8. Um no, I would assume that white kids listen to rap because they do.

I'm not a kid, I'm white, and I listen to rap. I have for years. Why would you think whites don't listen to rap? That is a weird statement in 2015.

I've also spent years in the schools down here, so no Californiasplainin' is necessary. The entire country is dealing with violence in schools. Whites fight whites...everyone fights everyone. Good lord.

Of course this one fight cannot be attributed to any one thing. But you are extremely blindered if you cannot see the change in our society in the last 20 years.

Violence and nastiness seems to be the answer to everything.

Several years ago I worked in an office with several young WHITE girls. Their favorite pastime was watching girl-fights on the internet while on the clock. I was appalled then, and that was my first exposure to what youngsters seem to find amusing these days.

You want to make everything about race, then you totally miss the point. These are CHILDREN who need good role models. Our society sucks and is not giving them that. My opinion. Yours may differ and you're welcome to it.

Go on with your bad self calling me a racist. You know nothing about me

However, I remember you well from days past here on DU. Oh yes, I certainly do. I think that our conversation has ended.

Have a good evening.
