Part of the reason for the civil rights movement is that blacks were sick of mob rule-being applied to them.
But look where we stand today.
The blame rests squarely on the truly sorry state of education in the US today.
You don't have to look far, not even off this section of the board, to see exactly what the problem is.

The blame rests squarely on the moral poverty many blacks live in...single parent or raised by grandchildren because Mamma or Daddy(whomever he is) is in prison for drugs is the true reason for this crap today. It is not education; as I can assure you after 35 years as an educator I cannot undo in 9 months what a sorry-ass parent has done in 13-18 years of zero parenting and supervision. Throw in rap music, graphically violent video games, and movies that glorify drug use, abuse of women, killing of cops, carjacking, etc. etc. and this is damage teachers can not undo. But; as usual, teachers make an excellent whipping boy for those who refuse to accept the moral decay and family breakdown in society today...especially among the Black population and it is approaching critical mass in the Hispanic population as well. Ask any law enforcement or education professional.
