> I have four black adopted children. We live in a very non racial part of the country. Unfortunatily the news is causing the first race blowback for my kids so far in their lives, they are mostly in their 20s. Not pretty.
I have seen the effects first hand of bad and good parenting in the streets as a former LEO. I have also seen the vast differences between American and Afican cultures where the races do not even resemble each other in the slightest. In Africa there are some tribes with brave warriors that are men of repect who would laugh at the spoiled children and thugs we have over here who think they are tough. They are also very spiritual in nature and are very respectful.
My kids are wonderful, employed, faithful, intelligent and sweet. I am most fortunate.
