Hi; and thanks for your response.
Yes, education is important. But how to get education to them, unless there is a solid family encouraging it? and unless we cease with all the incentives to NOT create solid families? Government can’t raise a child!
(Actually, my black co-worker, who found all of this rioting unbelievable, has very little education; he is basically a manual laborer. But he comes from a solid, loving family, and was raised with good values; and for all his lack of formal education, he is a wise man.)
We can offer all the opportunities we like, through government, charity, etc.; but there has to be a solid family, with aspirations, to bring the kids up into opportunity. The “village” can’t do that; only dedicated and devoted personal love can do that - and that’s “family”.
(Even if it’s only a single mother: see the story of Ben Carson :-)

Michael Brown had a father, thing is, just look at his Dad, doesn’t even care that his son robbed a liquor store..and look at the step-father, asking everyone to “Burn this b*tch to the ground” no wonder Michael Brown felt it was OK to behave like a thug, look what he was surrounded with, so I understand and your right..its also about environment, what your raised around..if you come from good values, a good family who supports their child getting a good education, a good paying job will follow..but if you teach your kid that the best way to succeed is to steal and harm people they won’t last long..like the saying goes, live like a thug and die like one
