I think that wgarey was questioning the comment that linda made about, ” Same old story. Black. Young. In trouble,”. By asking the question, ” Young whites aren’t committing crimes?”, wgarey was insinuating that young whites are committing crimes just as the youth of the black community.

Young whites do commit crimes, it doesn’t take a high IQ to recognize that statistic, but young blacks are killing off their own race at an alarming rate. Why is the black community not responding to these deaths, there should be an all out campaign among our leaders in this community to stop or at least slow it down.

Same old story. Black. Young. In trouble. Have you people not had enough of this? I dont live in beautiful old Mobile. But if I did, I would be on the street protesting this unnecessary crime.
