Hi De! Just arrived at the hotel in Cleveland.
You raise an intriguing question. I wish I knew that answer but I believe it gets down to parenting in the home. I know my own kids do not "parent" the was we raised them.

But as you know parents MUST become teachers and examples to the young ones because that is how kids learn at home. By EYES and EARS.

I am not able to speak to how many children of black parents are actually taught right from wrong. My wife and I went out of our way to instill these values in our toddlers as well as raise them in Sunday school and Church and made sure they were in the Youth Group at Church and under the leadership of a youth Pastor and we were always there to assist the Pastor.

It is sad to see so many young black youths winding up on the bad side of events. Unfortunately it is something that I have no answers as to why....

Re: "They eveidently have been let down by adults in their lives who did not teach them right from wrong"I doubt it has escaped anyone's attention that, most of the time, these are BLACK kids.

The reason I looked up "Corey" was that, because of his name, I thought he was probably white. (Corey Feldman, Corey Haim, Cory Monteith, Cory Doctorow... I forgot about Corey Booker.) And a white kid getting killed while breaking into someone's home would have been unusual. (We'll gloss over dead kid #2, Ali Mohamed, for now. Nobody would have mistaken HIM for white.) Lo and behold, Corey Teixeira turned out to be black.

Why are the kids who commit these crimes (and sometimes pay the ultimate price for it) so often black? I've got my theories, but I'm curious what you guys think. Don't say "Because they don't know any better." That's self evident. The question is, WHY don't they know any better? That's what needs to change.
