Why so much violence and mayhem in Wilmington?

I can't believe this woman would actually have the balls to suggest this. The teens who are running rampant all over Wilmington, violating anyone or anything that they want to, are suffering from PTSD from slavery. I think this joins the list of "I've heard it all now." I guess the black teens in Baltimore and Washington and Virginia Beach and Chicago and etc., etc., etc., are all suffering from the same thing.

Slavery was abolished in the United States in 1865. The 13th Amendment was ratified on December 6, 1865. One hundred and forty-nine years ago. These teens were never slaves. Their parents were never slaves. Probably their grand parents were never slaves. She says that what is going is not "natural." I would agree with that. They do not act like "natural people." They act like freakin animals.

I don't really want to continue because this really just aggravates me. I have never owned a slave in my life, my parents did not own slaves, and my grandparents did not own slaves. Now my great grandparents I don't know about because I don't know anything about them. They were dead by the time I came along. Yet, all my life I have heard how whites owe blacks something because WE kept them as slaves.

Does anyone have an idea of her 'education' ( or lack of) background?

Nicely put. Slavery is simply justification to act like animals

That is just an excuse to be evil. Unless they repent there is a burning Hell waiting for them. And with their lifestyle they will probably get there quicker than most people.

PTSD? No. Youth being disenfranchised yes. No education, yes. No good role models, yes. The mental illness she speaks of is general malaise due to not having to work for ANYTHING. If you want other examples from the other end of the spectrum look at Trust Fund children. Just as malaised. Just as disrespectful. Just as messed up. Only they have the money to buy their way out of most problems.

I dont think this is a bad comparison and I think it speaks a lot of truth about being handed something that you did not earn.
