i didnt know that people raised in africa were more prone to be rapists, or for that matter people from indiana....as a matter of fact i am from indiana and im not a rapist...
well.... I lived in Indiana for a few years, in Lake County - though in the south county - but I've been through Gary, and I now live just north of Roanoke and I must say, Gary Indiana is like night and day from where I live in VA - heck it was night and day from where I lived in South Lake County Indiana!
Regardless of race, national origin, color or creed - where you are raised does impact the person you turn out to be. And there are poor of all color/race living in crap neighborhoods all over this country - and there are crap parents all over this country raising their kids in horrid conditions (we read about these children every day on this forum and they are from all races and socio-economic backgrounds).
people overcome their circumstances all the time - and some kids make it out alive and get an education and get ahead, that is inspirational. Just as true is that there are some people who have a physical advantage and play sports and are given opportunities for an education and all that college level sports gives them.
But, as we've read on this forum time and time again - there are those people that for whatever reason, black-white-red-yellow
doesn't matter, poor-rich-middle class
doesn't matter, they are
broken beyond repair and they seek out victims and hurt them.
Could it be a childhood friend, college acquaintance, friend of the family - oh sure it could, and it could just as easily be a college athlete with a propensity for violence and an opportunity? you bet.
definitely not a racist comment, it is reality - it doesn't matter who they are, all of the aforementioned are suspect in my view.
