You’re saying that people in the same situation as him are not capable of love? That his entire family, and social group are sociopaths, that’s ridiculous.
Welcome to Free Republic!
I didn't use the word "sociopath", I said "dysfunctional" but I'll stipulate that's a moot point.
TM got himself suspended from school in Miami (2, 3rd time in the current year?). He was in possession of women's jewelry, a jimmy bar, and a baggie with marijuana residue. His mother sent him to live with her ex-husband because TM was "out of control".
The Ex let TM come and go as he pleased. The day TM died his dad didn't notice until the next day when he called police to inquire if TM had been arrested. So mom says she can't control TM and the Ex provides a crash pad with no apparent supervision, how are we doing so far?
Dee Dee may indeed have loved TM because by her words, "he didn't make fun of me". At least not to her face. A rather thin foundation for a lasting relationship.
The gang/thug culture regards displays of affection as a vulnerability and thus a fatal weakness. Female gang "hangers on" are referred to as "bitches and HOs" and are used as sexual toys by male members, not a person you'd bring home to introduce to your parents. The reality of ghetto life is 73 percent of black children are born outside marriage, compared with 53 percent of Latinos and 29 percent of whites. The resultant "families" lack a breadwinner who than defaults to the Federal Government. Single mothers have poor chances in the job market due to lack of secondary education.
I am saying that dark skinned people are no different than white skinned people. They have the same potential for intelligence, the same desires to make a place in the world, the same needs for affection from family and friends. Early on they escaped the "Plantation" and then were cruelly forced right back into a ghetto, funded and operated by the Federal Government. Some have the fortitude to escape their invisible confinement and join a growing black middle class (I really don't think we need two middle classes, lets just keep "the middle class") they are certainly welcome.
My thesis is not about a weakness in the character of dark skinned people, it is instead a damning of the malevolent influence of the Federal Government's social engineering which to date has destroyed the nuclear family in the ghetto and which has allowed the educational system to devolve into a chaotic wasteland. Drugs and crime run rampant and you seem to think that love is there, just below the surface. Good luck, you'll need it!
