I am guessing you didn’t venture into downtown Greenville, or Spartanburg SC.
You touched the civilised part of that elephant.
Trust me, you are currently ‘charmed’ as you suggest.
Having written that, it IS appropriate to point out that a broad brush applied to “blacks” paints **MANY** incorrectly and unfairly. We truly have MANY friends, including 3 of our 5 proximate neighbor houses who are “black” or interracial households. They are happily married, have great kids etc etc. Great neighbors too. Willy next door teaches me how to grow vegetables worth eating from the crappy GA soil, and I help him with power tools. Pauline brings us sweet potato pie and drinks wine on the back deck with my wife, and I fix their leaf blower and garage door. Tommy and Jerry will out work any of us, any day.
What we share is a culture, a set of values and principles. We don’t share close geneology or pigmentation.
The ‘students’ described in this text are not ‘our’ (our neighborhood) peers in any way, shape or form. Yet they share our schools and our $$ value chain.
The tragedy here is that we seem unable to have a pulic dialog about the reality written here. It is racist and forbidden to ‘go public’ with such thoughts! And all these kids are LOST to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Deliberately so, due to the actions and policies of liberal democrats who see them as worthless except for their ability to keep them voted in.

The corrupt Democrat who pushed the Great Society.
I’ve seen this article posted on many forums.
It makes Lib’s heads explode.
They deny and cry racist.
That was a great post. Thank you.
Anyone who seeks to paint with a racial brush would do well to consider the Justice Thomases, the Walter Williams and the Thomas Sowells. Brilliant men all...who operate on a higher level than me.
It's culture. My friends and I (some black) have our own word when we see destructive behavior..."Ghetto."
