What I found even more ludicrous was a talking head saying that the teacher was provoking her!  That she should have backed down and run away until the girl calmed down!

And those clowns are the ones reading Dr. Spock and dont know shit!

Reiki,

Actually, look at inner city violence. It's largely BLACK ON BLACK. Look at who's exploiting who in these communities; it is quite often minorities exploiting their neighbors who are working hard to try to better themselves.

The white community has an appalling PAST history of racism. And, no doubt, there are SOME instances in the present. But I assure you that I, a scruffy looking white guy, have been pulled over for no reason enough times to conclude that the problem isn't based on RACE.

The issue here, though, is that minorities too often play the "victim" card. When individuals like Bill Cosby stand up and preach accountability to the masses, they're dubbed "Uncle Toms". The cry for reparations is louder now than ever; conclusion, these individuals want a FREE LUNCH at the expense of the American taxpayer.

I, too, have a dream, reiki, and it's not that dissimilar from Mr. King's. It's a dream when my child doesn't have to deal with the arrows of guilt being hurled at her for being born white, but is seen as an INDIVIDUAL, accountable for her own actions, and unable to pawn her poor decisions off onto society.

Poverty is not an excuse for a violent, destructive culture. It is NOT an excuse for criminality. To cast black thugs in the role of political activists is to ennoble a culture not worth ennobling.

This thread was about personal responsibility, reiki. Your response is about denying it in favor of blaming race for one's misfortunes.
