that's the only way to treat some of these gibbons.
Do you remember the movie, Trading Places, with Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy? The premise of the movie was that a social experiement was bet on by two stock market tycoons; that if you take a white prominent member of society who had no prior criminal record, and was very successful and suddenly put him into a situation and made his life mirror that of a homeless criminal that he'd fall apart and be lost in the system. While on the other side, taking a poor black person who had a history of coming from a broken home, serving time in jail, no father figure that he'd fair as well as the rich white guy if put into that situation.
My point is that a lot of times Americans don't have a lot of faith in the education of black kids, or wayward kids. They think that if offered the chance that the kids would not participate in a learning program because of how they were brought up. That's not true at all. I think the first mistake we make as Americans is just writing off those who are poor, homeless, black, fatherless, and born out of wedlock. If you come to them the correct way with a promise that if they work hard that anything is possible, then give them the proper steps to follow (without having to depend on Affirmative Action) they can become prominent members of society of ANY color. Crazy Joe is a good example of what can happen with the proper motivation.
