Another dead minor in Chicago, and no one has the guts to talk about, let alone address why this is happening. It’s not because of gun laws. In 2009 Derrion Albert was beaten to death close to Fenger high school on the Chicago south side. He was a good student and not involved in the fight between two gang factions (one of the gangs was from Altgeld Gardens, where Obama did community organizing). Still, he is gone.

There are a lot of things that contribute to why this happens, but essentially none of them is the subject of much conversation or debate, let alone attempts to correct them. Violence is part of the inner city culture, and in many ways this is glamorized by the entertainment industry - to the point that suburban kids try to emulate the glamorized aspects of this ‘culture’.

How does it happen that children and young adults grow up without an appreciation for the sanctity and value of life? What gives young women/girls the idea that getting pregnant at a young age, while unmarried, and becoming young single parents without an education or a job is a good idea? Why are high school drop out rates so high in the inner city? What insightful and passionate responses have we heard from the politicians who ask these same communities to vote for them? Midnight basketball? More welfare assistance?

Obama and the rest of the left are gutless ideologues who don’t have the integrity to admit what they are wrong about, and/or the courage to address these things substantively. It doesn’t matter, as long as they can depend on the votes.

Leftist culture teaches them at a very young age they're victims of anything that creates a burden on them. Abortion eliminiates one of those burdens. If abortion works for one burden, why not abort other burdens as well?
You see, where ever theres a victim, some else has to be the villian. The victim gets to chose who the villian is, and who deserves to be aborted to eliminate the threat of that burden.

The politicians steal for the freeloaders. If a politician doesn't do the stealing, they feel they're forced to steal for themselves.
If a politician won't "abort" their burden, they feel they're forced to abort that burden themselves.

The culture of different races of people is certainly a societal phenomenon. I have read where intelligence, i.e. ability to develop change, of different races can be plotted as a bell shaped statistical grouping. I believe that similar groupings can be made for other societal behavior/activities. I believe that in such sport/athletic activities as baseball, basketball and football black skinned persons as an entire racial group have demonstrated to have an edge over other ethnic groups. This does not exclude a member of any other racial group from being in the high performing envelope. There are cultural envelopes for most if not all societal functions. I also believe that differences of cultural performance/capabilities can be the result of human existence from ages past even if not traceable to the beginning of divergence. For me it is a shame on humanity today to disregard or hide these God created cultural differences.
