OK I'll start.
The NYTimes mentioned Risley and his study that showed that middle and upper class kids hear many more words asinfants and toddlers and it correlated to later success in schooll. Should we be making sure lower class people and especially blacks are aware of this? Can we influence culture?
What about spanking? There is a correlation between violence, criminality and spanking.if we reduce spanking will crime go down?
Just asking, because I would prefer more social harmony.

Actually, when spanking was stopped in schools the crime rates shot up didn't they? Un disciplined people commit more crimes.

Perhaps. But do you think spanking is an efficient way to teach discipline? Are there better ways? Do you believe inspanked kids are more criminal or violent? I tend to believe the opposite.

I think spanking is ok within reason, but I have seen kids where the parents have not disciplined them, they are animals.
A large percentage of the black community involves ignorant people, primarily women, raising babies/kids/children in the same manner in which they were raised, so it's a cycle that just repeats from one generation to the next one on and on.

In your opinion, how can that cycle be broken?
most black fathers are dead beats .it is something that is in their dna .so there is no helping them.What are some realistic and affordable solutions to the current problems?
Education, parenting skills, and law abidingbness seem like a good place to start.
Perhaps we could try to stay positive.

I agree, but I will also add that the above is a good formula for people of all 'races'. I know PLENTY of people from many different races that have not achieved the above.

I agree that those areas are important for everybody, not just blacks. do you think there is the same rate of inculcating middleclass values in the so-called black community? the recipe for success is fairly well known, eg marriage before kids, earning before spending, lawfulness, etc. is there anyway of convincing more people to follow the recipe? Ogbu found that a lot of black youth dismissed many old fashioned ideas as 'acting white'. can we get past that?
