All races have their problems, but I've never had a black parent or student ask me (a white teacher) to be treated differently EVER. Quit stereotyping. Your clearly live in a bubble and know very little about how other people live. I won't argue with you anymore.
And you accuse Penny of, "living in a bubble?" Do you read the newspaper? Do you watch the news? Have you looked at the crime statistics? You can scream about socioeconomics all you want, but I've looked at the "Color of Crime" and it isn't a stereotype. You see anybody telling the truth in a candid way as a "racist." I think a lot of us are just fed up and don't care about the PC anger and cries of racism from your ilk. It just doesn't work any longer. The facts are not with you - they are with those who candidly state that the problem of crime among young black males is simply out-of-control. Period. Do white people commit crimes? Of course! Do blacks commit wayyy more rapes, robberies, burglaries, muggings, on and on - than white people? YES! (Even though there are way fewer of them.) Why? I don't have the answers, but I clearly see the problem. Poor whites in North Dakota and Nebraska don't rape, rob and terrorize neighborhoods. Do they Kilgore? I would assume because it's not a part of their culture to not report crimes among those "of your own kind" so to not be labeled a "snitch" (Or whatever ghetto language they have for it today.) It's also not an anomaly either. Even with the increase in the educated black middle class (you know the ones "acting white", as they say) the thug gangbanger culture is mainstream among young blacks. Do you really dispute that? And because of that, it's a handed down culture of crime and violence. It's not just Oklahoma, Kilgore; in fact, it's not even just America.

Whatever the cause, whatever the reasons, whatever excuses --- the color of crime is overwhelmingly black - and increasingly brown. The percentage of "white trash" committing crimes is nowhere even remotely close to blacks.

You called Penny's logic "disgusting." I call it, "Sad but true." There's just not a lot to dispute when it comes to arguing the facts of crime in America and I'm sick of nobody being allowed to talk about it.

Call me a racist if you must, but never call me fearless to speak the truth.
