  Jeff:
   Because it's sadly often the truth, and the truth hurts. They also 
are tried of being "singled-out" everytime there is a mention on the 
news about how certain diseases are more common in their race due to 
this activity, as well as the studies showing how their birthrate is 
so far above that of other races. It is sad, and I hate to see it, 
but trying to be "hip" I've watched a few rap videos and listened to 
the songs, and sex is a more common theme than drugs and murder in 
the songs. It's going to be an uphill battle for the good ones to 
disprove the facts and the stereotypes. We have several black 
families living on our street and they're all as nice and quiet as 
the rest of us. It's only the ones that move into the rental house 
down the street that always cause problems. Luckily they never seem 
to stay there very long and vanish in the middle of the night.
