If you want to see an example of the same thing happening in White America just look at the no bullying movement that's gripped public school systems. I'll give you a hint, none of them started in the inner cities.
I'm not saying that either case is right, but we are talking about kids and they do grow up most of the time.
It's just interesting to see that this phenomena has been uniquely branded as something a part of an out-group's culture when the same thing happens in the in-group and isn't necessarily attributed to their culture or skin color.[/QUOTE]
I understand all about boys will be boys and kids will be kids...I get it. This is a difficult point to make because I cant use percentages or any tangible numbers support it.
Perhaps gang involvement by teens race would correlate...or testing proficiency or something.
When you look at photos of Mike Brown flashing bloods gang signs it doesnt help.
Everybody stereotypes...but when it fits so often...like I said...it dont help.[/QUOTE]
