Look classic, I understand where Merc is coming from. There is still a lot of racism here, on both sides. Blacks are just as guilty of it as whites are. It was something I had to adapt to when coming back here after living in Los Angeles for 10 years, because I dont't feel that way myself.

I know someone who substitute teaches here in high school. From what she has told me, and she teaches all over in every public school, there really is a serious problem with the students. It is a small number of them, and while I don't know what the actual percentage is, she has said many of the people causing problems are black. There are actually two kids in 7th grade, one who is 17 and one who is 16. Those people should not be in school anymore if they can't get past the 7th grade at those ages. And Mary is not a racist.

My ex worked for a sound company that works all over. He worked the graduations in Macon GA for the past two years. There is one school there that is so bad, he was afraid to leave the sound booth. And he said it was the parents acting up as much as the students. That was a black school. There was only one white student in the graduating class.

When someone like Bill Cosby comes out and say things about how many people in the black community are raising their kids, people need to pay attention. It isn't about the whole community, it is about part of it. People like Jesse Jackson don't help the issue. And white (trash) people are just as bad now. Just look at Britney Spears.
