I totally agree, there is an out of control trend, for the past 20 years at least, of the refusal of people to accept responsibility for their own action. They blame their momma, who beat them, their lack of education, when they themselves didn't take advantage of the educational system, the fact that they are black or poor white, their place in society, or anything else rather than take responsibility for their own actions. Until we as a society start making people take responsibilty for their actions and quit letting the judicial system let them off because "after all it wasn't their fault", we will continue to see a general increase in crime and a total disregard for the rights of others to live safe and peaceful lives.
You might as well blame the sky for being blue. Our society as a whole is geared towards dodging responsibility. All the demographics mean is that there are more stupid irresponsible white kids than minorities. Don't beleive me...? Go to a popular mall on any given day and watch'em. Little wastrels, the lot of 'em.
