Somebody help me here. The crowd consisted of young men 16 - 24. Some wanted schooling. Well, if they're 16-18/19, can't they just go back to high school? Doesn't the city offer GED classes if people can't hack the regular program?

They want job training? You can't tell me that Chicago isn't full of proprietary schools offering training in everything from culinary arts to truck driving to massage therapy. The community colleges offer a ton of job-oriented programs.

What stops these people from opening the phone book, picking a school and a program and getting the training they want??? Why do they need the gubmint to hold their hands? (rhetorical question. we know why.)

I'm getting pretty sick of black people (and I'm one so I guess I can say this) crying 'poor me' without doing anything themselves to change the situation.

It's really sad that our Nation has so desended into politically correct nonsense that you felt obliged, on a conservative forum, to include this parenthetical comment.

Unmentioned is the fact that the race baiters shut down a training program at Washburn set up by the unions to train kids for the trades. Not enough of the right colors were represented so it is gone.

Jerkson makes me sick.
