34. Huh?
You said that community members should take more responsibility for there communities by calling the cops on offenders, etc.

I said that the offenders are violent scary people and sometimes take revenge on those who turn them in to the authorities. I was inferring that maybe your view was a tad naive.

To clarify, I don't think teaching black history in the schools is a substitute for police OR national defense. :crazy:

I do think that teaching black history is important and can have a beneficial impact on people's lives. Eventually that impact may translate into an improvement in the community. But isn't that the purpose of all education? To improve people's lives and therefor benefit the larger community?
