“Someone is teaching these kids”
I remember hearing a school teacher tell about a conversation with a young black child about the reason he was late for school.
He said “my daddy’s car wouldn’t start and I had to wait until he went out and stole a battery”.
He said it to the teacher. These kids are being raised with the idea that theft is OK.
I had a black grandma come in to visit her son in Lansing, Kansas State Penitentiary, she came in monthly and during small talk she told me that she was glad to have the correctional system. She said that “today she was going to visit her son and tomorrow she was going to the Kansas women's prison to visit her daughter and then she was going to visit her grandson in juvie up in Atchison and at least she knows they are staying out of trouble and taken care of properly”.
