If you have a child and it grows up with nothing but violence around it (IE...you hear gunshots in your neighborhood and it becomes commonplace)
then that child is going to think that it is perfectly OK to get a gun a blow people away whenever he gets into an argument!
Thus that child is going to become a thug....but here's the thing....IF THE PARENTS STOP THAT BEHAVIOR IN THE FIRST PLACE... THEN IT WILL NOT BECOME A PROBLEM LATER ON WHEN THEY GROW INTO A TEENAGER!!!
That guy was spot on in his views and I think he probably angered a lot of people in the black community with those statements, but they are the truth. And he is right...white people have just as many problems and are not perfect either.
But if a white person gets into an argument with someone in the neighborhood, the worst that happens is it usually breaks out in a fistfight.
They usually don't go home and both get their guns and try to shoot it out with each other.
You can walk away from most fistfights, but you usually don't walk away when you get shot with an AK 47!
So there is a lot of things I do not agree with Obama on, but one thing he said that I very much DO agree with is that parents need to take responsibility for their role in their kids growing up. If they don't NO FORM of legislation is going to fix that.
This is plain, ordinary common sense folks and that guy on the video seemed to have a lot of it!
