I worked in the inner city for 30 years..often the only white employee in the agency .

What I saw made me very sad..Black parents teaching their kids that white people pick on them because of their color.. they are taught to hate whites and play the victim role at home.

Parents would tell me of incidents between their kids and a teacher or another authority, one I would have disciplined my kids for, and the parents told them the problem was the authority not their behavior.

I always felt bad for the kids, that were being raised as if this was still 1942 in the south..

My experience is that successful Black men came from homes that disciplined them and demanded excellence ..just like successful white kids..
The home and parents determine our future not our race .

The "Bill Cosby Effect", eh? Wonder why more 'people of color' don't follow HIS lead instead of HolyO's "Here's a handout, and there's more where that came from" mentality.
