I was raised in a military house. We lived next to white, black, Filipino, and Mexican/Puerto Rican. I learned about people and types. color is only one part of the equation. More than anything, it is lack of respect for others. That is something only found at home!
My daughter learned the things she needed. She is a mom, now and raising a fine young man (his 5th b-day is Saturday). He knows how to handle bullies, now, too! His hero is Chuck Liddell, and he just got a mohawk!
Good for your daughter.I find that military families seem to be much more comfortable in-excuse the cliche-"diverse"environments.Its something they are used to on a day to day basis.
I'm not one to make excuses for these black kids.You do wrong and you should be punished.I don't care WHAT your background is.Yet most of these kids come from HORRIFIC home situations and although they may flaunt how"bad"they are at school,at home and on the streets they are a split second away from GETTING the same kind of hurt they inflict upon others.
