‘tough’ or having street cred or whatever... and screwing up the rest of my life.
And then blaming it on ‘the system’ or ‘the po-po’s’ or whitey or who/whatever.

That’s a cop out.

It takes a PARENT to teach a child RIGHT from WRONG and morality and ethics. Not too hard to do.

This isn’t just a race problem. There are neighborhoods near me that are predominantly white and are the same way.

It’s a CULTURE of “I can do what I want, when I want, to whom I want and ain’t NOBODY gunna get in my way or I’ll beat them down”.

It’s attitude. Black Liberation Theology is behind it. So sad.

The victims of "urban youth" are typically the ones who need to be rescued.

Every time I read tripe like this,I want to send the author a copy of the book, “Bell Curve”. That book explains in stark detail why there are problems in the black communities.

We continue to make excuses for this crap and wonder why it never changes. Slavery, racism, poverty, single mothers, culture - ad infinitum.

The tragic death of Michael Brown, a college-bound black male

College Bound ??

Yes, college.

That's where the wimpy rich liberal kids are, making it is a target rich environment for a brutish parasitic thug who lives by intimidation and thievery.
