Systems don’t “groom” people: families do. It isn’t the “system” that romanticizes hip-hop; gang bangers; drugs and crime. The expanding Black sub-culture that scorns “acting white”; that scorns education, refinement, courtesy, hard work and responsibility grooms Black kids. Oh, heaven forefend that a kid who is tearing up a school; terrorizing other students; terrorizing teachers; dealing drugs and / or sexually assaulting other students should be put out of school. What a crock of crap!

What is a teacher to do when many in her class show zero respect, deliberately disrupt the class, challenge her authority, are physically violent to the teacher as well as other students, and are the size of full grown men? Is she supposed to sit there and just get clocked by one of these young criminals? Many of these “yutes” should be in cages, not roaming free.

“It is curious that blacks, the least educated thirteen percent of the population, the least productive, most criminal, and most dependent on governmental charity, should dominate national politics. Yet they do. Virtually everything revolves around what blacks want, demand, do, or can’t do. Their power seems without limit.”

Black lives don’t matter when that ‘black life’ is attempting to take a gun away from a police officer and kill him.

Black lives don’t matter much when they’re raping or beating a woman to death of any color or age.

Black lives don’t matter when they’re killing young children.

Black lives don’t matter when a group of ‘black lives’ is attempting to kill an innocent stranger...

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Oh - and the above? These ‘exceptions’ also applies to ‘white lives’... Chinese lives - Hispanic lives... Jewish lives - Quaker lives... even Unitarian Indian transgender lives. In short - everyone.

The best thing ‘blacks lives’ can do to have the rest of us seeing them as overly violent and criminal is to STOP being overly violent and criminal.

Period. It’s that easy. If people see you as a jerk - stop being a jerk.

Oh and eff the SPLC - it’s a hate group... and eff any FBI agents working with them.

The statistics still show violent crime by blacks is many times higher than violent crime by whites.

Blame whoever you want, but facts are facts.

“A call to end criminalization of black youths: guest opinion”

He’s barking up the wrong tree. He should be talking to the black criminals.

Is the mission of the SPLC to impoverish the law, depriving it of substance? It seems to be succeeding.

One wonders how she managed to get through High School, much less Law School.

“Typical teenage behavior”

The typical teen strong arms a clerk and steals cigars then attacks a police officer? The typical teen lays a trap for a police officer at a convenience mart by petty theft and then attempts to kill the responding police officer with a hand gun he had brought for the purpose? No agenda here I guess. In order to be revolutionary Marxists promoting black supremacy you have suspend rational though and just believe in the evil of your enemies.

The simple answer is that they are not judged for who they are but for what they do.

Stereotypes don’t get created in a vacuum, they get created as a result of the same thing happening over and over.

How do you “criminalize” that which is criminal? The author here is trying to “legitimize” crime. How is that going to create “civil” rights?

Suspensions do not help these children.

The suspensions are to preserve order and help the kids who want to learn.

The kids being suspended are disruptive and are destroying the learning environment. Our first duty is to the kids that want to learn. Otherwise you drag everyone down to the level of the losers being suspended.

The simple answer is low intelligence. Poor discipline as a child and a feral attitude.

Nobody wants to Accept this as a possibility
