I hear stories about black people selling drugs and shooting each other. I guess I should be afraid of black people.

It's funny how some of you call Obama supporters media whores, yet you're buying into the same bullshit when you express fear and distrust of young people because some kid in a hooded sweatshirt is "loitering" outside your house. Put the handgun back under your pillow and wait for him to be inside your house before you freak out.

People who deal in distrust and criticism of young people because they're young aren't doing so because they're mature; they're doing it out of fear.

Also, please read what I wrote. I didn't say kids who do as they're told are stupid. I said any kid who does exactly what he's told is stupid. Substitute "kid" with "person" or "dog" or "dolphin" if it makes you feel better. I often did what I was told when I was a kid, but not just because I was told to do so.

And I feel sorry for the man who can't see the value in a good bit of foolishness.
