Some kids, believe they are entitled to everything today, and don't know what "earn it" means. I don't want to get into a contest, which news station is better, or which station is more to the point, because that's not the issue!! When kids are as evil as this, whether be black or white, then there is something really wrong in our society today. Nothing better then Family Unity and pride in mankind.

Beautifully said. We are all walking on eggs fearing to hurt others and yet there is a big problem that doesn't have an easy answer and I think it deals in part with the economic support of folks whose families should be caring for themselves. No matter what color they are. Even if the parents are not married, if they produce a child together than each is responsible to not only pay for that child but be a part of it's life. That isn't happening as much as it used to and I think if we pulled out a little on paying the bills than people would take over their own responsibilities. Perhaps that is too simplistic. I don't know the answers. I don't even know the right questions.
We cannot continue to blame society for lack of individual responsibility. I think that things are much fairer now in the work place for all people. Certainly not perfect but improved enough that if a person really wanted to work they could find it. We can't blame things on situations that occurred more than a hundred years ago as awful as that was. Many generations of immigrants have come to this country and proved themselves by working hard despite unfair prejudice against them. I think it is much harder for some races and ethnicities than others to make a good wage, unfortunately, but not impossible to care for themselves if they limit their family size and sacrifice like many of us did. I hope I am not being unfair.
I could be wrong and frequently am.
