It's a low life problem
Not everyone is grown equal
For the
racists good luck.
For those
who want to survive as best they can, good luck, too.
I am from
Atlanta, and have been through this drill, also.
For example,
low life and unsupervised kids can bring down a wonderful idea like the Omni Hotel
entertainment as it was originally constructed decades ago. Basically it had a theme park inside of a hotel.
That most of
these kids were black adds to the racial component.
But, to me,
they were at the time just low life people who eventually brought down a good
idea. Mostly it was overcrowding in my perception. It was also just a magnet
for young black and unsupervised kids.
And I am an
affirmative action fan, and believe in the diamond in the rough idea, too.
Heck, I have even taught at Atlanta University, a predominately black liberal
arts college consortium. A lot of well off black parents got ripped off, too,
or so is my opinion. I personally have met some smart kids from this college.
And I do want to exploit all the human potential in America.
But also,
and in America, it does not take a village to raise a child. It takes two
people to raise a child. And raising a child is usually a pain in the tail to
so many. All the Bill Cosby jokes seem accurate to me. Maybe the idea of "it
takes a village to raise a child" works in Africa, but I don't believe it
works very well in America.
Hence the
original Omni Hotel in Atlanta went down. What a shame.
