"THE DISCUSSION"
|
We discussed the facts that society loves to create labels. One of his comments was in regards to the black/white focus, when living in LA he had far more problems, and his family did, with those of Hispanic origin. His thought was it was simply easier, and more acceptable, to go after "white" America. When applying labels.
We chatted as well about inner city schools and what you do with a youth that puts no value in education.
