290. My 2 cents.
Edited on Mon Nov-26-07 05:26 PM by Perragrande
I know a black lady, elderly, who takes in foster children. She has always tried to make sure the teenaged girls are on birth control, like the 12-week shot, or Norplant. However, one of her girls has two babies already at the age of 21 and another one who is a high schooler is pregnant.

She went to college for a couple of years at Dillard U., and I consider her to be pretty well educated and aware of what's going on. She told me the foster kids all watch rap on the TV set, they never watch the news or anything informative.

I was at her place one weeknight at 7, so I showed her where MSNBC was, and she watched Keith on Countdown for the first time!! She didn't even KNOW she had MSNBC on her cable lineup!!

She liked the show a lot.

This is in a rural area.
