I actually have empathy for the 30 or 40% of black people who DO graduate from high school, go to college, get jobs, marry the person they love, raise their kids correctly, go to church and stay moral.
To grow up in a culture like they have to: 80% kids born out of wedlock, less than 50% graduate high school, all the cracked out drive-by idiots,…Must be tough. No wonder many flee to the military, as they do.
I’ve stayed quiet about you long enough. Where in the hell do you get your stats from? I really want to know. Having grown up in both the rough neighborhoods and the suburbs and such, I really want to know. You strike me as the type of individual who is more or less a non-entity in the real world. Someone who is constantly overlooked or unappreciated. Someone who, outside of your classroom, has no life and no self-esteem.
That is, of course, until you get on the internet. Then you can live your life as though you’re someone else. Someone better, or more accurately, someone worse. While I’ll admit that I don’t necessarily agree with the victi-cratic belief system some of my fellow minorities believe in, you are someone who is both ignorant and inflammatory just for the sake of being both.
As a black man who was born out of wedlock, part of your supposed 50% graduation rate, drug free, non-violent, and possesses above average intelligence on most subjects, you offend me. Oh, and I’m in the military. I didn’t flee to it. I opted to serve MY country. You really need to sit back, push away from the keyboard, get dressed, and step out to the real world. Today’s world. Things have changed quite a bit. Pity you seem to have missed it all.
Feel free to PM me if you anything else to say, or you can go on the defensive here. Doesn’t matter, really, because you don’t matter.

Jeez, do you want me to Google EVERYTHING for you?
Can you Google Bill Cosby, for crissakes?
