How do we know you wasn't born in a charity hospital by tax payer's $$$? And comparing innocent babies to adult killers, sounds like racist trash!

I ain't no "racist", dood! I have nothin' against Indians, Texicans, Chinamen or Japanzies....people who work for a livin'.

In N.O. them "innocent babies" become "adult killers". They know no other way.

People can scream racist crap all they want but truth be known most of it comes from truth. And I mean most and if you haven't realized that then you haven't gotten out enough in different areas. If you don't have that desire to see it for yourself, then you have other options: pick up a newspaper, turn on the news, or get a map of crime stats and try to deny the truth. Although first hand view is the best method, the others will get the point.

I'm with salty, long as you work for what u got and not screwin others to get it then you a good dude in my book, but don't sit there and try to label someone as a racist because their eyes are open and aren't blind to the truth

btw this isn't directed at lpfishntim, this is just general consensus that I have on people bashing about being racist when all the person did was state a truthful fact

I can agree with that. I've been around N.O., I've lived in Baton Rouge in a very racially diverse neighborhood and I know for a fact that everyone has the potential to do something great with there life regardless of race. I don't choose or want to be ignorant about the truth. I have a degree in Criminal Justice and I know the statistics are high for black men to commit violent crimes and street crimes, But in reality not every person in the black race grows up to be a criminal. Sorry If I offended you Salty you might not be racist, but stereotypes aren't always reality!

btw living in walker is a 100x better than living in Baton Rouge. I can sleep at night not having to hear traffic, car stereo systems, trains, gun shots etc. and FYI I live in a nice restricted subdivision that isn't trashy!

When people refer to racism, they are talking about blacks 99.99% of the time. Why is that? Because there are more blacks than other races, or, maybe because the other races work? Like "W", I have worked hard all my life and have instilled the same in my kids. Raising them in a "welfare" town made that a chore, in itself, but I am proud of the way both of 'em turned out. Was it easier for me to teach them because I am white? Was it easier for them to learn because they are white? If you think I'm a "racist", you, my friend, are colored-blind. The blacks are the ones that have played the "race card" since the beginning of time.

A father makes a big difference for everyone in society, the problem isn't that a person is black or white or any race, its there belief, there practices, ethics, and how they were raised. the social problems that we face these days is a lack of fathering and yes that is a major problem in the black community too and as fft warren said its a matter of truth.

there is a number of things we can point our finger at and criticize, issues, people, politics and groups but if we never do anything to help solve the problem then we are nothing but hypocrites who are part of the problem.

and as earlier I apologize for that first comment.

You didn't offend me.....I just want you to know where I stand.

I agree, somewhat, that the absence of a father is part of the problem in "minorities", but, pardon the pun......alot of it is "monkey see...monkey do".
