    I absolutely agree! I think that as soon as an incident such as this occurs, it behooves the instructor to state firmly and clearly that such immature behavior will not be tollerated!

    Contrary to what white supremacists would have you believe, there is no genetic racial predisposition to crime. The FBI keeps statistics for crimes according to race and gender, but they do not have statistics controlling for socioeconomic background. Black people are disproportionately represented among the ranks of the impovrished. Poverty begets desperation and, in some cases, lawlessness. Granted, there are many, many poor people who do not engage in criminal activity– the majority, in fact. However, when presented with a legacy of seemingly inescapable poverty, people will often simply take what they need. ____________________
