Storyteller says that what we can learn is: "if only the black kids parents had done a better job" (yaddayadda moniyhan report yadda)

But since I'm facilitating that is precisely NOT what we will learn. Conjuring black criminality deflects, derails, disorients, disguises...

White criminality: petty to the heinous, passes given at traffic stops to passes given on rape charges. #CrimingWhileWhite seen n unseen...

I've worked in white institutions n lived in white neighborhoods long enough to know white kids commit crimes AND get away w/them everyday.

If n when they get caught, white parents plead for leniency all day everyday. Authority figures give white kids slaps on the wrist everyday.

Yet n still all of these folks have "a black youth pulled a knife" stories they tell each other and tell themselves..deflecting, derailing.

Let me offer a difft story: Once upon EVERY time, everyone else in the story of "a black youth pulled a knife" has/is/will get away w/ shit.

But where is the federal report on the dysfunctional white family? the attention on white parenting? the travesty of white-on-white crime?
