[QUOTE="rturner76, post: 75875486, member: 284067"] Yes, I saw this first hand when I worked in the public school system. I would ask students what they are going to do when they grow up and it was the same NBA or a rapper. I actually agree with pretty much everything you are saying here. There is a self-destructive culture at work in our communities. People dying over a street that they don't even own. I'm sure you know that if the successfully run black gangs could stop murdering each other and establish some kind of organization on a national level (like all other ethnic gangs), the violence could stop and communities could police themselves. The Panthers did all of this, built schools and daycare centers as well as employment agencies. That was until the leadership was assassinated and locked up systematically. How do you get millions of young people to change their ways? How do you turn poor communities into affluent ones? How do you break the cycle of sex, drugs, and violence that is spread all over the nation? I think we can agree that racism does exist but it is an individual's responsibility to overcome their obstacles. What do we do with family members and friends who are caught in the cycle of sex (baby-making), drugs (addiction and selling), and violence (domestic and gang-related)? Lock them all up? Is there any hope of rehabilitation for these people? [/QUOTE]
