I agree.. though I don't know that I would call it adversity, per se... more tough work and long days.

Both of which are adversities for kids growing up. Not that those are bad qualities to have, but it doesn't make life easy.

Wake up early to do all of your chores, then go to school and struggle to stay awake, then once school is done its back to work. Finally get home around 8 or 9, exhausted, go eat dinner, and then attempt to do your homework before you fall asleep. No social life, no sports, nothing but work and school. And forget about going to college, because dad can't afford to have you leave.

Yup. Rural farm kids face zero adversity. And I know that's not what you're saying PKM, I'm more responding to some of the other people.

That is more along the lines of "it was brutal, but it made me the man I am today."

Compare that to someone living in the projects in true poverty, packed in tightly with so many people who are also living in poverty. All you see around you is desperation and hopelessness.

What makes the most sense to someone growing up in a rural setting that needs to make money? Work the land. What makes the most sense for someone in the ghetto? Hope for a job at McDonald's or sell drugs.

Both of my parents grew up in a farm town of 500 people in South Dakota (going to visit in 2 weeks woot woot), my Grandpa on my Dad's side still farms with the help of his nephew, so I have extreme respect for that lifestyle, but the two aren't comparable and you should be thankful for that.

Sorry, but this is nothing but NRA ********* propaganda. The gun laws within the Chicago City Limits are strict, but the city is literally surrounded by gun shops in the outlying suburbs where the gun laws are much more lax.

20% of all guns recovered from crimes within Chicago can be traced back to a single gun store in Riverdale, Illinois - which is less than 20 miles from mid-town Chicago

Right and the second you ban guns you turn the business over to a cartel.

Guns aren't rocket science and the people who want them will get them or make them.

Somebody in the ghetto has just as many opportunities to leave their area and better themselves.

It's time to quit making excuses for them and demand accountability.
 
Poor rural America just doesn't deal with chores and farming. Look at the countless poor white Americans all throughout the rural south. Many of them living in trailer parks. They also face drugs and poverty at very high rates as well. This "poor redneck" population is huge.

So again you can't just blame violence on poverty. Millions of American's people face poverty everyday and yet they don't turn to murder.

Lol. Look up black incarceration rates, they are definitely held accountable.

I know let's make them work the land like you. We can always whip them if they don't like picking cotton.

It's not necessarily "society" holding them accountable. It's their own populations that must hold themselves accountable. If you live in the ghetto all you hear is that "x" race or person keeps "holding them down." That might have been true decades ago. But not anymore. Yet, many of their own leaders are still on red alert acting as if we are in the mid 60s still. Look at how Sharpton and co. jumped all over this Zimmerman thing. You would have sworn Zimmerman had thrown Rosie Parks from the bus and sprayed a bunch of kids with a fire hose.

That part of our country's history is over. Rather than black communities... Especially their loudmouth leaders jump all over the racism bandwagon because that has been their schtick for decades and/or is so easy, how about they focus on the crappy parenting and lack of focus in obtaining education from the black communities?

If they focused on work (like the Latino populations have in south/central LA) rather than rely on the racism card, things would be a lot different.

Nope he shot a 17 year old in the chest with a handgun. Regardless of whether you feel it was a justified killing or not, it was the killing of a boy by a man.

While people of color make up about 30 percent of the United States’ population, they account for 60 percent of those imprisoned. The prison population grew by 700 percent from 1970 to 2005, a rate that is outpacing crime and population rates. The incarceration rates disproportionately impact men of color: 1 in every 15 African American men and 1 in every 36 Hispanic men are incarcerated in comparison to 1 in every 106 white men.

The war on drugs has been waged primarily in communities of color where people of color are more likely to receive higher offenses. According to the Human Rights Watch, people of color are no more likely to use or sell illegal drugs than whites, but they have higher rate of arrests. African Americans comprise 14 percent of regular drug users but are 37 percent of those arrested for drug offenses.

The U.S. Sentencing Commission stated that in the federal system black offenders receive sentences that are 10 percent longer than white offenders for the same crimes.

Institutionalized discrimination exists. I know that there are other problems with the black community but those problems do not in any way invalidate the problems of discrimination,bias, and inequality that are blatantly apparent if you actually look up the statistics.

Wasn't Rosa's twin sister thrown out of a Taxi?

On topic, not really, I do love to read through a bunch of white people who think the definition of "The Hood" is the front cover of the Lexus that their parents bought them when they turned 16, or "LOL, the thing that's on my hoody that makes it a hoody!!1". Please, stop acting like you all know what life is like for black people growing up in the projects, or whatever; you sound ****ing stupid. And wow, Thriller, remove your testes at once. Either that, or move to an island of 99 gay men, please. No more stupid babies, please!
