I mentored some inner city kids this past school year in Detroit. Third to seventh grade. It was a after school program and I was the only white in the place. They were polite and respectful kids. They built lego robot kits with enthusiasm and were eager to learn MS Movie Maker and Photoshop.

I'm guessing that once they hit their later teen years they'll become thugs through conformity. It's a sad shame. Some of them have real potential but that will quickly fade once they start to believe that whitey is the cause of all their plight.
