You're absolutely right. In many of these cases, the mothers of the deceased Black criminals rush onto the scene, collapse, and then cry to reporters, "Why'd they kill my baby? He was a good boy! He ain't done nothin' to nobody!" I believe that these grieving mothers actually believe that, but they are truly as dumb as a box of nails. I'm not sure what the solution is because preventive intervention almost always fails. For example, any suggestion whatsoever that they control their children, teach them right from wrong, and ensure that they respect other people and the law is always met with an outburst in which they level charges of racism against anyone who even broached the subject. They're extremely violent themselves, and they absolutely resist all efforts to help them to stop losing their children to violence. Beyond that, it sure as hell isn't the responsibility of society to guide them or teach them how to rear their children, but it is the responsibility of citizens to protect themselves and their loved ones from dangerous criminals, and it is the responsibility of the police to hopefully stop criminals before they hurt or wrong innocent people. Blacks would be well advised to learn those lessons, and to teach both to their children today. When I was a lad, if I acted out at home, or disrespected my parents, my friends, my teachers, or any elders in the community, my father disciplined me a leather strap. All of my friend's fathers did the same. Kids were disciplined at school, at each other's houses, and at their own homes. The standards were fairly uniform across the community. It was not uncommon for my mother to discipline a friend and me at the same time, or for a friend's mom to discipline us both at the same time at her house. It was quite common across the community, and behavior was generally fairly good. Of course, we did the things that most boys did, and when we got caught, we were disciplined and we usually didn't repeat the misbehavior. We were very respectful of our elders. Although we were not little angels, the wrongs we engaged in were nothing remotely like the wrongs of many Black kids today. We didn't know what drugs were when we were kids. We thought of drugs as medicine such as aspirin that your mom sometimes gave you if you had a bad headache, or maybe cough syrup if you had a cold. We also didn't think about taking guns to school. Guns were for hunting. The thought never occurred to any of us to bring a gun to school. The idea was nonexistent. The thought damned sure never occurred to us to back talk a teacher, much less hit her. Again, the idea was nonexistent. Today, the exact opposite is true in society and it's getting worse all the time. Even first graders, usually Black kids, are bringing crack and loaded guns to school, and their parents are daring anyone to say a word about it, or else! They're actually getting away with it! Kids routinely threaten and beat up teachers, or they have their angry parents come to school and beat the teachers up. Usually, very little happens to the perpetrators, assuming that anything happens at all. It's just unbelievable, but true.
