Can confirm. Grew up in the hood. Went to hood schools. I'm glad I had a dad to teach me things.

Yep same here grew up in hard-core hood with single mother. Feared for my life daily just walking home from school. It was me and one other white girl in that entire school, and we were regularly attacked because of our race.

You just put your finger right on the underlying problem; people who grow up without parents to teach them right from wrong.

Even in nature, if you release a cage-raised lion into the wild, it'll probably starve waiting for someone to bring it food.
