[QUOTE="Kathie in Thorp, post: 1049753, member: 16769"] Dammmm, I so hate it when I think that if I hit "enter", the post will appear. Then I have to start my deep-thinking all over again. I grew up pretty sheltered in the Dakotas. I was probably about 10 when I realized that Native kids and Hispanic kids weren't just the same as me -- my parents pointed that out. I was a freshman in HS before I met a black kid, courtesy of Sky Ranch, who had a house in Belle Fourche, SD. When my (now 42 yr. old) daughter was a toddler, she ran into a black couple in the laundromat in Wenatchee, WA, and came screaming to me. They had done nothing to scare her; she'd just never seen a black person before. I was embarassed and apologized to them, and those folks were not at all upset. Here, I don't "expect" black kids to be a problem. Any kid that's a problem bothers me. Before I did the support enforcement stuff, I did the Juvenile Criminal cases work. All of it, or much of it, seems to boil down to nobody that worries about being responsible and not teaching respect. [/QUOTE]
